What Is My Volkswagen Warranty Coverage?

Volkswagen delivers one of the best warranties in the auto business. Whenever you buy a new Volkswagen vehicle, you’ll receive a New Vehicle Limited Warranty with protection lasting for six years or 72,000 miles, whichever comes first*. You’ll also receive a Limited Warranty Against Corrosion Perforation, lasting for 7 years or 100,000 miles! Explore the Volkswagen warranty in depth, and find out how to extend your coverage, with help from the team at Volkswagen North Scottsdale.

Is the Volkswagen Warranty Transferable?

If you’ve ever shopped for a pre-owned vehicle, you’ll realize that most manufacturers do not allow their new vehicle warranties to transfer from one owner to another. In most cases, the only way to get a warranty on a used vehicle is to opt for a certified pre-owned model, which must pass a factory-mandated inspection and often receives a higher price tag, as a result.  Volkswagen does things a little differently. In fact, the Volkswagen Factory Warranty coverage will transfer to any owner who purchases the vehicle within that initial 6-year/72,000-mile coverage period. Better yet, the Volkswagen warranty can be transferred at no extra cost, and that means you can rake in a big reward if you decide to trade-in or sell after a few years of ownership.

What’s Covered Under the Volkswagen Factory Warranty?

The Volkswagen New Vehicle Limited Warranty includes coverage for a wide variety of different components. For example, the included Volkswagen Powertrain Warranty covers the engine, the transmission, and the transaxles for five years or 60,000 miles. That’s not the only coverage you should be aware of:

• Mechanical breakdowns – Covered for the entire warranty period
• Defective parts – Covered for the entire warranty period
• Battery – Covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles
• Brake Pads – Covered for 1 year or 12,000 miles
• Halogen/Xenon bulbs – Covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles
• Paint – Covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles
• Mechanical Adjustments – Covered for 1 year or 12,000 miles

Don’t forget: All new and CPO VW models also come with complimentary Volkswagen Roadside Assistance!
