Can the Warranty Still Be Applied After Water Damage Repairs?
1 Answers
After a vehicle has been repaired for water damage, the warranty cannot be applied. Below is relevant information about vehicle warranties: 1. Vehicle Warranty Period: The warranty period or mileage for the entire vehicle is determined by the manufacturer's publicly announced data. Generally, it is two years or 60,000 kilometers, or three years or 100,000 kilometers. Some manufacturers may offer warranty mechanisms that exceed these time and mileage limits. 2. Requirements for Vehicle Warranty Use: The vehicle warranty covers free replacement of various parts if they are confirmed to be damaged due to quality issues rather than human factors, such as speedometers or air conditioning components. If these issues occur within the warranty period or specified mileage, they can be repaired for free. The powertrain warranty refers to the engine and transmission. If these components experience quality issues, they will be covered under warranty, provided that regular maintenance is performed at authorized service centers as specified in the maintenance manual. In the above cases, free replacement is available if the issue is confirmed to be a quality problem. However, if the damage is caused by improper operation, the manufacturer will not provide warranty coverage.
