What Does the Three-Year Warranty Cover?
1 Answers
New vehicles come with a three-year comprehensive warranty, which specifically covers the powertrain warranty, including the engine and transmission, drivetrain, chassis, speedometer, and air conditioning components. If these parts experience quality issues, they will be covered under warranty, provided that regular maintenance is performed at an authorized 4S dealership as outlined in the maintenance manual. Below are additional details: 1. Free Replacement of Parts: The comprehensive warranty covers free replacement of various parts if they are confirmed to have quality issues rather than damage caused by human factors, such as the speedometer or air conditioning components. These repairs are free if the issues arise within the warranty period or the specified mileage limit. 2. Engine and Transmission Warranty: The powertrain warranty includes the engine and transmission. If these components develop quality issues, they will be covered under warranty, provided that regular maintenance is performed at an authorized 4S dealership as per the maintenance manual. 3. Warranty Period: Generally, components prone to wear or aging, such as batteries, shock absorbers, wipers, rubber parts, and audio equipment, have shorter warranty periods. In contrast, more durable components like engine blocks have longer warranty periods. Some manufacturers may also declare certain parts, such as tires, as non-warranty items. 4. Comprehensive Vehicle Warranty Period: Different components have different warranty periods, so the so-called comprehensive vehicle warranty period is more accurately described as the warranty period of the component with the longest coverage. Some manufacturers' extended warranties may only apply to a few highly durable components, while uninformed consumers might mistakenly believe it covers the entire vehicle for an extended period.
