Mazda rolls out unlimited mileage warranty in Canada

[enzo1]

Cold weather might be starting to grip parts of Canada, but our neighbors to the north are going to be able to drive their 2015 Mazda cars and utilities from Vancouver to Montreal with a little more peace of mind. That's because Mazda Canada is instituting an unlimited mileage warranty for its new models.

The updated plan starts with all 2015 model year vehicles (even those already sold), and the scheme simply removes that distance limit on everything but the emissions defect coverage. That means that the Mazdas have one year of service adjustments, three years of new vehicle coverage, five years on the powertrain, seven years against corrosion and three years of roadside assistance for as many kilometers as the owner drives.

The change removes at least one, tiny piece of anxiety about buying a new vehicle because it's easy to know when the coverage ends. "By offering our customers an Unlimited Mileage Warranty, we believe it will enhance their ownership experience by alleviating concerns such as kilometre limitations, repair costs and resale value," Kory Koreeda, president of Mazda Canada, in the automaker's announcement.

Autoblog spoke to Mazda spokesperson Nick Beard to ask about any changes to the automaker's warranty in the US. He told us, "We're sticking with our current warranty."

It seems like it would be good pr move without much chance of it biting them.

With gas at the current price, most people around here are driving less than 20k miles a year. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm You will get a couple of outliers who push to get the most mileage within the warranty period but I think most people will drive around 10-15k miles a year which is less than 110,000 miles on the longest covered warranty period of 7 years.

Wife put 20k a year on her MPV, and is putting 20k a year on her CX-9.

certainly original owner only and no fleet use... Otherwise it would be a disaster.
