The warranty coverage period for:
- Passenger cars, light duty trucks (applies to vehicles up to 8,500 pounds GVWR)
- 8 years or 80,000 miles (whichever occurs first) for catalytic converters, electronic engine control unit (ECU), transmission control module (TCM), and any other onboard emissions diagnostic module.
