WARRANTY AND ASSISTANCE
A comprehensive manufacturer's warranty is a feature of every Land Rover vehicle. Find out what's covered, what your responsibilities are and what benefits you can expect if you need to call on it.
Owner's Responsibilities
Your owner's handbook and service portfolio describe the proper care of your vehicle. Make sure that all the required maintenance is performed, including regular cleaning of bodywork, and that the materials used meet Land Rover engineering specifications.
Service Requirements
Routine services must be carried out throughout the life of the vehicle. Traditionally, a service would be due after a vehicle has reached a certain mileage or elapsed time. The Flexible Service on your vehicle takes into account individual driving styles and conditions to determine when a service is due.
Your vehicle is fitted with a service interval indicator in the instrument panel. When a service is due, and when the ignition is switched on, the relevant service message and estimated distance to the next service is displayed.
On completion of a service, the instrument panel countdown feature is reset.
Anti - Corrosion Warranty
Should any part of the bodywork of the vehicle be perforated by rust corrosion, the panels affected by the perforation will be repaired or replaced by any Land Rover retailer/Authorised Repairer, completely free of charge, regardless of any change in vehicle ownership.
The anti-corrosion warranty begins at the same time as the vehicle warranty and continues for a period of six years.
The term 'perforation' means a hole that penetrates through the bodywork caused by corrosion from the inside or underside as a result of faulty manufacture or materials.
Making a Claim
If you wish to make a claim on the warranty, visit your Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer and have the service portfolio available. In the vast majority of cases the Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer will be able to carry out the repair immediately. However, you should note that occasionally the nature of the repair may require the Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer to obtain authority from Land Rover before proceeding.
Warranty Cover When Touring
Land Rover has a comprehensive service network in most parts of the world. Any Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer can carry out repairs under the Land Rover Warranty. Under normal circumstances, you should not be required to pay for any warranty work at the time it is performed by a Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer.
When touring, it is your responsibility to produce the service portfolio issued with your vehicle (which establishes your right to warranty coverage and the relevant maintenance and service materials). If you are unable do so, the Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer should seek advice from Land Rover or the local importer or national sales company.
Under exceptional circumstances, you may be asked to pay for repairs that are in fact covered by the Land Rover warranty. If so, you should retain the invoice and, where practical, any replaced parts so that upon your return home your local Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer can arrange for prompt reimbursement as appropriate.

VEHICLE WARRANTY
Should any part of the vehicle require repair or replacement as a result of a manufacturing defect, the part will be repaired or replaced completely free of charge by any Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer, regardless of any change of vehicle ownership during the period of cover.
Tyre defects are covered separately by the tyre manufacturer. However, your Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer will assist you with any tyre claim.
The vehicle warranty starts on the day that the vehicle is delivered to the first retail customer and continues for three years 100,000 km.
Note that only genuine Land Rover accessories fitted by a Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer, within 1 month/1,600 km (whichever occurs first) of the handover of a new vehicle will benefit from the same warranty terms and period of cover as the new vehicle warranty.
