Aston Martin DB11 2021Vehicle Warranties and What is Not Covered User Guide
Vehicle Warranties
Aston Martin gives a Warranty for each new Aston Martin vehicle and each replacement vehicle or assembly manufactured or supplied by the Company to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for the applicable Warranty period. The warranties provided herein are for the benefit of the original purchaser and any subsequent owner during the relevant Warranty Period (defined below) in the Serviced Countries (defined below). An Aston Martin vehicle is built and homologated to support the Region for which it is manufactured and is compliant with the local regulatory requirements of that Region. As a result, the warranties cover Aston Martin vehicles that are built for and supplied to the Region.
For the purposes of this Owner’s Guide, Region means one of the following territories:
- The Americas, including the United States, Canada, and South America; or
- The United Kingdom, Europe, Russia and South Africa; or
- The Middle East, North Africa and India; or
- Asia Pacific, including China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.
‘Serviced Countries’ means either:
(a) any country in the Region from which your Aston Martin vehicle was purchased, where there is an Aston Martin authorized dealer or repairer; or (b) any country agreed in writing with Aston Martin. Tires are covered separately by the tyre manufacturer. Dealers are expected to offer assistance to the customer in pursuing a claim against the tyre manufacturer.
Exchange Parts Under Warranty
New parts will only be used for repairs at PDI and during the first three months or 5000 km/3000 miles (which ever occurs first) from the date the vehicle is handed over to the first retail customer. Thereafter exchange parts must be used where available under Aston Martin’s exchange plan.
Anti Perforation Corrosion Protection Warranty
The vehicles bodywork is protected by an Anti Perforation Corrosion Warranty. Should any part of the bodywork of the Aston Martin vehicle be perforated, the panel(s) affected by the perforation will be repaired or replaced. The term ‘perforation’ means a hole that penetrates through a body panel from the inside.
Warranty Period
The period of cover for all types of warranty commences on the day the vehicle is handed over to the first registered keeper of the car (first registered keeper shall mean the Dealer in the context of demonstration vehicles). The Vehicle Warranty period of cover is three years with unlimited mileage. The Anti-Perforation Corrosion Warranty period of cover is ten years with unlimited mileage.
Who May Repair the Vehicle
Franchise Holders or Approved Repairers, who are appointed and receive full technical support from Aston Martin, provide facilities for the servicing and repair of Aston Martin motorcars. Only such Franchise Holders or Approved Repairs will under the terms of this warranty, repair replace or readjust, free of charge to the owner, any part or assemble proved to Aston Martin’s satisfaction to show a defect in materials or workmanship within the applicable period.
