Buying a car from a Chrysler dealership certainly has its perks. These include access to service and parts departments, online shopping tools, and exclusive offers from the manufacturer. Every new vehicle purchase also comes with a Chrysler warranty to give you even greater peace of mind when on the road.
Chrysler offers a three-year/36,000-mile basic limited warranty on all new vehicle purchases. This covers damages or defects to your car caused by factory-installed parts. While the specifics of your warranty may vary based on the vehicle you purchase, coverage is generally available for the repair or replacement of factory-installed parts and systems.
Elements not covered by this warranty include:
- Damage caused by aftermarket parts
- Routine maintenance
- Repairs necessary after an accident
- Damage caused by environmental hazards
- Any part not on the vehicle at the time of manufacturing
- Any part not certified for the vehicle’s use
Separate Warranties from Your Chrysler Dealership
Many parts comprise a vehicle, and Chrysler strives to ensure they’re all protected against defective workmanship or materials. These parts are manufactured by Mopar and feature warranties separate from your basic limited warranty. Likewise, they’re governed by different time and mileage limitations and include:
- Water pumps
- Alternators
- Starters
- Brake pads and shoes
- Catalytic converters
- Batteries
The Mopar Details You Need
Mopar serves as the gateway to parts, service, and customer care after purchasing your new Chrysler vehicle. From scheduling maintenance and/or repair service at your dealer to accessing additional information about your car’s warranty, you’ll find what you’re looking for on Mopar’s comprehensive website.
We mention this because Mopar parts replaced on a Chrysler vehicle are covered separately by the Mopar 24-month Basic Limited Warranty that starts on the date of installation. A few exceptions exist to this warranty, however, including Mopar collision replacement parts. These are covered by a separate lifetime limited warranty.
Gaskets and Seals
Mopar warrants its gaskets and seals installed by an authorized dealer for 12 months. This warranty protects against normal defects in workmanship and material and begins on the date of repair. Coverage includes both labor and parts.
Three-Year/100,000-Mile Warranties
Some Mopar parts are warranted for three years/100,000 miles, including the powertrain and HEMI Crate Engine Kit Powertrain. For the latter to qualify for coverage, the installation kit must be purchased at the same time as the engine – meaning both must show on the invoice. Failure to provide this proof voids the powertrain warranty, and the HEMI crate engines revert to a 90-day warranty that covers against defects in materials and workmanship.
Diesel Parts
Remanufactured Cummins diesel parts are covered by a one-year/unlimited-miles warranty. To verify warranty coverage, the customer must provide the repair order with the following information:
- Date and mileage at time of repair
- VIN
- Part number
- Serial number
