What’s Covered Under the Jeep Factory Warranty?
Each warranty in Jeep’s factory coverage is designed to protect specific parts and systems of your vehicle. Let’s take a closer look at what’s included:
Basic Limited Warranty (3 years / 36,000 miles)
Often referred to as the “bumper-to-bumper warranty,” this coverage protects against defects in materials or workmanship for most components of your Jeep. This includes:

- Electrical System: Components like the alternator, starter, and battery.
- Air Conditioning: Both the cooling and heating systems.
- Suspension: Shocks, struts, and other parts affecting ride quality.
This warranty does not cover wear-and-tear items like brake pads, tires, or wiper blades, nor does it cover routine maintenance.
Powertrain Limited Warranty (5 years / 60,000 miles)
The Powertrain Limited Warranty extends beyond the bumper-to-bumper coverage and focuses on protecting the essential systems that keep your Jeep running, specifically the:
