When you purchase a Jeep, you’re not just buying an off-road capable, adventure-ready vehicle—you’re also investing in a piece of mind.
Jeep’s Powertrain Warranty is one of the key aspects of this protection, designed to cover some of the most critical and costly components of your vehicle. But what exactly does the Jeep Powertrain Warranty cover, and how can it help safeguard your investment? In this guide, we’ll break down what’s included in the warranty, how long it lasts, and why it’s so essential for Jeep owners.
Understanding the Jeep Powertrain Warranty
The Powertrain Warranty focuses on the core components of your Jeep that are responsible for keeping it moving—whether you’re conquering off-road trails or driving through city streets. This warranty provides coverage for both the parts and labor needed to fix certain repairs, ensuring you don’t face expensive bills for covered issues during the warranty period.
Jeep’s Powertrain Limited Warranty typically lasts for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. For Jeep vehicles equipped with diesel engines, this warranty often extends to 100,000 miles due to the durability and longevity associated with diesel powertrains.
What’s Covered Under Jeep’s Powertrain Warranty?
The Jeep Powertrain Warranty is specifically designed to cover essential components within three main systems: the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. Below is a more detailed breakdown of what’s included under each of these systems:
- Engine: The engine block and all internal components (pistons, crankshaft, camshaft, timing gears, valve covers), oil pump, water pump, turbocharger, intake and exhaust manifolds, and cylinder heads.
- Transmission: Transmission case and all internal parts, including gears, input/output shafts, clutches, torque converter, transmission mounts, and seals.
- Drivetrain: Drive shafts, axles, differentials, universal joints, transfer case, and other related parts that power the wheels.
Engine Coverage
The engine is the heart of your Jeep, and any issues with it can be both costly and complex to repair. Fortunately, Jeep’s Powertrain Warranty covers the engine block and its internal components, such as pistons, crankshafts, and timing chains. It also includes coverage for critical parts like the turbocharger, water pump, and oil pump, ensuring the entire engine system is protected.
Transmission Coverage
A Jeep’s transmission plays a vital role in delivering power from the engine to the wheels. The Powertrain Warranty covers the transmission case and all internal parts, including clutches, gears, and shafts. Whether you have an automatic or manual transmission, this warranty ensures that you won’t have to foot the bill for major transmission repairs due to defects in materials or workmanship.
Drivetrain Coverage
The drivetrain includes the components that transfer power from the transmission to the wheels, such as the drive shafts, axles, and differentials. These parts are critical to your Jeep’s ability to maintain traction and navigate tough terrain. The Powertrain Warranty protects these parts from unexpected failures or defects, ensuring you can keep tackling off-road adventures without worry.
What’s Not Covered Under the Jeep Powertrain Warranty?
While the Powertrain Warranty covers many vital components, it’s important to note that certain parts and repairs are not included under this coverage:
- Wear and Tear Items: Components that naturally wear out over time, such as brake pads, clutches, belts, and hoses, are not covered.
- Maintenance: Routine maintenance services like oil changes, fluid flushes, and tire rotations are the owner’s responsibility.
- Damage from Accidents or Misuse: The Powertrain Warranty won’t cover repairs that result from collisions, off-road misuse, or improper maintenance.
- Non-Factory Modifications: Any parts added or modified that are not factory-approved may void your Powertrain Warranty, leaving repairs uncovered.
