It’s essential to know what is included in a
vehicle’s powertrain. Given below are the powertrain components that
mechanically drive your vehicle:
•
Axles (on most vehicles)
•
Drive shafts
•
Differentials
•
Transmission
•
Transfer case (on four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles)
•
Engine
Besides these parts, a vehicle manufacturer
manufactures parts that are included or excluded from the original warranties
of powertrain as they see fit. These powertrain components can be hubs, wheel
bearings, exhaust manifolds, axle shafts, and much more.
ü What
does a powertrain warranty include
Whether you purchase a used or new car, you
always see that the car should not give you significant expense afterward. If
there is any defect that arises after purchasing, it should be repaired or
rectified properly with low-cost or free, and you always want that assurance
for yourself, from whatever company you purchase the car. It should not give
you much pain for thinking about the repairing of the car. For that, you need
to know the components of the powertrain which provides the warranty. Not every
element is included in the warranty, but some of the powertrain components that
are covered by the warranty are given below:
•
Accessory coverage
•
Battery coverage
•
Warranty on Audio component
•
Comprehensive warranty also referred to like a new car warranty or a
“bumper-to-bumper” warranty
•
Warranty on powertrain
•
Warranty on emissions
•
Warranty on rust
•
Roadside assistance
ü Why is
Powertrain Warranty Important?
Powertrain warranty is important because the repairing
cost of powertrain components is not inexpensive. Whether there is an oil leak
in the front pump seal or one or more of the engine’s cylinders have low compression, or it’s a
simple noise bearing problem in the differential, it may cost you hundreds of
dollars.
Hence powertrain warranty will save you some
penny. Not only this, the warranty process shows the commitment of a
manufacturer towards its quality products.
