MAZDA Warranty Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

You don’t always think about your Mazda warranty until something goes wrong, and that’s a stressful time to start reading the fine print. At Bakersfield Mazda, we want you to know what you’re covered for before you ever need to make that call. Learn about both new and Mazda Certified Pre-Owned warranty coverage with our team.

What Does the MAZDA New-Vehicle Limited Warranty Cover?

The Mazda New-Vehicle Limited Warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship across nearly all factory-supplied components for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever limit you reach first. Coverage transfers with the car rather than just the original buyer, so it provides extra resale value. If a warranted failure leaves your vehicle undrivable, towing to the nearest authorized Mazda dealer is covered at no charge for the same period.

How Long Does Powertrain Coverage Last?

The heart of the vehicle gets longer coverage, with five years or 60,000 miles specifically protecting the engine, transmission, and drivetrain against manufacturing defects. Cylinder blocks and heads, torque converters, and constant velocity joints are all included. Powertrain towing is covered through this same window, and the warranty transfers to the next owner at no cost.

What Warranty Comes with a MAZDA Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?

To earn Mazda Certified Pre-Owned status, a vehicle must be six model years old or newer with fewer than 80,000 miles, and cleared through a 160-point inspection by factory-trained technicians. Once certified, your Mazda warranty protection carries forward in two layers: any remaining new-vehicle limited warranty stays active, followed by a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned Limited Vehicle Warranty that adds 12 months or 12,000 miles with no deductible on covered repairs.

The Mazda Certified Pre-Owned Powertrain Warranty runs 7 years or 100,000 miles, but that clock starts from the original in-service date, not your purchase date. Remaining coverage varies depending on the vehicle’s age at the time of your purchase. Both warranties transfer at no cost.

What Is Not Covered Under MAZDA Warranties?

Oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacements, and wiper blades are owner-maintenance items and fall outside Mazda warranty protection. Accidents and damage from deferred maintenance are excluded, too. Keeping up with the factory-recommended maintenance schedule protects your coverage throughout the term.
