- 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 GLA?
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.
Mercedes-Benz GLA factory warranty
New Mercedes-Benz vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 4 years or 50,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 4 years or 50,000 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 Mercedes-Benz dealer.
Why body style matters
SUVs carry more weight than cars and many have all-wheel drive, which adds a transfer case or coupling, a rear differential and extra axle shafts. Power liftgates, third-row climate control and panoramic roofs add electrical parts that sit outside powertrain coverage.
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 Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz covers everything for 4 years or 50,000 miles and nothing after. Air suspension, turbochargers, mild-hybrid electrical systems and infotainment are the usual high-cost items on older cars.
