1. Your Legal Rights Under These Limited Warranties
The warranties contained in this booklet are the only express warranties that Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) makes for your vehicle. These warranties give you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state. For example, you may have some implied warranties, depending on the state where your vehicle was sold or is registered.
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time periods covered by the express written warranties contained in this booklet.
If you use your vehicle primarily for business or commercial purposes, then these implied warranties do not apply and Chrysler completely disclaims them to the extent allowed by law. And the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose does not apply if your vehicle is used for racing, even if the vehicle is equipped for racing.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
1.1 Incidental and Consequential Damages Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover any incidental or consequential damages connected with your vehicle’s failure, either while under warranty or afterward.
Examples of such damages include:
- lost time;
- inconvenience;
- the loss of the use of your vehicle;
- the cost of rental vehicles, gasoline, telephone, travel, or lodging;
- the loss of personal or commercial property; and
- the loss of revenue.
Some states don’t allow incidental or consequential damages to be excluded or limited, so this exclusion may not apply to you.
2. What’s Covered Under Chrysler Group LLC’s Warranties
2.1 Basic Limited Warranty
A. Who Is Covered?
You are covered by the Basic Limited Warranty if you are a purchaser for use of the vehicle.
B. What’s Covered
The Basic Limited Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair any item on your vehicle when it left the manufacturing plant that is defective in material, workmanship or factory preparation. There is no list of covered parts since the only exception are tires and unwired headphones. You pay nothing for these repairs. These warranty repairs or adjustments — including all parts and labor connected with them — will be made by your dealer at no charge, using new or remanufactured parts.
C. Items Covered by Other Warranties
The following are covered by separate warranties offered by their makers. They are not covered by the Basic Limited Warranty:
- tires;
- Unwired headphones; or
- items added or changed after your vehicle left the manufacturing plant, such as accessories or protection products, or items changed because of customization or van conversion.
D. Towing Costs Are Covered Under Certain Circumstances
The Basic Limited Warranty covers the cost of towing your vehicle to the nearest Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer if your vehicle can’t be driven because a covered part has failed. If you choose to go to another dealership, you will be responsible for the cost if the extra distance exceeds 10 miles. See Section 6.2 for information on how to get towing service in the United States and Canada.
E. When It Begins
The Basic Limited Warranty begins on either of the following dates, whichever is earlier:
- the date you take delivery of the vehicle; or
- the date when the vehicle was first put into service for example, as a dealer "demo" or as a Chrysler company vehicle.
F. When It Ends
The Basic Limited Warranty lasts for 36 months from the date it begins or for 36,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first. But the following items are covered only for 12 months or for 12,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first:
- brakes (rotors, pads, linings, and drums);
- wiper blades;
- clutch discs or modular clutch assembly (as equipped);
- windshield and rear window; and
- wheel alignment and wheel balancing
G. Registration and Operation Requirements
The Basic Limited Warranty covers your vehicle only if:
- it was built for sale in the U.S.;
- it’s registered in the U.S.;
- it’s driven mainly in the U.S. or Canada; and
- it’s operated and maintained in the manner described in your Owner’s Manual.
H. If Your Vehicle Leaves the United States (We Include U.S. Possessions and Territories as Part of the United States for Warranty Purposes):
EXCEPT WHERE SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED BY LAW, THERE IS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THIS VEHICLE IF IT IS SOLD IN OR REGISTERED IN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES.
This policy does not apply to vehicles that have received authorization for export from Chrysler. Dealers may not give authorization for export. You should consult an authorized dealer to determine this vehicle’s warranty coverage if you have any questions.
This policy does not apply to vehicles registered to U.S. government officials or military personnel on assignment outside of the United States.
2.2 Corrosion Warranty
A. Who Is Covered?
You are covered if you are a purchaser for use of the vehicle.
B. What's Covered
This warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair or replace any sheet metal panels that get holes from rust or other corrosion. If a hole occurs because of something other than corrosion, this warranty does not apply. Cosmetic or surface corrosion resulting, for example, from stone chips or scratches in the paint - is not covered. For more details on what isn't covered by this warranty, see 3.5.
C. How Long It Lasts
The Corrosion Warranty starts when your Basic Limited Warranty begins under 2.1(E). This warranty has two time-and-mileage limits:
- For sheet metal panels, the limit is 36 months, with no mileage limit.
- For an outer-body sheet metal panel — one that is finish-painted and that someone can see when walking around the vehicle — the limits are 5 years or 100,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first.
2.3 Restraint System Limited Warranty (Vehicles sold and registered in the State of Kansas only)
For vehicles sold and registered in the State of Kansas, seatbelts and related seatbelt components are warranted against defects in workmanship and materials for 10 years, regardless of mileage. This warranty does not cover replacement of seatbelts and related components required as the result of collision.
2.4 Powertrain Limited Warranty
A. Who Is Covered?
You are covered by the Powertrain Limited Warranty if you are a purchaser for use of the vehicle.
B. What’s Covered
The Powertrain Limited Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair a powertrain component listed in section 2.4.E below that is defective in workmanship and materials.
C. How Long It Lasts
The Powertrain Limited Warranty lasts for up to 5 years or 100,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first, calculated from the start date of the Basic Limited Warranty, as set forth in Section 2.1(E).
D. Towing Costs Are Covered
The Powertrain Limited Warranty covers the cost of towing your vehicle to the nearest authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer if your vehicle cannot be driven because a covered part has failed.
If you choose to go to another dealership, you will be responsible for the cost if the extra distance exceeds 10 miles. See Section 6.2 for information on how to get towing service in the United States and Canada.

3. What’s Not Covered
3.1 Modifications Not Covered
A. Some Modifications Don’t Void the Warranties But Aren’t Covered
Certain changes that you might make to your vehicle do not, by themselves, void the warranties described in this booklet. Examples of some of these changes are:
- installing non-Chrysler Group LLC ("Chrysler") parts, components, or equipment (such as a non-Chrysler radio or speed control); and
- using special non-Chrysler materials or additives.
But your warranties don’t cover any part that was not on your vehicle when it left the manufacturing plant or is not certified for use on your vehicle. Nor do they cover the costs of any repairs or adjustments that might be caused or needed because of the installation or use of non-Chrysler parts, components, equipment, materials, or additives.
Performance or racing parts are considered to be non-Chrysler parts. Repairs or adjustments caused by their use are not covered under your warranties.
Examples of the types of alterations not covered are:
- installing accessories — except for genuine Chrysler / MOPAR accessories installed by an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer;
- applying rustproofing or other protection products;
- changing the vehicle’s configuration or dimensions, such as converting the vehicle into a limousine or food service vehicle; or
- using any refrigerant that Chrysler has not approved.
B. Modifications That WILL Void Your Warranties
These actions will void your warranties:
- disconnecting, tampering with, or altering the odometer will void your warranties, unless your repairing technician follows the legal requirements for repairing or replacing odometers; or
- attaching any device that disconnects the odometer will also void your warranties.
3.2 Environmental Factors Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover damage caused by environmental factors such as airborne fallout, bird droppings, insect damage, chemicals, tree sap, salt, ocean spray, acid rain, and road hazards. Nor do your warranties cover damage caused by hailstorms, windstorms, tornadoes, sandstorms, lightning, floods, and earthquakes.
Your warranties do not cover conditions resulting from anything impacting the vehicle. This includes cracks and chips in glass, scratches and chips in painted surfaces, or damage from collision.
3.3 Maintenance Costs Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover the costs of repairing damage caused by poor or improper maintenance. Nor do they cover damage caused by the use of contaminated fuels, or by the use of fuels, oils, lubricants, cleaners or fluids other than those recommended in your Owner’s Manual.
The warranties don’t cover the costs of your vehicle’s normal or scheduled maintenance — the parts and services that all vehicles routinely need. Some of these parts and services, which your warranties don’t cover, include:
- lubrication;
- engine tune-ups;
- replacing filters, coolant, spark plugs, bulbs, or fuses (unless those costs result from a covered repair);
- cleaning and polishing; and
- replacing worn wiper blades, worn brake pads and linings, or clutch linings.
3.4 Racing Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover the costs of repairing damage or conditions caused by racing, nor do they cover the repair of any defects that are found as the result of participating in a racing event.
3.5 Certain Kinds of Corrosion Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover the following:
- corrosion caused by accident, damage, abuse, or vehicle alteration;
- surface corrosion caused by such things as industrial fallout, sand, salt, hail, ocean spray, and stones;
- corrosion caused by the extensive or abnormal transport of caustic materials like chemicals, acids, and fertilizers; and
- corrosion of special bodies, body conversions, or equipment that was not on your vehicle when it left the manufacturing plant or was not supplied by Chrysler.
3.6 Other Exclusions
Your warranties don’t cover the costs of repairing damage or conditions caused by any of the following:
- fire or accident;
- abuse or negligence;
- misuse — for example, driving over curbs or overloading;
- tampering with the emission systems, or with a part that could affect the emission systems;
- use of used parts, even if they were originally supplied by Chrysler (however, authorized Chrysler / MOPAR remanufactured parts are covered);
- windshield or rear window damage from external objects;
- any changes made to your vehicle that don’t comply with Chrysler; or
- using any fluid that doesn’t meet the minimum recommendations in your Owner’s Manual.
3.7 Total Loss, Salvage, Junk, or Scrap Vehicles Not Covered
A vehicle has no warranty coverage of any kind if:
- the vehicle is declared to be a total loss by an insurance company;
- the vehicle is rebuilt after being declared to be a total loss by an insurance company; or
- the vehicle is issued a certificate of title indicating that it is designated as “salvage,” “junk,” “rebuilt,” “scrap,” or some similar word.
Chrysler will deny warranty coverage without notice if it learns that a vehicle is ineligible for coverage for any of these reasons.
3.8 Restricted Warranty
Your warranties can also be restricted by Chrysler. Chrysler may restrict the warranty on your vehicle if the vehicle is not properly maintained, or if the vehicle is abused or neglected, and the abuse or neglect interferes with the proper functioning of the vehicle. If the warranty is restricted, coverage may be denied or subject to approval by Chrysler before covered repairs are performed.
4. Other Terms of Your Warranties
4.1 Exchanged Parts May Be Used in Warranty Repairs
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) may offer exchange service on some vehicle parts. This service is intended to reduce the amount of time your vehicle is not available for your use because of repairs. Parts used in exchange service may be new, remanufactured, reconditioned, or repaired, depending on the part involved.
All exchange parts that might be used meet Chrysler standards, and have the same warranties as new parts.
Examples of the kinds of parts that might be serviced in this way are:
- engine assemblies;
- transmission assemblies;
- instrument cluster assemblies;
- radios, tape, CD and DVD players;
- speedometers; and
- powertrain control modules.
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, the EPA requires the capture, purification, and reuse of automotive air-conditioning refrigerant gases. As a result, a repair to the sealed portion of your air-conditioning system may involve the installation of purified reclaimed refrigerant.
4.2 Pre-Delivery Service
A defect in or damage to the mechanical, electrical, sheet-metal, paint, trim, and other components of your vehicle may have occurred at the factory or while it was being shipped to the dealer. Such a defect or damage is usually detected and corrected at the factory. In addition, dealers must inspect each vehicle before delivery. They repair any defects or damage detected before the vehicle is delivered to you.
4.3 Production Changes
Changes may be made in vehicles sold by Chrysler and its dealers at any time without incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes on vehicles previously built or sold.

6. How to Get Warranty Service
6.1 Where to Take Your Vehicle
A. In the United States (We Include U.S. Possessions and Territories as Part of the United States for Warranty Purposes):
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer. We strongly recommend that you take your vehicle to your Selling Dealer. They know you and your vehicle best, and are most concerned that you get prompt and high quality service. If you move within the United States, warranty service may be requested from any authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer.
B. In Canada and Mexico:
If you are traveling temporarily in Canada or Mexico, and your vehicle remains registered in the United States, your Chrysler warranty still applies. Service may be requested at any authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealership.
C. In a Foreign Country Outside of North America:
If you are traveling temporarily outside of North America, and your vehicle remains registered in the United States:
- You should take your vehicle to an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer. They should give you the same warranty service you receive in the United States.
If the authorized dealership charges you for repairs which you feel should be covered under your warranty, please get a detailed receipt for the work done. Make sure that this receipt lists all warranty repairs and parts that were involved. (This receipt will be similar to the one used by the dealer who normally services your vehicle.)
When your vehicle returns to the United States, contact the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center (section 7.2) for reimbursement consideration. You will normally need to provide a copy of the receipt, your vehicle registration and any other relevant documents.
Reimbursement will not be considered if the vehicle does not return to the United States.
D. If You Move:
If you move to another country, be sure to contact the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center (section 7.2) and the customs department of the destination country before you move. Vehicle importation rules vary considerably from country to country. You may be required to present documentation of your move to Chrysler in order to continue your warranty coverage. You may also be required to obtain documentation from Chrysler in order to register your vehicle in your new country.
6.2 How To Get Tow Service - U.S. or Canada Only *
A. What To Do:
If your vehicle requires towing due to a defect covered under the Basic Limited Warranty or Powertrain Limited Warranty, dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779. Provide your name, vehicle identification number, license plate number, and your location, including the telephone number from which you are calling. Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
* Towing services provided through Cross Country Motor Club, Inc., Medford, MA 02155, except in AK, CA, HI, OR, WI, and WY, where services are provided by Cross Country Motor Club of California, Inc., Medford,, MA 02155.
You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival. If you feel you are in an unsafe situation, please let us know. With your consent, we will contact local police or safety authorities.
B. If Unable to Contact 24-Hour Towing Assistance:
If you are unable to contact 24-Hour Towing Assistance and you obtain towing services on your own, you may submit your original receipts from the licensed towing or service facility, for services rendered within 30 days of the occurrence. Be sure to include your vehicle identification number, odometer mileage at the time of service and current mailing address. We will process the claim based on vehicle and service eligibility. If eligible, we will reimburse you for the reasonable amounts you actually paid, based on the usual and customary charges for that service in the area where they were provided. Chrysler Group LLC’s determination relating to reimbursement are final. Correspondence should be mailed to:
Chrysler Towing Assistance
P.O. Box 9145
Medford, MA 02155
Attention: Claims Department
6.3 Emergency Warranty Repairs
If you have an emergency and have to get a warranty repair made by someone other than an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer, follow the reimbursement procedure in 6.1(C).
6.4 Getting Service Under the Federal Emission Performance Warranties
A. What to Do
If your vehicle has failed an emissions test described in 5.2:
- Take it to an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer as soon as possible.
- Give the service representative the printout showing that your vehicle failed the test.
- If possible, bring all service receipts, maintenance logs, and records proving that your vehicle has been properly maintained, since you may be required to show them.
B. Further Steps You Can Take, and How to Get More Information
If you think your dealer has wrongly denied you emission-warranty coverage, follow the steps described in 7.1. Chrysler will reply to you in writing within 30 days after receiving your complaint (or within the time limit required by local or state law). If the owner is not notified within 30 days that a performance warranty claim is denied, the manufacturer must repair the vehicle free of charge.
If you want more information about getting service under the Federal Emission Warranty or the Performance Warranty, or if you want to report what you think is a violation of these warranties, you can contact:

7. How to Deal with Warranty Problems
7.1 Steps to Take
A. In General
Normally, warranty problems can be resolved by your dealer’s sales or service departments. That’s why you should always talk to your dealer’s service manager or sales manager first. But if you’re not satisfied with your dealer’s response to your problem, Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) recommends that you do the following:
Step 1: Discuss your problem with the owner or general manager of the dealership.
Step 2: If your dealership still can’t resolve the problem, contact the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center. You’ll find the address in section 7.2.
B. What Chrysler Will Do
Once you have followed the two steps described in 7.1(A), a Chrysler representative at Chrysler headquarters will review your situation. If it’s something that Chrysler can help you with, Chrysler will provide your dealer with all the information and assistance necessary to resolve the problem. Even if Chrysler can’t help you, Chrysler will acknowledge your contact and explain Chrysler’s position.
C. If Your Problem Still Isn’t Resolved For Customers Residing in Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky and Minnesota ONLY:
(NOTE: This Process is not available for residents of other states.)
If you can’t resolve your warranty problem after following the two steps described in 7.1(A), and you live in Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky or Minnesota ONLY, you can contact the Chrysler Group LLC Customer Arbitration Process in your area.
You may obtain a brochure describing Chrysler Group LLC’s Customer Arbitration Process, including an application, by calling (866) 726-4636.

The CAP does not review disputes involving the sale of a new or used vehicle, personal injury/property damage claims, disputes relating to design of the vehicle or part, or disputes which are already the subject of litigation.
The CAP will need the following information from you: 1) Legible copies of all documents and repair orders relevant to your case, 2) Vehicle identification number of your vehicle, 3) A brief description of your unresolved concern, 4) The identity of your servicing / selling dealer, 5) The date(s) of repair(s) and mileage at the time, 6) Current mileage, and 7) A description of the action you expect to resolve your concern.
Upon receipt of your request:
- The National Center for Dispute Settlement (NCDS) will acknowledge receipt of your request, by mail, within ten (10) days, and advise you whether or not your dispute is within the jurisdiction of the Process.
- When your request is within jurisdiction NCDS will request Chrysler and the dealer to present their side of the dispute. You will receive copies of their responses.
- While your dispute is pending NCDS or Chrysler may contact you to see if your case can be settled by agreement. If a settlement is offered to you, Chrysler will ask you to sign a form that contains that settlement. Your case will then be closed. There is no requirement for you to participate in this settlement process.
- If you requested an oral hearing, a decision-maker will contact you to arrange a convenient time and place for a hearing. Usually, this will be at a dealership near you.
- If you request a documents-only review, an NCDS panel will review and decide your case. Neither you, the dealer nor Chrysler need be present.
- NCDS will send you a written Statement of Decision. This statement will include the decision, any action to be taken by the dealer or Chrysler and the time by which the action must be taken. The decision will be binding on the dealer and Chrysler but not on you unless you accept the decision.
- If any action is required on the part of the dealer or Chrysler you will be contacted within ten (10) days after the date by which the dealer or Chrysler must act to determine whether performance has been rendered.
- The entire dispute settlement process will normally take no longer than 40 days.
The CAP dispute settlement procedure does not take the place of any state or Federal legal remedies available to you. Whether or not you decide to submit your dispute to the Process, you are free to pursue other legal remedies.
D. Notice Under State Lemon Laws
Some states have laws allowing you to get a replacement vehicle or a refund of the vehicle's purchase price under certain circumstances. These laws vary from state to state. If your state law allows, Chrysler requires that you first notify us in writing of any service difficulty that you may have experienced so that we can have a chance to make any needed repairs before you are eligible for remedies provided by these laws.

8. Optional Service Contract
Chrysler Group LLC's or Chrysler Service Contract Company LLC's optional service contracts offer valuable protection against repair costs when these warranties don't apply. They compliment but don't replace the warranty coverages outlined in this booklet. Several plans are available, covering various time-and-mileage periods and various sets of components. (Service contracts aren't available if you live in a U.S. possession or territory.) Ask your dealer for details.
9. Maintenance
9.1 General Information
It’s your responsibility to properly maintain and operate your new vehicle. Follow the instructions contained in the General and Scheduled Maintenance Service guidelines in your Owner’s Manual. Regular, scheduled maintenance is essential to trouble-free operation. If there is a dispute between you and Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) concerning your maintenance of your vehicle, Chrysler will require you to provide proof that your vehicle was properly maintained.
For your convenience, Chrysler has prepared a Maintenance Log which is included in your Owner’s Manual. You should use this Maintenance Log to keep track of scheduled maintenance, either by routinely having the repairs entered in your Maintenance Log, or by keeping receipts or other documentation of work you’ve had done on your vehicle in your Maintenance Log.
9.2 Where To Go For Maintenance
Chrysler recommends that you return to the dealer from whom you bought your vehicle for all maintenance service both during and after the warranty periods. Although you can get warranty service from any dealer who sells your particular make, returning to your selling dealer will help ensure that all your service needs are met and that you’re completely satisfied. The dealership technicians are specifically trained to proficiently perform maintenance and repair procedures on your Chrysler Group LLC vehicle.
Authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealers will help ensure that all your service needs are met and that you're completely satisfied. Chrysler strongly recommends you use genuine Chrysler / MOPAR parts to maintain your vehicle.
