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. There are two types of damage: • If corrosion causes perforation (holes) in the body sheet metal, coverage lasts for five years, regardless of the miles driven. • If corrosion does not cause holes - and is not the result of usage and/or environmental conditions - coverage lasts for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. For damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout) - where there is no factory-related defect involved and therefore no warranty our policy is to cover paint damage due to airborne material for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first. 7
