In addition to the guarantees and warranties in the purchase agreement for new vehicles, authorised Volkswagen repairers also fulfil
the guarantee that exists in many countries that no paint defects or corrosion perforation will occur on the body for a certain period of
time.
Depending on country, the following periods apply:
—A three-year guarantee against paint defects.
—A twelve-year guarantee against corrosion perforation. Here, corrosion perforation refers to rust forming on the inside (cavity) of the
body and causing holes in the sheet metal.
If such damage occurs nevertheless, it will be repaired free of charge for parts and labour by any authorised Volkswagen repairer.
Guarantee exclusion
Details of the guarantee cover can be found in the guarantee conditions applicable to your vehicle in your country.
The guarantee does not cover the following:
—Damage caused by external influence or insufficient care.
—Imperfections on the body or paintwork which are not repaired promptly according to manufacturer specifications.
—Corrosion perforation that is directly related to body repairs not being carried out according to manufacturer specifications.
If the body is repaired or painted, your authorised Volkswagen repairer will confirm your warranty against corrosion perforation for the
repaired area.
