Short answer: Every new Nissan comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic (bumper-to-bumper) limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, whichever comes first. Electric-vehicle batteries (LEAF, Ariya) carry a separate 8-year/100,000-mile warranty, plus additional corrosion coverage.

What the Nissan Factory Warranty Covers
Your new-vehicle warranty is made up of several separate coverages, each with its own length:
- Basic (bumper-to-bumper) — 3 years / 36,000 miles. Covers most components against defects in materials or workmanship.
- Powertrain — 5 years / 60,000 miles. Covers the engine, transmission/transaxle, and drivetrain.
- EV components (LEAF, Ariya) — 8 years / 100,000 miles. Covers the lithium-ion battery.
- Federal emissions components carry their own coverage periods.
For the exact coverage on your specific vehicle, check your VIN — terms can vary by model year.

When Does the Nissan Factory Warranty End?
For most Nissan owners, the basic bumper-to-bumper coverage is the first to expire — at 3 years or 36,000 miles. Powertrain protection continues to 5 years/60,000 miles. (The Nissan Titan and NV Series Van come with a 60-month or 100,000-mile warranty. The GT-R warranty period is 3 years or 36,000 miles.) After that, repairs come out of your pocket unless you've added extended coverage. Because many systems — from the engine and transmission to electronics, A/C, and ADAS — can be expensive to repair, adding a Nissan Security+Plus plan makes financial sense.
What About Warranty Extensions?
On certain vehicles and components, Nissan has issued warranty extensions beyond the standard terms (for example, specific powertrain components on certain model years). These are administered by Nissan USA — to find out whether your specific VIN qualifies, contact Nissan USA or your local Nissan dealer. Our extended coverage options explain how a Security+Plus plan continues protection after factory coverage ends.
What to Do When the Factory Warranty Ends
A Nissan Security+Plus Extended Protection Plan continues factory-backed coverage after your new-vehicle warranty expires — covered repairs done at any authorized Nissan dealer with genuine Nissan parts. It's designed to be added while your vehicle still qualifies, so there's no gap in protection.
