Understanding your Buick Limited warranty

Every new Buick comes with a standard manufacturer limited warranty package designed to protect your investment. Understanding the specifics of the Buick factory limited warranty and available extended protection plans can help you make the most of your coverage. Here’s a look at what’s included in the Buick factory limited warranty. 

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty, also known as the Bumper-to-Bumper warranty, covers repairs to correct defects in materials or workmanship. This coverage lasts for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first*. It is comprehensive, covering most of your vehicle from front to back, including tires and towing for limited warranty-covered repairs. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty also includes Restraint System Coverage; the seatbelts and airbag system are covered for 6 years or 72,000 miles, whichever comes first*.

The Buick powertrain limited warranty specifically covers the essential components that make your vehicle move. This includes parts of the engine, transmission and drive systems. The Powertrain Limited Warranty provides coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first*.

Buick provides two types of corrosion coverage. The first protects the body and sheet metal components against corrosion for 3 years or 36,000 miles*. A second, longer coverage protects against rust-through — an actual hole in the sheet metal — for 6 years or 100,000 miles*. 

Unlike the factory warranty that comes with the vehicle, a Buick protection plan can be purchased to help provide additional peace of mind once the original coverage expires. The Buick protection plan cost will vary depending on the plan you select.

Here’s an overview of available Buick Protection Plans:  

• Protection Plan*: This extends coverage for your vehicle and can help cover costs for unexpected repairs. 
• Pre-Paid Maintenance*: This plan covers scheduled oil changes and tire rotations, helping you stay on top of regular vehicle care. 
• Tire & Wheel Protection**: Can provide for the repair or replacement of tires and wheels if structurally damaged* by a covered road hazard. 
• GAP Coverage*: In the event of a total loss, GAP Coverage can help waive some or all of the difference between what you owe and what your insurance covers. 
• Advanced Protection*: This plan covers many components that commonly wear out over time. 
• XS Wear Lease Protection*: For leased vehicles, this plan helps cover common wear-and-tear charges* at the end of your lease. 
• Multi-Coverage Protection*: This combines several protection products to help preserve your vehicle’s appearance and performance.  

To determine if a Buick Protection Plan is right for you, you can take a quiz to find a plan that fits your needs. 

 However, the limited warranty does not cover parts that wear out through normal use. This includes items like brake pads and tires. It also does not cover damage from accidents, misuse or failing to perform regular maintenance. As an owner, you are responsible for keeping up with your vehicle’s maintenance schedule as outlined in your Owner's Manual and keeping records of this service. 

When you arrive, a service advisor will help diagnose the issue and determine if the repair is covered by your limited warranty. They will handle the process from there, helping to ensure your vehicle gets the attention it needs.

Current Buick owners can check their limited warranty status by entering their VIN at the Buick Owner’s Center. If you're considering a new vehicle, you can explore the full Buick lineup to find the right SUV for you.
