3 Answers
The warranty for the steering gear of the Haval H2 is three years or 60,000 kilometers. Car warranty conditions: Car warranties come with many conditions, and the warranty period represents the maximum duration. Different components may have varying warranty periods, so consumers should pay special attention to the warranty duration and conditions for consumable parts. Many manufacturers specify in the vehicle manual that consumable and wear-and-tear parts are not covered under warranty unless there is a quality issue. Variations in car warranty periods: Generally, the warranty periods for the engine and transmission are the same as the overall warranty period, whereas consumable parts like batteries, air filters, cabin air filters, and timing belts have much shorter warranty periods. Additionally, the Maintenance Manual typically states that wear-and-tear parts such as wiper blades, brake pads, clutch plates, tires, headlights, and glass are not covered under warranty.
The warranty period for the Haval H2's steering gear is generally aligned with the vehicle's overall warranty. My car has been driven for over three years, and the warranty manual states three years or 100,000 kilometers. When I bought the car, the salesperson specifically mentioned that core components like the steering system are covered under the vehicle's warranty. However, the specifics depend on the year of purchase, as new policies may have changed. A friend of mine coincidentally discovered a steering gear oil leak just before the warranty expired and got it replaced for free. I recommend you take some time to check the vehicle manual or visit the 4S store to review the system records. Drive carefully on rough roads to reduce wear on the steering gear—if issues arise after the warranty expires, replacing it out of pocket could cost around five to six thousand yuan.
Having worked in auto repair for over a decade, I've encountered numerous steering gear issues with the Haval H2. The manufacturer's standard warranty typically covers three years or 100,000 kilometers, with the steering system being a core component that's definitely included. However, be aware that damage caused by human factors isn't covered—such as chassis modifications or collision damage from accidents. Recently, there was an owner whose steering gear made abnormal noises; upon inspection, it was found to be bearing wear within the warranty period, so the entire assembly was replaced under warranty. It's advisable to check the power steering fluid every six months, and if the fluid appears cloudy, replace it promptly to extend the lifespan. Post-warranty repairs can indeed be expensive, with replacement of an original part plus labor starting at around 4,000 yuan.
