This is a supplement to the express conditions and warranties described in the Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet. Other coverages are not extended or altered due to this supplement.
For 2007 through 2010 model year passenger car, light duty truck and van owners requiring a more comprehensive coverage than what is provided with this warranty and the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, an authorized GM service contract (GM Protection Plan) is available through your dealer/retailer. These are the only plans recommended by General Motors. See your dealer/retailer for details.
Covered for 4 years/50,000 miles4
Cadillac backs your new vehicle with its no-deductible, Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty. The entire vehicle is warranted for repairs, including parts and labor, to correct problems in materials or workmanship, for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first (except normal maintenance). The warranty covers towing to the nearest Cadillac dealership, and there is no deductible for warranty repairs during the warranty period. The warranty transfers automatically with vehicle ownership during the warranty period.
Covered for 6 years/100,000 miles4
Corrosion Protection
Cadillac vehicles are designed and built to resist corrosion. All body and sheet metal components are warranted against rust-through corrosion for 6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Application of additional rust-inhibiting materials is not required under the corrosion coverage and none is recommended. See your Cadillac dealer for terms of this limited warranty.
An Important Note about Alterations and Warranties
Installations or alterations to the original equipment vehicle (or chassis) as distributed by General Motors are not covered by the General Motors New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The special body company, assembler, equipment installer, or upfitter is solely responsible for warranties on the body or equipment and any alterations (or any effect of the alterations) to any of the parts, components, systems, or assemblies installed by GM. General Motors is not responsible for the safety or quality of design features, materials, or workmanship of any alterations by such suppliers.
What is the Cadillac 5-year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty?
All 2007 through 2010 passenger cars and light duty trucks are covered. The Powertrain Limited Warranty is 100,000 miles or 5 years (whichever comes first). It is fully transferable and there are no fees and no deductibles. The Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation programs are also 100,000 miles or 5 years (whichever comes first). For more details, please visit your Cadillac dealer or click here.
How is the bumper-to-bumper warranty affected by this 5-year/100,000-mile warranty?
The bumper-to-bumper New Vehicle Limited Warranty on new Cadillac cars and light-duty trucks remains in effect for four years or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first). For more details, please visit your Cadillac dealer or click here.
Why has GM elected to make this change?
This move is intended to provide you with an unprecedented level of value, confidence, and protection. As a result, GM is elevating your total vehicle ownership experience with the best, most comprehensive consumer confidence package in the industry.
Can I purchase this extra powertrain coverage for my 2006 (and prior) vehicle?
You may be eligible to choose from one of our GMPP offerings which can be tailored to meet your needs - including extended powertrain coverage. Please contact your selling dealer/retailership for details on the various GM Protection Plan programs.
What about Courtesy Transportation?
Courtesy Transportation is also included for 5-years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first) on all 2007 through 2010 Cadillac passenger cars and light duty trucks. Whenever warranty repairs are required, several transportation options and/or reimbursement of certain transportation expenses are available for your convenience at participating dealers/retailers.
What does the bumper-to-bumper warranty cover?
The bumper-to-bumper New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers vehicles registered in the U.S. and Canada from the date the vehicle is first delivered until it reaches four years or 50,000 miles (whichever occurs first). It covers the vehicle from bumper to bumper on any vehicle defect related to materials or workmanship. For further details, look in the Owner's Manual under "What Is Covered" and "What Is Not Covered."
Is my vehicle covered from rust, too?
Cadillac vehicles are designed and built to resist corrosion. All body and sheet metal components are warranted against rust-through corrosion for 6 years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first). Application of additional rust-inhibiting materials is neither necessary nor required under the Sheet Metal Coverage. Cadillac makes no recommendations concerning the usefulness or value of such products. Application of after-manufacture rustproofing products may create an environment which reduces the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle. Repairs to correct damage caused by such applications are not covered under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty. See your Cadillac dealer for terms of this limited warranty.
Do I have to go the Cadillac dealer where I purchased my vehicle to have this type of work performed?
While most customers prefer to have this type of work performed at their selling dealer, it can be performed at any Cadillac dealership.
Can I take my Cadillac to any GM dealership for warranty repairs?
These repairs must be performed by an Authorized Cadillac dealer, except in an emergency situation when a covered part or a Cadillac dealer is not reasonably available to the vehicle owner. It's in your best interest to take your Cadillac vehicle to a Cadillac dealer for all repairs since they are the most knowledgeable about the particulars of your vehicle.
Does GM offer or endorse any service contracts for new or used vehicles?
Yes, the GM Protection Plan (GMPP) vehicle service and maintenance contracts and the Saturn Service Protection Plan (SSPP) are the only products endorsed by General Motors and are available through most GM dealers or Saturn retailers.
