It’s essential to know what is included in a vehicle’s
powertrain components. 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 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.
