Warranty for the paintwork and body
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealerships provide a warranty for the paintwork and bodies of all vehicles
purchased from them.
In addition to the warranty conditions for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles straight from the factory(as detailed in
the purchase contract), Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle dealerships guarantee that the body of vehicles they sell will
not be affected by paint defects or corrosion perforation for a specified period:
—a three-year warranty on paint defects and
—a twelve-year corrosion perforation warranty. Here, corrosion perforation refers to rust forming on the inside
(cavity) of the body and causing holes in the sheet metal.
However, if damage of this kind should occur, every Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership must rectify it
through repair work without charging labour and material costs.
The warranty does not cover the following:
—Damage caused by external influence or insufficient care.
—Faults on the body or paintwork which are not repaired quickly enough according to manufacturer regulations.
—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 Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership will confirm your warranty
against corrosion perforation for the repaired area.
