Vehicle warranty API
Vehicle warranty API allows you to access the following car warranty information.
The basic, bumper to bumper warranty
- Extensively covers all the parts of a vehicle except some parts that are subjected to wear and tear during use
- Usually manufacturers provide coverage in terms of mileage/years. Some common limits are 3, or 5 years with 36,000 and 50,000 mileage limits respectively
- Whether you reach the time or mileage limit, your warranty expires
The powertrain or drivetrain warranty
- Covers the mechanical parts of any vehicle
- To simplify, powertrain covers every part involved in providing power to the vehicle, mainly engine and drivetrain. The drivetrain further covers the parts that use that power to move the vehicle like transmission, differential, driveshaft, axles, CV joints, and the wheels
- The common limit is 5 years or 50,000 miles but it can be for 10 years and 100,000 miles for other automobile manufacturers
The rust through or corrosion warranty
- Covers any sort of natural or premature rusting and corrosion of a vehicle that is not caused by the driver
- The period is usually 6-12 years and usually 100,000 miles
- Some vehicle warranties are termed as rust perforation that can only be claimed if the metal has completely rusted
Road assistance warranty
- Covers the breakdown of a vehicle in the middle of a journey with the provision of professional assistance if the vehicle breakdowns on road or needs towing
- Technician or professional will come to diagnose the problem or tow the vehicle to the nearest repair location

Vehicle recalls API
NHTSA regulates vehicle safety standards and if safety related complaints are reported against vehicles, following a legal procedure NHTSA issues a recall. However, if safety defects are identified prior to NHTSA involvement, manufacturers conduct a recall and provide a remedy to safety defects.
After issuing recalls, manufacturers fix the safety defect. Sometimes, the vehicle is bought back by the manufacturers and titled as lemon. We are aware that recall information is essential to many automotive businesses like dealerships, fleet vehicles, car rental agencies, or auto services shops and mechanics.
