Porsche Parts Warranty in Orland Park

Good warranty coverage is always a welcome quality for a vehicle to offer, and Porsche vehicles come with a great 4-year/50,000-mile new vehicle warranty. But that’s not the only warranty coverage you get with Porsche; there is also a warranty on genuine Porsche OEM parts installed on your vehicle after you purchase it. Read on for a more detailed breakdown.

Porsche Parts Warranty - Coverage

The Porsche parts warranty is a little different from other warranty coverages, since it has no relation to the age or mileage of the vehicle itself. In fact, there isn’t a mileage limit on the parts warranty at all, and coverage is for two years, no matter how many miles you drive.

Porsche Parts Warranty - What is Covered

The warranty covers all Genuine Porsche parts, including Tequipment accessories. There are exceptions, like clothing or racing parts, but for covered parts, an authorized Porsche dealership will cover the cost of parts and labor for replacement parts.

Porsche Parts Warranty - Normal Use

Parts are covered only when they fall under the Porsche definition of normal use. Using parts in a way that they were not intended will void the warranty. Normal use is defined as follows:

• To carry passengers and cargo within specified load limits. (The load limits are specified on labels located in different places depending on your model Porsche. Your Owner’s Manual gives the locations.)
• To be driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal speed limits. Porsche Guidelines specify reasonable mileage to be at least 15 miles / 24 kilometers per day or 6,000 miles / 9,600 kilometers per rolling 12 months.
• If you drive less than the above-mentioned limits, or in the event of prolonged storage, contact your local authorized Porsche Center for instructions. (Note: A battery maintainer is available at your local authorized Porsche Center. It must be used to maintain your vehicle’s battery state of charge if your vehicle will not be used for several days.)
• To be run on unleaded gasoline with the recommended octane rating, or Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), depending upon the vehicle’s powertrain, as specified in the Owner‘s Manual.
• To be properly maintained according to the Maintenance Schedule in the Maintenance Booklet and Car Care Instructions in your Owner’s Manual. You must keep the receipts as proof of maintenance.

Porsche Parts Warranty - What’s Not Covered

Porsche has a few more specific guidelines concerning what isn’t covered by the warranty:

• Clothing, luggage, leather, bicycles (see separate warranties at your authorized Porsche Center).
• Parts installed in vehicles for racing, competition, or track use.
• Batteries damaged from storage, lack of normal vehicle use, or non-Porsche-approved electrical or accessory installation.
• Parts for which proof of purchase date, installation date and vehicle mileage at the time of installation are not presented.
• Parts considered normal maintenance items (such as brake pads, linings, clutch discs, tires, exhaust systems, shocks, struts, wiper blades, trim, decals, foil, mirror/car cover, bras, paint, etc.) unless they are defective in material or workmanship.
• Parts replaced under the New Car Limited Warranty, or parts covered under other warranties.
• Normal wear, adjustments, or deterioration of any part.
• Parts installed in a car with an odometer that has been altered so that the actual mileage cannot be determined.
• Improper repairs causing damage to the vehicle, its engine, or parts.
• Abuse, accident, acts of God, or other events beyond the control of PCNA.
• Components and/or parts that fail as a result of competition, racing, track use or other driving events (including Porsche sponsored events).
• Minor wind noise and insignificant seepage at the joints between the top and the body, or door windows in Cabriolet models cannot be completely avoided under all circumstances. Your Cabriolet or Targa should not be washed in a car wash and may experience damage to the top or window due to the scratching by the brushes, or may experience leaks due to the high pressure water streams directed in areas which would not experience water in normal driving conditions. Tires damaged by road hazard. (If you need further assistance, contact your authorized Porsche Center.)
• Tires damaged by premature wear.
  Note: Porsche’s race-bred heritage demands that tires are an integral part of the vehicle suspension, braking, and active safety systems. As a result, all Porsche vehicles are equipped with tires designed for higher performance than those found on other passenger vehicles. While tire wear varies with vehicle operation, high performance tires like these are designed to assist the vehicle’s suspension in delivering increased cornering forces and better handling. They may exhibit increased wear characteristics when compared to tires on other passenger vehicles.
• Consult your Owner’s Manual for information concerning the proper care and selection of your tires. Refer to the Porsche Tire Information Guide for additional information.
• Your vehicle is a mechanical device. All mechanical devices make some sort of noise and/or vibration, and those noises and vibrations can differ from vehicle to vehicle. PCNA recognizes those noises as normal and characteristic of the product. Normal noises or vibrations as determined by PCNA can be anything from brake squeal to road vibration. Therefore, normal noise and/or vibration and/or deterioration as determined by PCNA or its representative is not covered by our warranty.
• Paint matching. (PCNA reserves the sole right to decide whether painting the repaired or replaced panel to match the original finish is practicable. PCNA will not, under any circumstances, pay for painting the entire car solely for paint color matching.)
• Unauthorized modifications or vehicles with salvage titles.
• Rusting of the outside of the underbody (floor pan) or any other part of the car except body panels.
• Rusting of body panels that were replaced, repaired, or refinished after the car was first sold at retail, other than genuine Porsche parts supplied by an authorized Porsche Center.
• Body panel rust caused by abuse or lack of maintenance
• Improper paint/accident repair.
• Environmental damage such as that caused by acid rain or other industrial pollution, insect or bird droppings, tree sap, stones or other flying objects, highway maintenance chemicals, flood, storm, and other forms of disaster.
• Accident, acts of God, or other events beyond the control of PCNA, collision damage, abuse or repairs.
