YAMAHA, MERCURY, OR SUZUKI PRODUCT WARRANTY CLAIMS

To begin a Yamaha, Mercury, or Suzuki warranty claim, please complete an online request form with the information about your claim. Needed information includes:

  Information to include with the How Can We Help You Field:

  • Your engine’s serial number (PID)
  • The part number for which you are making a warranty claim
  • Description of the issue with the part(s)/product(s) being returned

  Order Number

  • Your PartsVu order number 

If needed, we will issue and provide you with a return authorization (RA) number to be included in your product return shipment. 

Please note that PartsVu does not cover the shipping cost for warranty claims. 

What Happens After PartsVu Receives Your Warranty Claim Shipment?

Once our warehouse has received the part, we will return the item to the appropriate engine manufacturer. A warranty claim will then be opened. This process can take up to 90 days for our vendor(s) to complete their processes and deem a warranty claim accepted or denied. 

If the warranty is accepted, we will order a replacement part and ship it to you after receiving it in our warehouse. Please note that neither Yamaha, Mercury, nor Suzuki will drop ship to a consumer. All orders must ship directly to the applicable dealer (in this case PartsVu), then shipped to you, the customer.

What Can You Do While Waiting for Your Product Warranty Claim to Process?

Warranty claim processes cannot be expedited. If you choose, you can place a new order for a replacement part, and if the warranty claim is accepted, we will issue a refund for the original order amount.
