What Is the Nissan Factory Warranty?

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

Standard Nissan factory warranty coverage includes:
Basic Limited Warranty (Bumper to Bumper)
3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first)
Covers repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship for most vehicle components.

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

Corrosion Coverage
5 years, unlimited miles
Protects against rust perforation of body panels.

Seat Belt Warranty
10 years, unlimited miles
Provides long-term warranty protection for seat belt components.

Roadside Assistance
3 years or 36,000 miles
Includes towing, battery jump-starts, and emergency roadside services.

EV Battery Warranty
8 years or 100,000 miles
Covers defects and premature capacity loss for electric vehicle battery systems.

Federal Emissions Warranty
Specific emissions-related components are covered under federal regulations, with major components typically covered for 8 years or 80,000 miles.

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

What Happens When Nissan Warranty Coverage Expires?

Many Nissan vehicles remain in service well beyond 60,000 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:

• CVT transmission repairs or replacement
• Engine component failures
• Electronic control module replacement
• Air conditioning system repairs
• Fuel system component repairs
• Suspension component wear

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

Nissan Repair Costs After Warranty (Common Examples)

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

• CVT transmission replacement: $3,500 to $7,000
• Engine repair or replacement: $3,000 to $6,500
• Electronic module replacement: $700 to $2,000
• Air conditioning repair: $800 to $2,200
• Suspension repairs: $600 to $1,800

Unexpected repair expenses are one reason many Nissan owners evaluate continued protection once factory warranty expires.

Nissan Extended Warranty Options

Nissan 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.
