Porsche Corrosion Warranty

The Porsche corrosion warranty includes repairs to any perforation, or rust through, to any sheet metal on a new Porsche vehicle. This Porsche warranty covers repairs of any corrosion due to manufacturer defects or workmanship. It only applies to sheet metal that is provided by Porsche. The Porsche corrosion warranty begins at the delivery date (in-service date) which is the date it is delivered to the first Porsche owner or the date when it is first put into use.

What is Covered Under the Porsche Corrosion Warranty?

Under the Porsche corrosion warranty, any sheet metal that is provided by Porsche that has any holes, or rust through, caused by corrosion due to normal use is covered. Repaired or replaced panels are covered as well as long as they were repaired or replaced by Porsche. Porsche makes the decision whether to replace or repair a body panel.  The Porsche corrosion warranty covers what is listed above. For a complete list of what is not covered under the corrosion warranty look at the Corrosion Limited Warranty section of the Porsche Factory Warranty.

How Long is the Porsche Corrosion Warranty?

The Porsche corrosion warranty applies for 12 years regardless of mileage on all models except for the 911 GT2 and GT3. The 911 GT2 and GT3 are covered for 3 years regardless of mileage. The Porsche corrosion warranty begins with the new vehicle limited warranty which starts the day the vehicle is delivered to the first owner or the day of first use. The warranty is fully transferable and there is no limit to how many owners the vehicle can have.
