What does the vehicle warranty period include?

Vehicle warranty period includes: replacement of air filter, oil filter, spark plugs, brake linings, and clutch plates. The vehicle warranty period refers to the time period during which the car manufacturer promises to provide free repairs and maintenance for faults caused by quality issues when selling the product to consumers. The warranty period for cars is usually 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Once either condition is met, it indicates that the car's warranty period has expired. After the warranty period, the owner is responsible for all expenses. Additionally, if the vehicle is not maintained according to regulations, or if damage is caused by unauthorized modifications or improper use, it will not be covered by free warranty even during the warranty period.
When I buy a new car, the warranty coverage is my top concern. The whole vehicle warranty generally covers 3 to 5 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Core components like the engine, transmission, and chassis are all included in the coverage—if there are quality issues, the manufacturer will repair or replace them for free. Electronic systems such as the central control screen and sensors are also covered. Wear-and-tear parts are more special—items like wiper blades, brake pads, and batteries usually only have a warranty of six months to one year. Damage caused by human error or failure to perform scheduled maintenance isn’t covered, and accident repairs should be handled by the insurance company. During the warranty period, it’s recommended to get maintenance done at the 4S shop to avoid disputes later.
