How Long Is the Car Warranty Period?
2 Answers
The car warranty period is no less than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first; the car three-guarantee validity period is no less than 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The warranty period and three-guarantee validity period for household automobile products are calculated from the date the seller issues the purchase invoice. Different manufacturers have different warranty periods, generally ranging from 2 years or 60,000 kilometers, 3 years or 80,000 kilometers, to 4 years or 100,000 kilometers. There are two conditions for the warranty period: one is a time limit, and the other is a mileage limit. As long as either of these two conditions is met, it indicates that the vehicle's warranty period has expired, and any subsequent normal maintenance and repairs are not covered for free.
You know, I remember when I bought a car before, the warranty period was generally three years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. For example, my last car was a domestic brand, and the manual clearly stated that the engine and transmission might have a five-year warranty, but other parts were only covered for three years. Why set it up this way? Mainly because manufacturers want to control costs while giving car owners some protection. If you drive less, the six-year period might end first based on mileage. I suggest that after buying a new car, the first thing to do is read the user manual or register warranty information on the official website. Regularly perform maintenance and avoid messing around at non-authorized shops, otherwise the warranty may become void. If any issues arise, contact the dealer directly—don’t wait until the warranty expires to check.
