LEGAL
Warranty (Limited)
A new-car warranty with specific coverage terms and exclusions.
// Why it matters
A limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for a specified time and mileage, with exclusions (wear items, damage from misuse, etc.). New cars come with a bumper-to-bumper warranty (typically 3 years/36k miles) and a powertrain warranty (typically 5 years/60k miles, sometimes 10 years/100k). "Limited" means there are exclusions — read the warranty booklet. Federal law (Magnuson-Moss) requires written warranties to be available before purchase.
