Porsche extends the new car warranty period by 3 months (applicable cars only)

Response to the effects of coronavirus

On April 30, 2020, Porsche announced that it would extend the new car warranty for the following eligible vehicles by three months.

• Vehicles whose new vehicle warranty expires between March 1st and May 31st, 2020
• After the new car warranty expires, the car that is also covered by the Porsche certified warranty (within the above period)

There is a statement that this correspondence will be provided worldwide, so it seems that it will be treated in the same way in Japan.

* At this stage (May 1, 2020), the press release was only announced in English, and it was "This measure is free of charge for customers and is valid worldwide." Please contact each Porsche Center for confirmation).

The response to extend this Porsche new car warranty for 3 months free of charge is because the service provision at each Porsche center was significantly restricted from March 2020 due to the influence of the coronavirus.

According to Daniel Schukraft, head of the after-sales division of Porsche AG, the target customers do not have to do anything special for this three-month warranty extension, and the warranty extension of the target car Is automatically extended by each Porsche Center.

You said, "The expiration date of the new warranty period is calculated from the end of the current period." What does that mean? Just in case, if you look at an example ...

• If the new car warranty expires on March 20, 2020, the expiration date will be June 20, 2020 after the three-month free extension.

• For vehicles that expire on May 15, 2020, the expiration date after the three-month extension is applied is until August 15, 2020.

…I see.

In other words, it is simply extended by 3 months from the date when the new car warranty of your car expires (but the target person will expire from March 1, 2020 to May 2020). Please note that it is only for 30 days).
