Warranty for the paintwork
and body
Volkswagen dealerships provide a warranty
on the paintwork and body of all vehicles
purchased from them.
In addition to the warranty conditions for
factory-new Volkswagen vehicles (as detailed
in the purchase contract), the Volkswagen
dealer guarantees that the body of any vehi-
cles it sells will not be affected by paint im-
perfections or corrosion perforation for
a specified period:
— a three-year warranty on paint imperfec-
tions and
— a twelve-year corrosion perforation war-
ranty. Here, corrosion perforation refers to
rust forming on the inside (cavity) of the
body and causing holes in the sheet metal.
—
Applies only to the USA:
a seven-year cor-
rosion perforation warranty. Here, corro-
sion perforation refers to rust forming on
the inside (cavity) of the body and causing
holes in the sheet metal.
If such damage occurs nevertheless, it will be
repaired free of charge for parts and labour
by any Volkswagen dealership.
The warranty does not cover the following:
— Damage caused by external influence or
insufficient care.
— Imperfections on the body or paintwork
which are not repaired promptly according
to manufacturer specifications.
— Corrosion perforation that is directly rela-
ted to body repairs not being carried out
according to manufacturer specifications.
If the body is repaired or painted, your Volks-
wagen dealership will confirm your warranty
against corrosion perforation for the repaired
area.
