What Can Be Repaired During the Car Warranty Period?
1 Answers
In most cases, core components including the engine, transmission, steering system, drivetrain, suspension system, chassis, etc., are covered by a warranty period of three years or 100,000 kilometers. Components such as tires, headlights, batteries, wipers, and brake pads are classified as wear-and-tear parts, and their warranty period is generally only 3 to 6 months or 5,000 kilometers. Under the following circumstances, car owners will not be eligible for free warranty services: 1. Failure to perform maintenance as required: If a new car owner does not take the vehicle to the designated 4S shop or manufacturer-authorized service station for regular maintenance within the specified mileage, any issues that arise, even during the warranty period, will require the owner to pay for the repair costs. 2. Unauthorized vehicle modifications: "No warranty for modified vehicles" is a common consensus among almost all manufacturers regarding warranty issues. Some brands even stipulate in their warranty terms that if the owner changes the vehicle's purpose without authorization, such as using it for rental, leasing, or competitive racing, it will be considered as voluntarily forfeiting the warranty rights.
