You will get extensive warranty coverage when you buy a new Mazda vehicle. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty is good for three years or 36,000 miles, while the Limited Powertrain Warranty is in effect for five years or 60,000 miles. Knowing what could void these warranties is essential, and some of the most important regard your Mazda service habits.
Misusing the Vehicle
When you own a car, you can do with it what you like — within reason. If you use it for unintended activities – like taking a Mazda3 off-road, for example – this may void your warranty.
Making Aftermarket Alterations
We do not advise modifying a leased vehicle because this can constitute excess wear. You can modify a car you own, but if you’re using aftermarket components instead of genuine Mazda parts, this could void the warranty.
Altering the Odometer
Tampering with an odometer to change the mileage will void your warranty and is also against the law.
Ignoring Maintenance
To keep warranties valid, you must give your car regular service, which means sticking to a manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule. Doing this is also a great way to keep your vehicle in excellent condition, which boosts its performance and saves you money.
Other Things to Know About Your Warranties
While those are all things you can (or can’t) do that may void a warranty, there are other instances in which a warranty could be affected. Damage from a flood, fire, or severe accident that results in the car being issued a salvage title will void your warranty.
