12  Volt Battery Limited Warranty Extension

Volkswagen is extending warranty coverage for the original (factory-installed) 12V battery in certain Volkswagen Atlas vehicles (under specific conditions) to 3 years/unlimited mileage, from the vehicle’s original in-service date.

The vehicle’s original in-service date is defined as the date the vehicle was delivered to either the original purchaser or the original lessee; or if the vehicle was first placed in service as a “demonstrator” or “company” car, on the date such vehicle was first placed in service.

This warranty extension is fully transferrable to subsequent owners.

 

The 12 Volt Battery Limited Warranty Extension is applicable for Certain Volkswagen vehicles:

4MY 2018 Model Year Atlas Vehicles with PR Code J0V.

 

Warranty Extension Coverage/Limitations

If the original (factory-installed) 12V battery in the vehicle malfunctions while the vehicle is within the time limit of this warranty extension, at no cost to the customer, an authorized Volkswagen dealer will perform a diagnosis check on the battery.

4 If diagnosis confirms that the 12V battery is faulty, the battery will be replaced at no cost to the customer.

4 If diagnosis reveals that the vehicle has an unrelated issue(s) resulting in a battery problem(s), any necessary repairs will not be covered under this warranty extension.  The dealer will advise the customer what the associated repair costs will be.

4 This extended warranty applies only to the original (factory-installed) 12V battery in certain Atlas vehicles. If the original (factory-installed) battery in the vehicle has been replaced, this warranty extension does not apply.

If this is not the original equipment battery, please refer to Volkswagen Warranty Policy and Procedures Manual section 3.9.2 Genuine Volkswagen 6-Volt/12-Volt Replacement Battery Limited Warranty for coverage parameters.  This warranty extension does not apply.
