California emissions system: warranty to 100k? Cover O2 sensors?

I've been getting sporadic DTCs of 17521 and 17539 indicating forward oxygen sensors. Also got a sporadic 16805 suggesting (maybe consequent) trouble in one catalytic converter.

I've heard mention of a California mandate that emissions systems are covered to 100k miles. Anyone flesh this out? If true I better haul *** to the dealer, I'm at 99600 so I have about a week!

Any input welcomed. Anyone out there get O2 sensors for nuttn?

That's the catalytic converter. MAF and O2 sensors are 7/70K

The Federal emissions warranty covers the OBD-II system, ECM, and cats. Calif emission warranty...

covers a wider range of parts for 7 yrs/70K miles: cats, exhaust & intake manifolds, ECM, fuel tank, secondary air injection pump, throttle body, TCM, and turbo. Calif warranty does not cover MAF.
