Chrysler’s Factory Warranty Overview

When purchasing a new Chrysler vehicle, including the Chrysler Pacifica, buyers receive a Chrysler factory warranty that provides coverage for defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty is designed to protect owners from unexpected repair costs during the initial years of ownership, offering peace of mind and confidence in the vehicle’s reliability.

Chrysler’s standard factory warranty consists of several key components, including bumper-to-bumper coverage, a powertrain warranty, corrosion protection, and roadside assistance. Understanding these coverage details is essential for owners, especially those purchasing a Chrysler Pacifica for personal use, travel, or an owner of a Chrysler Pacifica Mini-T Campervan by DLM-Distribution.


Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty

The basic limited warranty, commonly referred to as bumper-to-bumper coverage, lasts for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty covers nearly all vehicle components, except for wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, tires, and windshield wipers.

For Chrysler Pacifica owners, this coverage includes essential systems like:

Electrical components (radio, power windows, touchscreen, sensors)

Air conditioning and heating systems

Suspension components

Steering system

Factory-installed safety features

For Mini-T Campervan buyers, it's important to note that DLM-Distribution’s Mini-T Campervan upfits—such as the solar power system, bed conversion, microwave, and auxiliary power setup—are separate from Chrysler’s warranty. However, these components are backed by DLM-Distribution’s own warranty coverage.


Powertrain Limited Warranty

Chrysler vehicles, including the Pacifica, are covered under a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. This protection focuses on major drivetrain components that contribute to the vehicle's performance and longevity.

Key components covered under the powertrain warranty include:

Engine block and internal parts

Transmission and transaxle

Driveshafts and axles

Differential and transfer case (for AWD models)

For those using a Chrysler Pacifica-based Mini-T Campervan, this coverage ensures that the vehicle’s core mechanical systems are protected while enjoying travel and camping adventures. The AWD Pacifica Mini-T Campervan, in particular, benefits from this coverage, as its drivetrain is essential for handling diverse road conditions.


Corrosion (Rust-Through) Warranty

Chrysler provides a 3-year/unlimited mileage corrosion protection warranty for surface rust and a 5-year/unlimited mileage warranty for rust that causes perforation (holes in the sheet metal). 

Owners who plan to use their Pacifica-based Mini-T Campervan for extensive travel should consider regular underbody washes and protective coatings to extend the vehicle’s lifespan beyond the warranty period.


Roadside Assistance

For added peace of mind, Chrysler vehicles include 5 years or 60,000 miles of roadside assistance (matching the powertrain warranty). This service provides:

Towing assistance to the nearest Chrysler dealership

Battery jump-start services

Flat tire change assistance

Lockout service

Emergency fuel delivery

This is especially valuable for those using their Pacifica Mini-T Campervan on long road trips. Having factory-backed roadside assistance ensures help is available in case of unexpected vehicle-related issues.


What’s Not Covered by Chrysler’s Factory Warranty?

While Chrysler’s factory warranty is comprehensive, it does not cover:

Regular maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations, brake pads, wiper blades)

Damage caused by accidents, misuse, or unauthorized modifications

Environmental damage (hail, flooding, fire, road salt, etc.)

Normal wear-and-tear components like upholstery, batteries, or tires

For those using a Mini-T Campervan, it's essential to note that Chrysler’s warranty applies to the base Pacifica vehicle itself, while any campervan-related features, such as the solar power system and bed conversion, are covered under DLM-Distribution’s separate and included warranty.


Extending Chrysler’s Warranty: Mopar Extended Protection Plans

For Pacifica owners who want longer coverage, Chrysler offers , which can be purchased through dealerships. These extended warranties can provide up to 8 years or 150,000 miles of coverage on various vehicle components.

Benefits of Mopar Extended Protection Plans include:

Additional powertrain and bumper-to-bumper coverage beyond the factory warranty

Coverage for electronics, sensors, and high-tech features

Roadside assistance and rental car reimbursement

For frequent travelers and campervan owners, an extended plan may be worth considering for added security during long road trips.


Final Thoughts

Chrysler’s factory warranty provides solid coverage for the Pacifica, ensuring reliability for personal travel, daily driving, or conversion into a Mini-T Campervan. With 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage, 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain protection, corrosion warranties, and roadside assistance, owners can drive with confidence knowing they are backed by manufacturer support.

For Mini-T Campervan buyers, it’s important to remember that Chrysler’s warranty applies to the vehicle itself, while all campervan-related components are covered under DLM-Distribution’s included warranty. Together, these warranties provide a well-rounded protection plan for owners who want to explore the road without worrying about unexpected repair costs.

If you're considering a Chrysler Pacifica Mini-T Campervan, DLM-Distribution can provide further details on both the Chrysler warranty and the additional protection included with the campervan conversion.
