Volkswagen warranty extensions and special coverage
9 programs Volkswagen filed with NHTSA in which it extends, or specially covers, a part beyond the original warranty — the term each runs to where the document states it, and the model years it names. Not recalls: the terms are Volkswagen’s, they end, and the dealer checks the VIN.

Common questions about Volkswagen warranty extensions
Source: NHTSA manufacturer communicationsDoes Volkswagen have a warranty extension for my car?
Find your model and year in the list above and open the program: it names the model years Volkswagen listed and quotes NHTSA’s summary. Not every vehicle of those years is covered — a Volkswagen dealer checks the VIN. Bring the number (for example VWP-26-07 FAQ).
Is a warranty extension a recall?
No. A safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number and the law requires the manufacturer to fix it free. A warranty extension carries no campaign number and no legal requirement: the years, the miles and what is covered are the manufacturer’s own terms, and when they run out the coverage ends. Recalls have their own pages.
I already paid for this repair. Can I get the money back?
Many programs reimburse owners who paid before the extension was announced; where NHTSA’s summary says so, the program’s page shows it under “Paid for it already?”. The manufacturer decides, from your receipts.
