What Does Lifetime Warranty Mean?
1 Answers
Automobile lifetime warranty, in simple terms, means that if there are quality issues with the vehicle itself within the warranty period specified by the manufacturer, it can be repaired or replaced free of charge. However, lifetime warranties generally come with many restrictions, such as the vehicle owner must be the first owner, maintenance must always be performed at a 4S shop, major components and wear-and-tear parts are not covered, and the lifetime warranty becomes void after replacing major components. Below is more related information about lifetime warranties: 1. Lifetime warranty and repair are not the same concept. A warranty is a manufacturer's guarantee of quality, not a promise to provide all repairs for free. 2. During vehicle use, maintenance costs arising from normal wear and tear, rather than issues with the product itself, are not covered by the warranty. These items include but are not limited to: oil changes, oil filter replacement, fuel filter replacement, transmission fluid replacement, air filter replacement, cabin air filter replacement, fluid top-ups, tire rotation, paint polishing, engine carbon cleaning, engine tuning, and engine belt replacement. 3. The warranty covers non-human-induced part failures that can be claimed for replacement, excluding wear-and-tear parts and routine maintenance. In summary, a lifetime warranty does not mean that maintenance or repairs are free, and certain conditions must be met to enjoy the lifetime warranty.
