Factory warranty typically covers defects in materials and workmanship, but not normal wear-and-tear items like tires, brake pads, wiper blades, and filters. These are considered maintenance items that wear down with use-not manufacturing defects.

However, if a tire fails due to a manufacturing defect rather than road damage or normal use, warranty may cover it. The same goes for brakes: a defective brake component is covered, but pad replacement from normal driving isn't.
