What Is the Fiat Factory Warranty?

Every new Fiat includes factory warranty coverage designed to protect against defects in materials or workmanship. Coverage is time and mileage based (whichever comes first).

Standard Fiat factory warranty coverage includes:
Basic Limited Warranty (Bumper to Bumper)
4 years or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first)
Covers most vehicle components, including parts and labor, for defects in materials or workmanship.

Powertrain Limited Warranty
5 years or 60,000 miles (whichever comes first)
Covers major drivetrain components including the engine, transmission, and drivetrain systems.

Corrosion Warranty
3 years, unlimited miles (all panels)
5 years, unlimited miles (outer panels)
Provides corrosion related protection based on covered panel types and warranty terms.

Roadside Assistance
Roadside assistance is available during the Basic Limited Warranty period.

Electric Vehicle Components
8 years or 100,000 miles
Applies to covered electric vehicle components for eligible electric models.

Once these coverage periods expire, repair costs become the owner’s responsibility.

What Happens When Fiat Warranty Coverage Expires?

Many Fiat vehicles remain in service well beyond 50,000 miles. After factory warranty coverage ends, owners become responsible for repair costs, including mechanical and electronic component failures.

Common out of pocket repairs after warranty expiration may include:

• Transmission repairs or replacement
• Engine component repairs
• Electronic system repairs
• Cooling system repairs
• Air conditioning system repairs
• Suspension component wear

As vehicles age and accumulate mileage, repair frequency and cost exposure typically increase.

Fiat Repair Costs After Warranty (Common Examples)

Repair costs vary by model and driving conditions, but common out of warranty repair expenses may include:

• Transmission repair or replacement: $3,000 to $6,000
• Engine repair or replacement: $2,500 to $6,500
• Electronic module replacement: $600 to $2,000
• Air conditioning repair: $800 to $2,000
• Cooling system repair: $500 to $1,800

Unexpected repair costs are one reason many Fiat owners evaluate continued protection once factory warranty expires.

Fiat Extended Warranty Options

Fiat offers manufacturer backed extended coverage programs that may extend certain protections beyond factory warranty limits. Availability, coverage levels, and pricing vary depending on vehicle eligibility.

Manufacturer extended warranties often:

• must be purchased within defined eligibility periods
• offer specific coverage term options
• vary in cost depending on model and dealer
• may not be available once eligibility limits are exceeded

Some owners evaluate vehicle service contract options depending on vehicle age and mileage.
