See the EPA document at http://www.epa.gov/otaq/cert/factshts/catcvrts.pdf.
The footnote to Section (6)(3) on page 4 says that vehicles less than 5 years old or less than 50k miles may be entitled to free repairs by the vehicle manufacturer under the emissions warranty if the original converter was defective. The section says 8 years/80,000 miles for 1995 and newer vehicles but the footnote is on the 50k mile statement.

All vehicles registered in, or commuting at least 60 days into, Bernalillo County are required to pass an emissions test every two years. Part of the emissions test is a visual inspection to confirm that the vehicle has a catalytic converter(s) installed. Outside of Bernalillo County, state or local laws do not (as far as I know) require catalytic converters, but Federal law may prohibit you from removing your cats from your vehicle.

I know that most(all?) Chrysler vehicles have a 8/80 Federal emission warranty on them when new that covers things like the catalytic converter. As for other brands I do not know. Your best bet would be to call your local dealer or the 1-800 phone number from you owners manual for the customer help line and ask.I know that most(all?)
