Is a punctured tire covered under warranty for a new car?
1 Answers
A punctured tire on a new car is not covered under warranty. The tire warranty only includes manufacturing defects such as unexplained bulges or blowouts, which require professional assessment by the manufacturer. If the issue is confirmed as a manufacturing defect, a new tire will be replaced free of charge. However, damages caused by external factors like impacts or nail punctures are not covered under the warranty, and the associated costs must be borne by the vehicle owner. During the car's warranty period, the manufacturer provides free repairs or replacement of faulty parts that occur under normal usage conditions as specified. However, this does not mean that any repair is covered simply because the car is under warranty, nor should it be simplistically interpreted as 'everything is covered.'
