Land Rover Defender: Corrosion protection limited warranty

Applicability: Vehicles originally specified and built by Jaguar Land Rover Limited for, and registered in, the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.

Warranty statement

JLR warrant that if any corrosion perforation occurs on the body of a Land Rover vehicle within six (6) years, unlimited mileage/distance, from the date of first retail sale or the date of entry into demonstrator or company service, whichever occurs first, the panels affected by corrosion perforation will be repaired or replaced at a Land Rover retailer/ authorized repairer retailer at no charge to the owner.

Warranty coverage

This warranty applies only to corrosion perforation of painted body panels or the body shell. Corrosion perforation means the corroding-through of the vehicle body from the inside to the outside.

Any part or component bolted or attached to the body, such as the suspension or exhaust systems, is not covered by the warranty because it is not part of the 'body'. These components are covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Sheet metal damage repairs

Any automotive body shop that is repairing sheet metal damage should be instructed to apply proper anti-corrosive materials to bring those repaired areas into conformity with the original protection provided by the manufacturer. Damage caused by a failure to do so could void the Corrosion Warranty on any panels affected by the damage.

Aftermarket corrosion-proofing

Land Rover vehicles are protected internally with a wax-injection process. The use of aftermarket applications that contain solvents could compromise this factory coating. Claims for future corrosion perforation repairs could be denied because the factory coating had been rendered ineffectual.

Aluminum repairs

Land Rover vehicles employ full aluminum body panels and monocoque framework.

All collision repairs must be performed by an authorized Jaguar Land Rover Aluminum Repair Center for the Corrosion Warranty to be applicable. Contact your local Land Rover retailer/authorized repairer for details, or to contact the Jaguar Land Rover Customer Relationship Center, dial:
