Can a punctured tire on a new car be covered under warranty?
1 Answers
Punctured tires on new cars are not covered under warranty. Below is relevant information about automotive warranties: 1. Introduction: If within the warranty period or specified mileage, repairs can be performed free of charge. Powertrain warranty refers to the engine and transmission—if these components have quality issues, they will be covered, provided that regular maintenance is performed at designated locations (usually authorized 4S shops) as specified in the maintenance manual. 2. Warranty periods: Whether domestically or internationally, the term "full vehicle warranty" does not mean every component receives the same warranty service. Instead, warranties are divided by component. Generally, parts prone to wear or aging—such as batteries, shock absorbers, wipers, rubber parts, and audio equipment—have shorter warranty periods, while durable components like engine blocks have longer warranties. Some manufacturers explicitly exclude certain parts, such as tires, from warranty coverage.
