The Toyota warranty program includes comprehensive coverage from the manufacturer that guarantees your vehicle to run as you expect it to during the first several years of ownership. If there are defects in the parts, materials, or construction of your vehicle, the warranty pays for replacement parts and repairs.

Several plans come with the Toyota warranty program, including two of the most important warranties: the three-year or 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and the five-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. When you shop at Nucar Toyota of Norwood in Norwood, your new vehicle may come with a few more plans under the Toyota warranty package, depending on the model. Take a look at what the warranties cover:

• Basic, bumper-to-bumper coverage.
• Limited powertrain coverage.
• Toyota parts and accessories.
• Vehicle restraint systems.
• Corrosion protection.
• Emissions systems.
• Hybrid batteries.
• Roadside assistance.

What Vehicles Are Eligible for the Toyota Warranty?

All Toyota models are eligible for coverage under various warranty programs. Learn how new, pre-owned, and hybrid vehicles qualify for the Toyota warranty coverage:

New Vehicle Models

Every new Toyota vehicle comes with a 36-month or 36,000-mile limited coverage warranty. In addition to your new vehicle’s basic coverage, Toyota’s warranty package also includes a 60-month or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty and 60-month rust-through protection from corrosion perforation, which Toyota supports through unlimited miles. The emissions coverage can vary under federal regulations, so you’ll want to refer to your Toyota warranty and maintenance guide to determine if your new vehicle is included under this coverage.

Certified Pre-owned Models

When you purchase a certified pre-owned Toyota, your vehicle goes through a 160-point quality assurance inspection. If you purchase a certified pre-owned hybrid, this inspection evaluates 174 various points on the vehicle. The Toyota Certified Used Vehicle Warranty covers up to 12 months or 12,000 miles with the limited comprehensive warranty that takes effect the day you purchase your vehicle. In addition, Toyota includes a seven-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and a one-year, 24-hour roadside assistance plan on all certified pre-owned models.

Hybrid Models

For each new hybrid model, Toyota offers hybrid-related component coverage, powertrain coverage, corrosion protection, and emissions coverage. Starting with the 2020 model year, Toyota enhanced its hybrid battery warranty plan, which increases the previous battery coverage to 10 years from the purchase date or up to 150,000 miles. If you purchase a 2019 or older hybrid model, your battery warranty coverage extends up to eight years or 100,000 miles.

If your vehicle is covered by the emissions warranty, your battery may have longer coverage. Be sure to refer to your warranty guide for details or speak with a qualified expert at Nucar Toyota of Norwood.

What Does My Toyota Warranty Cover?

Your Toyota vehicle should come with the following coverage, whether you buy new or pre-owned:

New Vehicle Coverage

Every new Toyota vehicle comes with basic coverage that covers your vehicle for up to 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The basic warranty covers all vehicle components except normal wear and tear and regular maintenance items. In addition to your bumper-to-bumper warranty, the package includes:

• Powertrain coverage: This coverage lasts up to 60 months or 60,000 miles and covers the engine, transmission and transaxle, drivetrain, restraint systems, and air bags.
• Rust-through coverage: This coverage lasts up to 60 months and has unlimited miles. It covers corrosion and perforation of the body sheet metal.
• Emissions coverage: This can vary according to federal and state-specific regulations.

Toyota Certified Used Coverage

All certified pre-owned Toyota models come with a seven-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, in addition to coverage of other components and systems. Purchasing pre-owned also gives you the roadside assistance plan, similar to the new vehicle warranty. These are the components that the limited powertrain warranty covers for all certified used models:

• Engine components.
• Manual and automatic transmissions.
• Axle assembly parts and components.
• Hybrid battery and components.

Toyota Hybrid Vehicle Coverage

All Toyota hybrids come with specific coverage that protects your vehicle’s battery and connecting components. In addition, new and Toyota-certified used hybrids come with the same reliable coverage as fuel-powered models. If you’re considering a hybrid purchase, here’s what you can expect from your vehicle warranty package:

• Hybrid-related component coverage: This covers the battery, control modules, and inverter with converter for up to eight years or 100,000 miles on 2019 models and older and up to 10 years or 150,000 miles on 2020 models and newer.
• Hybrid powertrain coverage: This coverage lasts up to 60 months or 60,000 miles and covers the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and restraint system components.
• Rust-through protection: This covers your vehicle for up to 60 months and for unlimited miles, just like regular Toyota models.
• Emissions coverage: This can vary according to federal and state-specific regulations.

Toyota Genuine Parts Coverage

Toyota also covers your new or pre-owned vehicle with the Toyota Genuine Parts Warranty. Most vehicles have coverage for up to 12 months, which makes this warranty one of the longest-lasting manufacturer parts and accessories warranties in the market.

For Toyota parts and accessories you purchase at the same time as your vehicle, the Toyota Accessory Warranty covers your purchase for up to 36 months or 36,000 miles, just like the limited vehicle warranty. Accessories you purchase after you initially buy your vehicle are covered for 12 months after installation or for the remainder of your new vehicle warranty if it provides greater coverage, no matter the miles.

Your pre-owned vehicle may also be covered under the available Extended Vehicle Service Agreement, which can help you cover the costs of repairs and maintenance.
