Manufactuer's Coverage
What is Manufactuer's Coverage? Manufactuers have 2 types of warranties for their vehicles. They are known as "bumper to bumper" or "basic" warranty and "powertrain" warranty. The Basic/Bumper to Bumper warranty is the most comprehensive warranty and it covers everything from the head lights to the tail lights and everything in between. This type of coverage is typically shorter in duration. The powertrain is a more limited type coverage and it covers the system components that power your vehicle. Examples of these are Engine and Transmission.
