What Does the Whole Vehicle Warranty Include?
2 Answers
Whole vehicle warranty means that various components will be replaced free of charge if they are confirmed to be damaged due to quality issues rather than human factors, such as issues with the speedometer or air conditioning. The data for the whole vehicle warranty comes from the warranty period or mileage announced by the manufacturer for the vehicle. Generally, it is two years or 60,000 kilometers, but some manufacturers may offer warranty mechanisms that exceed these durations and mileages. Below is the difference between whole vehicle warranty and warranty for all components at the same time: Whole vehicle warranty: Whether domestically or internationally, whole vehicle warranty does not truly mean that all components of the vehicle enjoy the same warranty service. Instead, it is divided by component. Concept of whole vehicle warranty: Different components have different warranty periods, so the exact expression of whole vehicle warranty is the warranty period of "the component with the longest warranty period in the whole vehicle." Some manufacturers' extended warranties are actually limited to a few components that are not easily damaged.
When it comes to the vehicle warranty, I often wonder what it covers after purchasing a car. It basically includes core components like the engine, transmission, and chassis suspension, as well as manufacturing defects in electrical systems such as headlights and air conditioning control modules. However, it doesn’t cover consumables like tires, wipers, filters, or damages caused by accidents and illegal modifications. The warranty period is usually three years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. I’ve found that regular maintenance at the 4S shop is crucial—it helps prevent minor issues from escalating and ensures the warranty remains valid. Whenever I notice unusual noises or vibrations in the car, I get it checked immediately, which saves both hassle and money. Remember to read the detailed terms in the manual and don’t overlook the replacement cycles for those wear-prone parts.
