How Long is the Mercedes-Benz Powertrain Warranty?

The Mercedes-Benz powertrain warranty is part of the Mercedes-Benz new vehicle factory warranty which applies for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty is transferable from one Mercedes-Benz owner to the next with very little work needed on the part of the previous owner. Also, there is no limit on the number of owners the vehicle can have in order for the warranty to be valid.
