Warranty and Assistance

Paint surface warranty

Should the paint surface of the vehicle body require attention due to a defect in material or applications, any necessary repairs will be performed completely free of charge by any Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer. This applies regardless of any change in vehicle ownership during the period of cover. The paint surface warranty's period of cover begins at the same time as the vehicle warranty and continues for a period of three years.

Owner's responsibilities

Your owner's handbook and service portfolio describe the proper care of your vehicle. Make sure that all the required maintenance is performed, including regular cleaning of bodywork, and that the materials used meet Land Rover engineering specifications. Failure to perform the required maintenance on a timely basis and in accordance with Land Rover's service intervals will invalidate warranty coverage on affected parts.
Make sure you present your vehicle to a Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer for any warranty repair as soon as practicable after a defect is detected. This will minimise the affect a defect has on your vehicle and the nature of the repair needed.
Be sure that receipts for completed maintenance work are retained with the vehicle and confirmation of maintenance work is always recorded in your service portfolio.

Making a claim

If you wish to make a claim on the warranty, visit your Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer and have the service portfolio available. In the vast majority of cases the Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer will be able to carry out the repair immediately. However, you should note that occasionally the nature of the repair may require the Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer to obtain authority from Land Rover before proceeding.

Warranty exclusions

• Failure to rectify on a timely basis any paint or corrosion damage recorded in the service portfolio by a Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer at the time of the annual inspection

Other exclusions
The Land Rover Warranty excludes liability for any lost time, inconvenience, loss of transportation, or any other incidental or consequential damage you (or anyone else) may incur as a result of a defect covered by this warranty.

Anti-corrosion warranty

Should any part of the bodywork of the vehicle be perforated by rust corrosion, the panels affected by the perforation will be repaired or replaced by any Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer, completely free of charge, regardless of any change in vehicle ownership. The anti-corrosion warranty begins at the same time as the vehicle warranty and continues for a period of six years.

The term 'perforation' means a hole that penetrates through the bodywork caused by corrosion from the inside or underside as a result of faulty manufacture or materials.

Warranty cover when touring

Land Rover has a comprehensive service network in most parts of the world. Any Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer can carry out repairs under the Land Rover Warranty. Under normal circumstances, you should not be required to pay for any warranty work at the time it is performed by a Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer.
When touring, it is your responsibility to produce the service portfolio issued with your vehicle (which establishes your right to warranty coverage and the relevant maintenance and service materials). If you are unable do so, the Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer should seek advice from Land Rover or the local importer or national sales company.
Under exceptional circumstances, you may be asked to pay for repairs that are in fact covered by the Land Rover warranty. If so, you should retain the invoice and, where practical, any replaced parts so that upon your return home your local Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer can arrange for prompt reimbursement as appropriate

3-year 100,000 km warranty

Should any part of the vehicle require repair or replacement as a result of a manufacturing defect, the part will be repaired or replaced completely free of charge by any Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer, regardless of any change of vehicle ownership during the period of cover.
Tyre defects are covered separately by the tyre manufacturer.
However, your Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer will assist you with any tyre claim.
The vehicle warranty starts on the day that the vehicle is delivered to the first retail customer and continues for three years 100,000 km.
Note that only genuine Land Rover accessories fitted by a Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer, within 1 month/1,600 km (whichever occurs first) of the handover of a new vehicle will benefit from the same warranty terms and period of cover as the new vehicle warranty.
