Nissan New Car Warranty

Nissan New Car Warranties – Everything You Need To Know

If you own a new or recently purchased Nissan, your vehicle likely still has an active Nissan new car warranty. Owning a car is a long-term investment, and a solid warranty is your safety net for peace of mind. Nissan’s vehicle warranty offerings reflect their unwavering commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. As an authorised Nissan dealer, Group1 Nissan ensures that you receive the highest level of service and support throughout your vehicle ownership experience. We’re dedicated to providing you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your investment is protected.

Types Of Nissan Warranties

The complete lineup of Nissan warranty coverage includes:

Standard Manufacturer Warranty

Specific Nissan car warranty information might differ by model, but most new vehicles have a 6-year/150,000 km warranty. This warranty covers key components and parts against defects in materials or workmanship performed at an approved Nissan dealership using genuine Nissan parts.

Extended Warranty

For those seeking additional coverage, Nissan provides an extended warranty option that allows you to extend protection beyond the standard period as long as their original Nissan warranty is in place. This option is particularly useful for drivers who plan to keep their vehicles longer than the initial warranty period. Contact Group1 Nissan for details on extending your warranty.

Battery Warranty

A specific battery warranty is available, especially important for electric and hybrid vehicles. This warranty addresses defects in battery performance, ensuring your vehicle operates efficiently and reliably.

Additional Warranty Coverage

Additional warranties may include corrosion protection and roadside assistance, providing further peace of mind while driving your Nissan vehicle.

Service And Maintenance Plans

Service and maintenance plans, though not warranties are valuable add-ons often bundled with new vehicles. A service plan covers routine maintenance, including oil changes, filter replacements, and inspections. Maintenance plans, on the other hand, address wear-and-tear items like brake pads and clutch components but exclude repairs for unexpected mechanical issues.

What Nissan Parts Are Covered?

Understanding the terms and conditions of your Nissan warranty, including its limitations and exclusions, is essential for maximizing your coverage. Here’s a more detailed look at what is and isn’t covered:

What’s Covered

All repairs must be carried out at an authorised Nissan dealership, and the warranty covers the following conditions:

  • Mechanical Repairs: This includes repairs to the vehicle’s engine, transmission, and other critical mechanical components that may fail due to defects in materials or workmanship.
  • Parts Replacement: If any warrantable part/s and/or components of your vehicle are found to be defective, Nissan will replace them with genuine Nissan parts at no cost to you.
  • Defects in Materials: Coverage includes any manufacturing defects in the materials used to construct your vehicle. If a part fails due to a defect during manufacturing, it will be repaired or replaced under warranty.

What’s Not Covered

  • Routine Maintenance: Regular maintenance services such as oil changes, tyre rotations, brake inspections, and fluid replacements are not covered under the warranty. These services are essential for keeping your vehicle in optimal condition but are considered the owner’s responsibility.
  • Wear-and-Tear Items: Components that naturally wear out over time, such as brake pads, tyres, wiper blades, and batteries (unless covered by a specific battery warranty), are not included. These items require periodic replacement as part of normal vehicle upkeep.
  • Damage from Misuse: Nissan will not cover damage resulting from improper use of the vehicle, including accidents, neglect, or modifications not authorized by Nissan. This includes damage caused by racing, off-road driving, or failure to follow maintenance schedules.
  • Environmental Damage: Damage caused by environmental factors such as hail, flooding, or exposure to corrosive substances is also excluded from coverage.

Always refer to your warranty documentation for specific details on your vehicle model, and consult with Group1 Nissan if you have any questions regarding coverage.

Nissan Warranty FAQs

How do I claim my warranty?

Show The Answer +

To initiate a warranty claim, schedule a visit to your nearest Group1 Nissan dealership, where a technician will inspect your vehicle. If the claim is valid, the dealership will proceed with the necessary repairs covered under your warranty. Be prepared to cover any diagnostic costs or repairs not included in the warranty coverage.

What happens if I sell my car during the warranty period?

Show The Answer +

If you sell your Nissan vehicle while it is still under warranty, the warranty remains valid for the new owner. This transfer of ownership allows the new owner to benefit from the remaining coverage without any interruption. So, if you purchase a Nissan Navara within the manufacturer’s official warranty period, you’ll receive the remaining warranty coverage transferred to you.

Are accessories covered?

Show The Answer +

Accessories installed by authorised Nissan dealers are typically covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. This includes parts that improve your vehicle’s functionality or aesthetics, provided they were installed correctly and meet Nissan’s specifications. However, accessories added after purchase or installed by unauthorised dealers may not be covered. Always check with Group1 Nissan for specifics regarding accessory coverage to ensure any modifications comply with warranty requirements.

What If My Nissan Is Out Of Warranty?

You can keep even older model Nissan vehicles working perfectly, even if they are out of warranty! You can do this through our Nissan Value Advantage program, backed by Nissan South Africa, to bring affordable prices to parts that don’t compromise quality and fitment.
