When you purchase a new or certified pre-owned Nissan, you get the benefit of a generous car warranty. It’s important to understand the coverage limitations of your standard warranty so you can know which repairs are covered by your Nissan dealership. 

The basic warranty for a new Nissan is three years or 36,000 miles, while a new powertrain is covered for five years or 60,000 miles. Nissan also offers a variety of new vehicle warranties, such as corrosion coverage for five years and unlimited miles, federal emissions performance for two years or 24,000 miles, federal emissions defect for three years or 36,000 miles, and long-term federal emissions defect for either years or 80,000 miles. 

A new vehicle warranty from Nissan has a few important benefits, such as 24-hour roadside assistance for the first three years or 36,000 miles of vehicle ownership. Roadside assistance benefits include flat tire, dead battery, lockout service, mechanical breakdown, fuel delivery, and one-way towing for an accident or collision. Towing assistance is also provided for five years or 60,000 miles. 

New Vehicle Warranty Exclusions

Just like any other warranty, there are a few exclusions you should be aware of. Your factory warranty from Nissan will not cover the cost of repairs for routine maintenance, wear and tear, or damage from unauthorized vehicle alterations. Your warranty also does not cover damage from lack of maintenance or damage from natural environmental factors, such as hair, lightning, or tree sap. 

Certified Pre-Owned Warranty 

If you have a CPO Nissan, then you will get the benefit of a powertrain warranty that lasts for seven years or up to 100,000 miles. Nissan vehicles that are part of the CPO program must pass a 167-point inspection, be less than six years old, and have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. Your CPO Nissan warranty will also come with 24-hour roadside assistance for seven years starting from the original sell date. 

Should You Ask Your Nissan Dealership About Extended Protection Plans?

If you want to boost the protection of your vehicle and save money on repairs, you may want to consider purchasing an extended protection plan from your dealership. A Nissan extended warranty can be purchased before your factory warranty expires. 

You will have three extended warranty programs to choose from, which are the Gold Preferred, Silver Preferred, and Powertrain Preferred plans. These extended warranty programs also have roadside assistance and towing benefits. Extended warranties from Nissan can last for eight years or 120,000 miles.
