Manufacturer's Warranty Definitions
Basic Warranty
The specific terms established by each manufacturer to repair vehicles for a specified mileage and/or time period. All factory installed parts are covered against defects and workmanship. This "bumper-to-bumper" warranty is always the most comprehensive.
Powertrain Warranty
The portion of a manufacturer’s warranty that begins after the basic warranty expires. Typically, this covers only the engine and transmission. Many powertrain warranties are not transferable to new owners. You can refer to your manufacturer warranty booklet for further details.
Federal Emissions Warranty
The Federal Emissions Warranty guidelines are based on federal regulations and apply to vehicles in all 50 states. Vehicles are covered by two types of emissions control system warranty, "Emission Defect Warranty" and "Emissions Performance Warranty".
Depending on the state in which you live, the Performance Warranty is for 3 years/50,000 miles. The Defect Warranty is generally consistent with the manufacturer's bumper-to-bumper warranty with certain parts (like the catalytic converter and electronic emissions controls (PCM) which may be covered for up to 8 years/80,000 miles. Please refer to your owner's manual for your exact emissions warranty.
Corrosion Warranty
Covers rust-through perforation on sheet metal for a specified term. Surface corrosion from dents, nicks and scratches are not covered. Please refer to your owner's manual for your exact corrosion warranty.
