What Does the 3-Year/100,000 km Warranty Cover?
1 Answers
The 3-year/100,000 km warranty mainly covers the core components of the vehicle, such as the engine, drivetrain, transmission, suspension system, chassis, and other parts that are less prone to damage. Consumable items like tires, lights, and brakes are not included in the 3-year/100,000 km warranty. The 3-year/100,000 km warranty period refers to whichever comes first—three years or 100,000 kilometers. If the car exceeds 30,000 kilometers or has been owned for more than three years, it is considered out of warranty. During the warranty period, if any covered components fail, they can be repaired for free at an authorized 4S dealership, provided the damage is not due to improper use. Relevant provisions of the Three Guarantees Law: All new vehicles sold on the market must provide a warranty period of no less than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers. Any quality issues arising during this period are eligible for free repairs, including parts and labor costs. Vehicle warranty coverage: Many manufacturers specify in the owner's manual that wear-and-tear items and consumables are not covered under warranty unless they are due to quality defects. Generally, the warranty for the engine and transmission aligns with the overall warranty period, while short-lived components like batteries, air filters, cabin air filters, and timing belts have much shorter warranty periods. The Maintenance Manual typically clarifies that wear-and-tear parts such as wiper blades, brake pads, clutch plates, tires, headlights, and glass are excluded from warranty coverage.
