Corrosion Coverage Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Corrosion Coverage begins at the Warranty Start Date and covers body sheet metal panels against corrosion due to a defect in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. The coverage period for corrosion depends on the type of damage that occurs.
