Jeep Corrosion Warranty: Terms and Conditions

Posted by Howard Gutman | Dec 26, 2024 | 0 Comments

JEEP WARRANTY INFORMATION 2024

2. WHAT IS COVERED UNDER FCA US LLC'S WARRANTIES

2.1 BASIC LIMITED WARRANTY

E. WHEN IT BEGINS

The Basic Limited Warranty begins on either of the following dates, whichever is earlier:

  • The date you take delivery of the vehicle.
  • The date when the vehicle was first put into use, for example, as a dealer “demo” or as an FCA US LLC company vehicle.

2.2 CORROSION WARRANTY

A. WHO IS COVERED

You are covered by the Corrosion Warranty if you are a purchaser for use of the vehicle.

B. WHAT IS COVERED

The Corrosion Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair or replace any sheet metal panels that get holes from rust or other corrosion.

If a hole occurs because of something other than corrosion, this warranty does not apply. Cosmetic or surface corrosion may be covered under the warranty. The cause of cosmetic or surface corrosion will determine if there is coverage. Cosmetic or surface corrosion resulting from stone chips or scratches in the paint is not covered. For more details on what is not covered by this warranty, refer to “section 3.5”.

C. HOW LONG IT LASTS

The Corrosion Warranty starts when your Basic Limited Warranty begins under “section 2.1 E”.

This warranty has two time-and-mileage limits:

  • For sheet metal panels, the limit is 3 years, with no mileage limit.
  • For an outer-body sheet metal panel, one that is finish-painted and that someone can see when walking around the vehicle, the limit is 5 years, with no mileage limit.

D. WHAT IS NOT COVERED

Please note that while the standard Corrosion Warranty applies to defects in material and/or workmanship, it does not cover the vehicle's matte finish appearance (if equipped).

Maintaining the matte finish appearance is solely the responsibility of the vehicle owner as described in your Owner's Manual.

3. WHAT IS NOT COVERED

3.5 CERTAIN KINDS OF CORROSION NOT COVERED

Your warranties do not cover the following:

  • Corrosion caused by accident, damage, abuse, or vehicle alteration
  • Surface corrosion caused by such things as industrial fallout, sand, salt, hail, ocean spray, and stones
  • Corrosion caused by the extensive or abnormal transport of caustic materials like chemicals, acids, and fertilizers
  • Corrosion of special bodies, body conversions, or equipment that was not on your vehicle when it left the manufacturing plant or was not supplied by FCA US LLC
