Parts to check in a Canyon plan
- Turbocharger and superchargerThe turbocharger or supercharger housing and internal parts, the wastegate actuator and, on higher tiers, the intercooler.
- EngineThe engine block, cylinder heads and the internally lubricated parts inside them: pistons, crankshaft, camshafts, timing chain, oil pump and valve train.
- TransmissionThe transmission case and internal parts, the torque converter, valve body and, on most plans, the transmission control module. Automatic, manual, CVT and dual-clutch units are all eligible.
How much factory warranty is left on your Canyon?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
GMC Canyon factory warranty
New GMC vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a GMC dealer.
Why body style matters
Pickups are often used to tow and haul, which loads the transmission, transfer case, differentials and cooling system. Four-wheel-drive hardware adds more parts. If you use the truck for work, check that the plan allows commercial use.
Turbocharged engine
A turbocharger spins at very high speed and runs hot. Turbo failure, wastegate and boost-control faults, intercooler leaks and carbon build-up on direct-injection engines are the common problems. Check that the turbocharger is named in the contract, because some basic powertrain plans leave it out.
About GMC
GMC trucks and SUVs share their mechanical parts with Chevrolet but often add air suspension, power-retracting steps and premium electronics, particularly in Denali trims. Those extras are not powertrain items.
