Warranty coverage begins when you take delivery of your vehicle and is valid for a specific time period or mileage limit-whichever comes first. For example, you might have three years or 36,000 miles of coverage (most reach a mileage limit before the time expires).

Powertrain warranty often extends longer, giving you protection even as years pass. Keep your warranty documents safe so you have proof of coverage when you need service.

For the exact start date, time limit, and mileage limit on your specific vehicle, check your warranty paperwork or call **(219) 250-9487**. Our team can also explain how to track your remaining coverage and what happens when it approaches the end.
