Nissan Warranty Coverage Options

What Does the Nissan Factory Warranty Cover?

Nissan’s factory warranty is designed to provide you coverage for any repairs resulting from defective parts on your vehicle. The factory warranty covers the cost of the replacement components and the labor required to carry out the repair.

Nissan’s bumper-to-bumper warranty covers all components on your vehicle, unless your repairs are covered under another warranty. For example, your engine is covered by the powertrain warranty, which runs for five years. There’s also a five-year corrosion warranty, which covers the body panels on your vehicle from rust damage.

The basic three-year Nissan warranty comes with roadside assistance, which can come in handy if you require an emergency fuel delivery or if you have a flat tire. If your vehicle breaks down and the repair costs are covered by the warranty, the warranty will also cover the cost of towing your car to the nearest Nissan-authorized dealership.

To be able to claim repair costs under your Nissan warranty, you must have the maintenance work carried out at a Nissan-certified service center, such as our service bay at Nissan of Streetsboro. Work done by a third party mechanic may result in the warranty being voided.

There are some things not covered by the factory warranty. One is regular routine maintenance, such as oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid adjustments. You’ll need to pay for these services outside of your warranty. Your warranty also won’t apply if a part of your vehicle gets damaged because you failed to follow the regular maintenance schedule.

There are also parts of a car that factory warranties don’t cover, such as tires. Tires are typically subject to their own warranty, which is provided by the tire manufacturer. Headlights and some accessories are also not covered.

The warranty won’t cover non-Nissan parts or damage caused by them. It also won’t cover costs resulting from situations such as an accident, collision, theft, or racing. A full list of the exclusions will be in your specific model’s warranty booklet.

What Is the Nissan Powertrain Warranty?

Nissan’s powertrain warranty covers the components of your engine, transmission, transaxle, and drivetrain for up to five years or 60,000 miles of driving, whichever comes first. The warranty will take care of the cost for genuine Nissan replacement parts and the labor required to carry out the repair.

Examples of the parts covered by your powertrain warranty include cylinder heads, oil pans, rocker covers, automatic transmission control modules, and drive shafts. You’ll find more detailed information in your vehicle’s warranty booklet.

The powertrain warranty also covers parts like the fuel pump, oil pump, and water pump.

In case you’ve got the Nissan Leaf, which is an electric vehicle, you’ll have a Nissan battery warranty. The lithium ion battery pack is covered by a 96-month or 100,000-mile warranty.

What Are My Options for An Extended Warranty?

When your factory warranty expires, you can avoid having to pay for expensive repair costs by purchasing an extended warranty. Nissan offers several extended warranty options that allow you to continue to have the peace of mind provided by the factory warranty as your vehicle gets older. Nissan’s extended warranties are offered as part of its SecurityPlus program. You can choose from SecurityPlus Gold, SecurityPlus Silver, and SecurityPlus PowerTrain.

As its name suggests, SecurityPlus PowerTrain provides you with coverage for any damage to your engine and transmission after its five-year or 60,000-mile warranty expires. Since engine repairs can often be expensive, SecurityPlus PowerTrain is a good extended warranty to choose if you want to keep your monthly payments down while having some protection against unexpected repairs.

The SecurityPlus Gold plan provides you with coverage for most of your vehicle’s components, apart from a few exceptions. These include regular maintenance tasks, such as brake pad replacements and oil changes.

The SecurityPlus Silver plan falls somewhere in the middle between the Gold and PowerTrain options. In addition to covering your engine and transmission, it also includes key parts of the vehicle such as your air conditioning and brakes. There is a list of exclusions under the SecurityPlus Silver plan, so be sure to review them before you decide whether this is the right warranty for you.

Another advantage of selecting one of Nissan’s extended warranties is that they can help improve your vehicle’s value. Warranties can be transferred to a new owner if you sell your car. As a result, a potential buyer may be willing to offer a higher price due to the extra protection provided by the warranty.
