Fuso introduces five-year standard warranty

Geoff Dobson · 0 comments

Fuso has increased its standard manufacturer’s warranty to five years on all new trucks and Rosa bus models.
This makes Fuso the first and only Japanese truck manufacturer in Australia to offer this level of cover as standard.

It is a bumper to bumper manufacturer’s warranty and includes genuine Fuso parts and service from an authorised Fuso dealer.

Previously, the standard warranty was three years.

The new warranty lasts for five years or, varying between models, a certain amount of kilometres or operating hours, whichever comes first. The distance or hours covered depends on the model.

“Fuso is prepared to back our great vehicles with a class-leading warranty that gives our customers real peace of mind,” Fuso Truck and Bus director Justin Whitford says.

“This initiative, along with our recent introduction of a complimentary first scheduled service, makes owning a Fuso more attractive than ever,” he says.

The warranty covers almost everything on the vehicles except for tyres, consumables, accidental damage, wear and tear items, non-factory supplied accessories and non-approved aftermarket modifications.

The warranty covers five years or 500,000km or 10,000 operating hours for the FP, FV and FS Heavy models. It’s also five years, or 350,000km or 7000 operating hours, for the FM and FN Fighter medium duty.

The FK Fighter medium duty truck is covered for five years or 300,000km or 6000 operating hours. The Canter light duty truck and Rosa bus have a warranty for five years or 200,000km or 4000 operating hours.

The new warranty applies only to trucks and buses registered and operated in normal conditions in Australia. Vehicles operated in severe service applications, such as off-road, underground mining, crop spraying or on beaches are covered under warranty for 12 months or 50,000km or 1000 hours – whichever comes first.
