Are Mercedes-Benz Parts Covered Under Warranty?
Yes—Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and accessories are backed by a Mercedes-Benz Parts Limited Warranty. Coverage terms depend on the part type and how it’s installed. Below, we explain what’s generally covered, how labor coverage works when installed by an authorized dealer, common exclusions, and how to verify exact coverage for your vehicle and part number.
Mercedes-Benz Parts Limited Warranty: The Basics
- Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts: New OEM parts purchased from and installed by an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer are typically covered by a limited parts warranty, with labor coverage for the warranty repair when installed by the dealer.
- Over-the-counter purchases: Parts purchased from the parts counter but installed elsewhere generally carry parts coverage only (no labor). Keep your receipt and part number for any claim.
- Accessories: Genuine Mercedes-Benz accessories purchased from the dealer are covered under a limited accessory warranty; installation at the dealership may provide labor coverage for eligible items.
- Remanufactured components: Mercedes-Benz remanufactured engines, transmissions, and other assemblies feature limited warranty coverage specific to each component line.
- Batteries & tires: 12-V batteries and tires have their own warranty terms. Tires are typically covered by the tire manufacturer; battery coverage varies by model and battery type.
What Usually Isn’t Covered
- Wear items consumed in normal use (e.g., brake pads or wiper blades) beyond workmanship/material defects
- Damage from improper installation, misuse, racing, or accident/impact
- Failures caused by non-genuine parts or unauthorized modifications
- Environmental damage (contamination, corrosion from road chemicals) not due to part defects
Parts Warranty vs. Vehicle Warranty
- New Vehicle Limited Warranty: Covers factory-installed components for a defined time/mileage from the in-service date.
- Certified Pre-Owned Warranty: Extends coverage on eligible CPO vehicles; part failures may be addressed under CPO terms.
- Parts Limited Warranty: Applies to the specific purchased part; timing begins on the parts purchase/installation date.
Emissions & California Coverage Notes
Select emissions-related components may be covered under Federal or California emissions warranties that can exceed standard parts warranty durations. Coverage varies by model year, engine family, and component. Our team will verify eligibility by VIN.
How to Confirm Your Coverage
- Provide your VIN and the part number to our team—we’ll check official Mercedes-Benz documentation for exact terms.
- Share your proof of purchase/installation date; parts warranty periods typically start on that date.
- Ask about labor coverage—dealer installation often enables labor coverage on eligible parts if a warranty repair is required.
