As a new car owner, your car warranty gives you peace of mind by covering essential components and offering perks like roadside assistance. It’s important to understand the limitations of your new Genesis warranty so know which parts are covered for repairs and replacements. 

Genesis Warranty Essentials: Understanding Your Coverage

All new Genesis vehicles are equipped with a five-year or 60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty that covers virtually all the vehicle’s factory components. Along with this comprehensive coverage, your Genesis vehicle comes with a 10-year or 10,000-mile powertrain warranty. The powertrain warranty will cover replacements and repairs for parts such as the transmission, motor, and drive axle. 


An anti-perforation warranty is another common coverage for new vehicles. This five-year warranty will repair any body panels that develop rust or perforation damage as a result of internal mechanical defects. Any genuine parts that are replaced as part of your repairs will be covered for one year or up to 12,000 miles. 



What About Accessories?

If you replace any genuine Genesis accessories, you will have the benefit of a three-year or 36,000-mile warranty. For some accessories, the cost of repairing the authentic accessory will be covered by this warranty. 



What Are Warranty Exclusions?

The vehicle components that are excluded from your warranty coverage are typically wear-and-tear parts, such as brake pads, air filters, windshield wiper blades, oil filters, lightbulbs, and spark plugs. To ensure your warranty is valid for the full length of the warranty term, you must follow your vehicle’s recommended service schedule and keep all service records, even if your maintenance is performed at Genesis dealers. 



What Are Warranty Benefits?

A new vehicle warranty from Genesis has two perks: roadside assistance and complimentary maintenance. You will have access to roadside assistance for tasks like tire changes and engine jumps for up to five years. The complimentary maintenance benefit lasts for three years or 36,000 miles, and covers routine maintenance like oil changes during your normal service appointments.  



Should You Consider an Extended Warranty?

After your factory warranty expires, it may be a good idea to purchase an extended warranty, particularly if you plan to own your Genesis for several years. Various Genesis Protection Plans can be purchased directly from your dealership.
