What is more, the Japanese automaker includes a 3-year / 100 000 km warranty and a 2-services / 20 000 km service plan into the price of the vehicle. Customers can also opt to purchase extended warranties and service plans. While most would want to know exactly what is covered under the included manufacturer warranty of the new Toyota Agya, we take a look at what is considered exclusions.
Exclusions
In order to understand exactly what is covered, it often makes more sense to look at what is not covered, this is because more parts are likely to be covered than not. Now first things first, whether you have the standard 2-year / 20 000 km service plan or opted to extend it, it is imperative that owners adhere to the servicing schedule.
Not only will it provide peace of mind but also give the Toyota technicians the opportunity to monitor the wear on critical components. It is also to see whether the owner is correctly maintaining the vehicle and topping up fluids and is using the correct fuel as per the Owner's Manual. These fluids are not covered under the warranty and improper maintenance could void the warranty on particular components.
Your warranty will also be in the void if you do not use the vehicle in its intended way. Thus avoid racing or overloading the vehicle and just overall abuse or negligence. If something does go wrong, do not install non-Genuine Toyota Parts or do improper repairs. Altering or tampering or even installing non-Genuine Toyota accessories could void individual component warranties.
Wear and tear components is also not covered such as tyres, brakes, clutches, wiper blades, batteries and refillable fluids ie; lubricants, fuel, washer fluid. Toyota also cannot take responsibility for fire damage, accidents or theft of the vehicle nor airborne chemicals, tree sap, road debris (including stone chips), rail dust, salt, hail, floods, wind storms, lightning and other environmental conditions.
Conclusion
If you maintain your vehicle and regularly check the fluids, you should have the peace of mind that if something did go wrong, the component in question will most likely be replaced under warranty. It is also imperative that if you notice a weird noise or vibration or something just does not quite feel well with the car, to immediately bring it under the attention of your nearest Toyota dealership so that they can schedule an appointment. Continuing to drive the vehicle even when you know there might be something wrong could damage other parts.
