Modifications. 

The Warranty does not cover any part that was not on the vehicle when it left the manufacturing plant or is not certified for use on the vehicle. Nor does it cover the costs of any repairs or adjustments that might be caused or needed because of the installation or use of non-FCA US LLC parts, components, equipment, materials, or additives. 

Non-FCA US LLC parts can also indirectly impact other parts or related safety systems, otherwise covered under the Warranty. Performance or racing parts are considered to be non-FCA US LLC parts. Repairs or adjustments caused by their use are not covered under the Warranty. 


These actions will void the Warranty: 

  • Disconnecting, tampering with, or altering the odometer, unless the repairing technician follows any legal requirements for repairing or replacing odometers. 
  • Attaching any device that disconnects the odometer.
  • Attaching any performance or racing parts (incl. FCA US LLC parts). 
  • Altering the vehicle software calibrations (i.e., Engine tuning). 


Environmental and external factors 

The Warranty does not cover defects or damages to the vehicle which are the direct or indirect result of any external factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: 


Damage caused by environmental factors such as: 

  • airborne fallout,
  • bird droppings, 
  • insect damage, 
  • chemicals,
  • tree sap,
  • salt,
  • ocean spray,
  • acid rain,
  • and road hazards.


Damage caused by weather conditions such as: 

  • hailstorms,
  • windstorms,
  • tornadoes,
  • sandstorms,
  • lightning,
  • floods, and
  • earthquakes. 


Damage caused by other external factors resulting in: 

  • cracks and chips in glass,
  • scratches and chips in painted surfaces, or 
  • damage from collision. 


Maintenance and wear & tear 

The Warranty does not cover the costs of repairing damage caused by poor or improper maintenance. Nor does it cover damage caused by the use of contaminated fuels, or using fuels, oils, lubricants, cleaners or fluids other than those recommended in the Owner’s Manual. The Warranty does not cover the costs for vehicle’s normal or scheduled maintenance — the parts and services that all vehicles routinely need. 

Some of these parts and services which the Warranty does not cover include:

  • Lubrication
  • Consumable fluids
  • Engine tune-ups
  • Replacing filters, coolant, spark plugs, or fuses
  • Cleaning and polishing
  • Replacing worn wiper blades
  • Worn brake rotors/drums, worn brake pads and linings
  • Clutch linings
  • Tires
  • Batteries including hybrid batteries 


Racing, track events and off-road driving 

The Warranty does not cover the costs of repairing damage or conditions caused by racing, track events and/or off-road driving, or any similar endeavor. Nor does it cover the repair of any defects that are found as the result of participating in a racing, track event and or off-road driving. 


Other exclusions 

  • The Warranty does not cover the costs of repairing damage or conditions caused by any of the following: 
  • Fire or accident
  • Abuse or negligence
  • Misuse — for example, driving over curbs or overloading 
  • Tampering with the emission systems, or with a part that could affect the emission systems
  • Use of used parts (however, authorized FCA US LLC/Mopar remanufactured parts are covered)
  • Windshield or rear window damage from external objects

  • Using any fluid that does not meet the minimum recommendations in customer Owner's Manual 


Restricted Warranty 

KW Auto may restrict the Warranty on the vehicle if the vehicle is not properly maintained according to the Owner’s manual, or if the vehicle is abused or neglected, and the abuse or neglect interferes with the proper functioning of the vehicle. 


Campaigns & recalls 

Campaigns and recalls are not covered by the vehicle Warranty and are at the discretion of FCA US LLC. 


Corrosion 

Corrosion is not covered under the Warranty. 


Service and maintenance 

Service and maintenance must be performed according to the Dodge and RAM service plan and intervals for repair to be covered by KW Warranty. Service documentation must be available, and the vehicles service mileage must conform to the Dodge and RAM service plan. 


Tuned vehicles and non-original performance parts 

Damage caused by tuning, engine software tuning and high-performance parts or racing parts are not covered by the Warranty. Damage caused by non-original wheels and tires, suspension kits, lowering kits and performance exhaust systems are not covered by the Warranty. All non-original kits or accessories parts fitted to the vehicle are not covered by KW Warranty.
