Passenger car, light-duty truck, crossover and van owners requiring a more comprehensive coverage than what is provided with the New-Vehicle Limited Warranty are encouraged to consider an authorized GM service contract (GM Protection Plan). This plan is available through your dealer/retailer. This is the only plan recommended by General Motors. See your dealer/retailer for details.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ALTERATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Installations or alterations to the original GM-equipped vehicle (or chassis) are not covered by the General Motors New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The special body company, assembler, equipment installer or upfitter is solely responsible for warranties on the body or equipment and any alterations (or any effect of the alterations) to any of the parts, components, systems or assemblies installed by GM. General Motors is not responsible for the safety or quality of design features, materials or workmanship of any alterations by such suppliers.
In addition to the Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage, General Motors will warrant certain Voltec components for each Chevrolet Volt (hereafter referred to as Voltec) for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first from the original in-service date of the vehicle, against warrantable repairs to the specific Voltec components of the vehicle. For complete details, refer to your Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet.

This Voltec warranty covers repairs to correct any Voltec component defect related to materials or workmanship occurring during the 8-year/100,000 mile term for the following:
Propulsion Battery Warranty Policy
Like all batteries, the amount of energy that the high-voltage “propulsion” battery can store will decrease with time and miles driven. Depending on use, the battery may degrade as little as 10 percent to as much as 30 percent of capacity over the warranty period. A dealer service technician will determine if the battery energy capacity (kWh storage) is within the proper limit, given the age and mileage of the vehicle. Your Volt battery warranty replacement may not return your vehicle to “as-new” condition, but it will make your Volt fully operational appropriate to its age and mileage.
Other Voltec Components
Other components covered by the Voltec warranty include: high-voltage wiring, Voltec control modules, e-compressor, Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM), Accessory Power Module (APM) and Voltec on-board charger.
Brakes
In addition to the coverages above, the brake modulator assembly is also covered by the 8-year/100,000-mile Voltec warranty.

What does the bumper-to-bumper warranty cover?
The Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty covers most GM vehicles registered in the U.S. and Canada from the date the vehicle is first delivered until it reaches 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first, see dealer for details). It covers the vehicle from bumper to bumper on any vehicle defect related to materials or workmanship. Original tires are covered but prorated after 12,000 miles during the terms of the Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty. For further details, look in the Owner's Manual under "What Is Covered" and "What Is Not Covered."
What is the difference between the 3-year/36,000-mile warranty and the 100,000 mile/5-year Powertrain warranty?
The New-Vehicle Limited Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty on new Chevrolet cars and light-duty trucks remains in effect for 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first, see dealer for details). The powertrain limited warranty supplements the Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and, in general, continues to cover the engine, transmission, transfer case and axle assemblies on light-duty vehicles up to the 5 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first, see dealer for details) from the vehicle's in-service date.
Is my vehicle covered from rust, too?
GM vehicles are designed and built to resist corrosion. All body and sheet metal components are warranted against rust-through corrosion for a minimum of 6 years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first).

As you can see, Chevrolet has you covered with our Bumper-to-Bumper Limited warranty. Below you will find a few additional warranties that may apply to your vehicle.
Accessory Coverage
Most GM Parts and Accessories sold and permanently installed on a GM vehicle by a GM dealer or GM-approved Accessory Distributor/Installer (ADI) prior to delivery will be covered under the applicable portion (Bumper-to-Bumper, Powertrain, etc.) of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. In the event GM Accessories are installed after vehicle delivery or are replaced under the New-Vehicle Limited Warranty, they will be covered, parts and labor, for the balance of the applicable portion of the New-Vehicle Limited Warranty, but in no event less than 12 months/12,000 miles. GM Accessories sold over the counter or those not requiring installation, will continue to receive the standard GM Dealer Parts Warranty of 12 months from the date of purchase, parts only. GM Licensed Accessories and Integrated Business Partners (IBP) are covered under the accessory-specific manufacturer's warranty and are not warranted by GM or its dealers.
Original Equipment Alterations
This warranty does not cover any damage or failure resulting from modification or alteration to the vehicle's original equipment as manufactured or assembled by General Motors. Examples of the types of alterations that would not be covered include cutting, welding, or disconnecting of the vehicle's original equipment parts and components.
Recreation Vehicle and Special Body or Equipment Alterations
Installations or alterations to the original equipment vehicle or chassis, as manufactured and assembled by GM, are not covered by this warranty. The special body company, assembler, or equipment installer is solely responsible for warranties on the body or equipment and any alterations to any of the parts, components, systems, or assemblies installed by GM. Examples include, but are not limited to, special body installations such as recreational vehicles; the installation of any non-GM part; cutting, welding, or the disconnecting of original equipment vehicle or chassis parts and components; extension of the wheelbase; suspension and driveline modifications; and axle additions.
There are a number of Federal and California emissions warranties that apply to the proper functioning of your Chevrolet. See your Chevrolet dealer or refer to your Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet for more about these various warranties.
Noise Emissions Warranty
(Light-Duty Trucks Over 10,000 lbs Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
This warranty covers this vehicle as designed, built, and equipped by GM, and is not limited to any particular part, component, or system of the vehicle manufactured by GM. Defects in design or assembly, or in any part, component, or vehicle system as manufactured by GM, which, at the time it left GM's control, caused noise emissions to exceed Federal Standards, are covered by this warranty for the life of the vehicle.

Do you drive more than an average of 12,000 miles a year? Do you plan on keeping your Chevrolet longer than 3 years? If you can answer yes to either of these questions, the Chevrolet Protection Plan is perfect to help keep you and your Chevrolet protected today, tomorrow and for the miles yet to come.
With 11 different month/mile combinations ranging from 36 months/60,000 miles to 84 months/100,000 miles, there’s a Platinum or Silver level Chevrolet Protection Plan covering virtually every need.
These protection plans are far more than a service contract-they’re coverage you can count on. With the Chevrolet Protection Plan, you will be reimbursed, less the applicable deductible, for the repair or replacement of any covered component of your vehicle that has experienced a mechanical breakdown. This coverage applies to many major systems and their smaller components, including:
The Chevrolet Protection Plan goes much further than you’d expect by providing coverage for things that lie outside of your vehicle, including towing, lost key replacement, rental vehicle reimbursement, tire protection reimbursement and road trip interruption reimbursement. Plus, this protection is completely transferrable if you choose to sell your vehicle during your coverage period.
Visit your Chevrolet dealer to discuss items not covered, complete terms of the Chevrolet Protection Plan and to find the plan that’s right for you.
