  • The customer reports an engine failure to the selling distributor.
  • The distributor informs the end user to economically repair the failure.
  • The distributor assists as necessary. The customer is to pay the repair bill.
  • Repair the engine. Do not wait for the warranty outcome.

2. Submit the Warranty

  • Collect the necessary information. Use the warranty checklist to ensure you have all the necessary documentation.
  • Log into Interstate-McBee’s eCommerce portal and select “Submit a Warranty” under the Self-Service header.
  • Input the necessary information and click “Submit Warranty Case” to finalize the submission.
  • If additional assistance is require, please reference our Warranty How-To Guide.

3. After You Submit

  • When you receive an RGA form save and print the form.
  • Ship all parts, the printed RGA, and any sustaining documentation to the address listed on the RGA.
