"Chrysler's lifetime warranty won't be offered in Canada
Jul 27, 2007 04:30 AM
Chrysler is offering lifetime warranties on the powertrains of its new cars and trucks in the U.S. but the auto giant won't offer the same coverage to motorists in Canada.
A DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc. spokesperson said yesterday the company has a different marketing strategy in Canada and won't change its coverage of five years or 100,000 kilometres on engines, transmissions and drive systems.
Before yesterday's move by Chrysler Group in the U.S., the company offered a lower powertrain warranty than in Canada, covering costs for three years or 36,000 miles south of the border.
The new U.S. warranty applies only to the first person who owns or leases a gasoline-powered vehicle. A company dealer needs to inspect a buyer's vehicle every five years for the warranty to remain in effect.
Canadians who buy Chrysler vehicles in the U.S. would lose the lifetime warranty once it crossed the border, the spokesperson said.
