One of the most important yet often overlooked things to consider when shopping for a new vehicle is what kind of warranties will come with it. While a vast majority of manufacturers will provide a limited warranty for the vehicle’s powertrain, what it covers and how long it’s good for can vary from make to make, model to model. For the Chevrolet brand, every vehicle comes with the same powertrain limited warranty. So today, we’re going to detail what’s covered under the warranty for your 2025 Chevy vehicle.
How long is the powertrain covered under warranty?
If you’ve shopped for a vehicle before, then you’re likely aware that how long a warranty lasts is split into two possible lengths: time and distance. The powertrain limited warranty that comes with each and every 2025 Chevy vehicle is good for up to either five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. So, that means if you hit 60,000 miles in three years, your warranty will only last until that point. Likewise, if you hit the five year mark and have only driven 50,000 miles, your warranty only lasts until that point.
Which components are covered by the warranty?
Now that we know how long your powertrain will be protected, it’s important to highlight which components are actually covered by the warranty, because powertrain is a relatively broad term. First it’s important to note that your warranty will cover the cost of parts and labor for any covered repairs, which include any defects in materials or workmanship for the duration of the warranty. Here is a list of covered components:
- Parts of the engine itself
- Crankshaft
- Cylinder heads
- Engine block
- Gaskets
- Manifolds
- Oil pump
- Pistons
- Seals
- Timing gears
- Valves
- Internal electrical
- Internally lubricated parts
- Parts of the transmission, transaxle, and/or transfer case
- Case itself
- Gaskets
- Mounts
- Seals
- Torque converter
- Internal electrical
- Internally lubricated parts
- Parts of the drive systems
- Axle shafts
- Bearings
- Constant-velocity joints
- Final-drive housings
- Propeller shafts
- Universal joints
- Internally lubricated parts
What isn’t covered by the warranty?
It’s important to keep in mind that the warranty only covers repairs that are required due to manufacturer defects. So that means if a part isn’t working the way it should be because it’s faulty itself or because it was installed incorrectly, then it is covered. But if something in your powertrain breaks for some other reason, such as in an unrelated accident, it won’t be covered. In addition, there are some components that are not covered by the warranty at all, which includes the following:
- Connectors
- Coolant
- Cooling lines
- Hoses
- Radiators
- Sensors
- Wiring
