When you purchase a new Toyota, you gain multiple tiers of protection that cover your vehicle's components and systems. The 2026 Toyota warranty program includes basic coverage, powertrain protection, and specialized coverage for electrified vehicles. Understanding these coverage tiers helps you know what's protected and for how long.
Every new Toyota sold in Canada includes factory warranty coverage. This guide explains what's covered under each warranty tier and how long that protection lasts.
The Basic New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers repairs on any part supplied by Toyota Canada that proves defective in material or workmanship. This protection extends for 36 months or 60,000 kilometres, whichever comes first.
This foundational coverage includes virtually every component of your vehicle, from interior switches to major mechanical systems. The only exceptions are routine maintenance items like wiper blades, fuses, and fluids, plus damage from external factors like accidents or environmental conditions.
Certain service adjustments receive coverage for 12 months or 20,000 kilometres:
These adjustments help keep your Toyota performing properly during the first year of ownership.
The Powertrain New Vehicle Limited Warranty extends protection for your vehicle's critical mechanical components to 60 months or 100,000 kilometres.
Engine Coverage Includes:
Transmission and Transaxle Coverage:
Drive System Coverage:
Front-Wheel-Drive Vehicles:
Rear-Wheel-Drive Vehicles:
Toyota's electrified vehicles receive specialized warranty coverage designed for hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery electric technology.
Hybrid-related components receive protection for 96 months or 160,000 kilometres. This coverage includes:
The hybrid battery itself receives 120 months or 240,000 kilometres of coverage.
For battery electric vehicles, specific components receive 96 months or 160,000 kilometres of coverage:
The electric vehicle traction battery receives dual protection for 96 months or 160,000 kilometres:
Your Toyota warranty includes several specialized protections beyond mechanical coverage.
Paint Defect Warranty: Covers defects in materials or workmanship on all exterior body panels for 36 months or 60,000 kilometres. This protection excludes damage from external sources like stone chips or bird droppings, but covers manufacturing defects in the paint application.
Corrosion Perforation Warranty: Provides 60 months of unlimited-kilometre protection against rust-through of original body sheet metal. This coverage requires no additional rust-proofing treatments to remain valid.
Safety Restraint System Warranty: Protects airbags and related components for 60 months or 100,000 kilometres.
Federal emissions requirements mandate specific warranty coverage for emission control systems. The basic emissions defect and performance warranty covers 36 months or 60,000 kilometres.
Specified major emission control components receive extended coverage of 96 months or 130,000 kilometres:
Your new Toyota warranty includes complimentary roadside assistance coverage. When your vehicle becomes inoperative due to a warranted part failure, towing service to the nearest Toyota dealer is covered under the applicable warranty.
Contact the Toyota Roadside Assistance Centre if you experience a covered mechanical failure, and they'll coordinate the appropriate service response.
Maintaining warranty coverage requires following published maintenance schedules and operating instructions in your Owner's Manual. Regular maintenance using genuine Toyota parts and fluids helps ensure your warranty remains valid.
In emergency situations where an authorized Toyota dealer isn't reasonably available, you may have repairs performed by a licensed technician at an established service facility. However, every effort should be made to use genuine Toyota parts to maintain warranty validity.
If you sell your Toyota before the warranty expires, the remaining coverage transfers to the subsequent owner. This transferability adds value to your vehicle and provides the next owner with the same protection.
The warranty transfer requires proper vehicle registration in Toyota's system and doesn't require additional fees or paperwork.
Certain items and situations fall outside warranty coverage.
Not Covered:
Continuing to drive when the malfunction indicator light illuminates can result in damage that isn't covered under warranty.
While your new vehicle warranty provides substantial coverage, Toyota offers Extra Care Protection (ECP) Service Agreements that extend protection beyond the standard warranty period. These agreements can provide coverage for up to seven years or 200,000 kilometres.

These extended protection plans help you budget for future repairs and maintain protection throughout your ownership experience.
The 2026 Toyota warranty program delivers multiple layers of protection covering basic components, powertrain systems, and specialized electrified vehicle technology. From 36-month basic coverage to 120-month hybrid battery protection, each warranty tier protects specific vehicle systems.
