What is a Catalytic Converter?
A catalytic converter is a device that uses a catalyst to convert three harmful compounds in car exhaust into harmless compounds:
How It Works: In a catalytic converter, the catalyst (platinum and palladium) is coated onto a ceramic honeycomb housed in a muffler-like package. It converts carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water, and nitrogen oxides back into nitrogen and oxygen.
Standard Warranty: 1 year or 30,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
External damage caused by hitting solid objects like speed bumps or rocks is not covered.
Ensure gaskets are not leaking; oil entering the exhaust system will contaminate the converter.
Avoid unburned fuel entering the cat (caused by misfires or faulty spark plugs), which leads to substrate melting.
