Warranty

At Mitsubishi, we are so confident in the quality, reliability and durability of the cars we build that we are backing all of our passenger cars and sport-utility vehicles with our very extensive warranties. This list is headed by a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty*; a 5-year/60,000-mile, fully transferable, Bumper-to-Bumper New Vehicle Limited Warranty; a 7-year/100,000-mile Anti-Corrosion/Perforation Limited Warranty and 5-year/Unlimited-miles Roadside Assistance. So now, when you drive off in your new Mitsubishi, you'll leave with even more peace of mind, knowing you can enjoy it to the fullest for many years to come.

For further 2009 warranty details, click here.

*See retailer for limited warranty and roadside assistance terms and conditions.

**The 10-year/100,000 mile Powertrain Limited Warranty applies only to the original owner of new, retailed 2008 models purchased from an authorizedMitsubishi dealer. Subsequent owners receive the balance of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty of 5 years/60,000 miles. See retailer for limited warranty and roadside assistance terms and conditions.

†Airbags can cause serious injury or death to anyone too close to an air bag when it deploys. To decrease the risk of injury from a deploying air bag, all occupants must be properly restrained and seated well back, upright and in the middle of the seat. Do not lean against the door. Always place children 12 and under in the rear seat and use appropriate child restraints. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat. See your owner's manual and instructions provided with your child restraint for more information.
