New vehicle warranties have been progressing in coverage over the last few years – thanks in large part to Hyundai’s 10 year/100,000 mile warranty — but Chrysler has announced it will be scaling back its warranty coverage, starting with the 2010 model year.
Chrysler currently employs a lifetime powertrain warranty, but the Michigan automaker will be launching a new five year, 100,000 mile warranty for the 2010 model year. The shift is intended to make warranty transfers much easier.
“The issue of transferability was something people found very appealing,” Chrysler spokesman Rick Deneau said of the new program. The five year, 100,000 mile warranty will be transferable to a new owner at no additional cost. according to Automotive News.
The new program will also be farther reaching than Chrysler’s current warranty program. The new program will cover SRT performance vehicles and the Dodge Viper, vehicles that were left out of Chrysler’s lifetime powertrain warranty. However, the Dodge Sprinter and Dodge Ram models equipped with diesel engines will still be excluded from the program.
