Corrosion Warranty
This policy provides terms for corrosion warranty coverage.
The Corrosion warranty coverage is valid starting from Levante and MY17 vehicles and the policy is present into the related warranty booklets.
Should any part of the bodywork¹ of the vehicle be perforated by rust corrosion, the panel(s) affected by the perforation² will be repaired or replaced by an authorized Maserati dealer completely free of charge, regardless of any change in vehicle ownership.
Maserati offers a 4 year warranty with an option for renewal for up to 4 additional years, in case of bodywork perforation by rust corrosion.
The first 4 years represent the basic coverage. After the first 4 years the corrosion warranty is renewable each year for up to 4 additional years at any Maserati Authorized Dealer³, on condition that the maintenance of the vehicle was always performed according to the standards, terms and contents provided by Maserati and reported in the maintenance schedule for the vehicle.
In case the customer performed the maintenance elsewhere, their corrosion warranty is not subject to refusal, as long as they provides the documents as proof.
Moreover, the Repairer should perform a visual check of the vehicle, preferably with the support of the ”Service walk –around checklist”, usually used during the Reception phase at Service.
This visual check aims to verify the current conditions of the vehicle’s bodywork and to observe any issues that may have altered/ changed the original quality of the bodywork.
The result of the vehicle's inspection and documents' check should be reported on the warranty booklets, filling out the dedicated pages “Corrosion Warranty Check 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th”. On those pages the Maserati Repairer will certify the corrosion warranty renewal or its refusal, specifying the reasons why.
The vehicle’s inspection will take no longer than the usual reception check and could be performed also during the standard maintenance.
Please, note that no reimbursement will be provided by Maserati for this vehicle’s inspection.
For all the Maserati Network this is a good opportunity to improve the customer retention and Maserati Authorized Repairers should take advantage of the workshop visits for renewals to propose services and products to customers
The Corrosion Protection Warranty begins when the New Vehicle Limited Warranty begins.
