If you’re confused about what each of the warranties covers for your Toyota Camry, I recommend checking out our article “The Ultimate Guide to Car Warranties.” This guide explains what factory warranties like basic, powertrain, corrosion perforation, air conditioning, paint, battery, tire, federal emissions, and California emissions are meant to cover. Knowing what’s covered under your factory warranty is important – it can save you money on repairs down the road. The factory warranty protects you from certain repair costs, but only if the damaged part is covered under the applicable warranty.
Our article breaks down each component of the factory warranty in simple terms, so you can understand exactly what Toyota will pay for if something breaks on your new Camry. With this knowledge, you can make informed decisions about extending your coverage and anticipate maintenance costs as your car ages. Don’t get caught unprepared – get the full picture by reading our Ultimate Guide.
Basic Warranty
The basic warranty, referred to as the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, does not cover damage or failures resulting from factors like vehicle accidents, negligence, improper maintenance, alterations, lack of maintenance, or installation of non-Toyota parts. This 3-year/36,000 mile basic warranty expired in 2016, as it is now 2023 and the 2013 Toyota Camry is over 10 years old. Even if the vehicle had low mileage, the basic warranty still expired after 3 years.
Remember that basic warranties expire based on whichever limit comes first – the years or mileage. Knowing what isn’t covered and when the basic warranty expires allows owners to avoid unexpectedly paying for repairs that they assumed were covered. Our article provides more details on basic warranty exclusions so owners know what to expect.
Powertrain Warranty
The powertrain warranty covers repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of the engine, transmission/transaxle, front-wheel drive system, rear-wheel drive system, restraint system, hybrid system, and related components. The powertrain warranty covers repairs and adjustments to the engine, transmission, drivetrain components, and other related parts against defects in materials and workmanship.
This warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and therefore for this 2013 Toyota Camry it expired in 2018 or at 60,000 miles, whichever occurred first.
Corrosion Perforation Warranty
The rust perforation limited warranty covers the repair or replacement of any original body panel that develops perforation from corrosion (rust-through). The rust perforation limited warranty protects against rust perforation of body panels caused by defects in materials or workmanship. If corrosion causes perforation of any original body panel, Toyota will repair or replace the affected panel at no charge. This coverage helps provide peace of mind to Toyota owners by protecting against rust damage during the warranty period.
This warranty covers 5 years regardless of mileage, and therefore for this 2013 Toyota Camry it expired in 2018.
Air Conditioning Warranty
Unfortunately, the air condition warranty isn’t mentioned in the warranty guide. Typically, the air conditioning warranty covers repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of the air conditioning system components. This includes the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and related components. Assuming this 2013 Camry is covered under the basic warranty, the air conditioning warranty coverage is 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Therefore, for this 2013 Camry, the air conditioning warranty expired in 2016 or at 36,000 miles, whichever occurred first. Owners may want to confirm that the air conditioner falls under the basic warranty with their Toyota dealers, to have peace of mind.
Battery Warranty
Unfortunately, the battery warranty isn’t mentioned in the warranty guide. We will make the assumption that the battery warranty is covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. For this 2013 Toyota Camry, the battery warranty therefore expired in 2016 or at 36,000 miles.
This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship of the original battery installed in the vehicle, subject to certain limitations. Damage or failures from improper maintenance or accidents are not covered. Wear-and-tear over time and natural deterioration of battery capacity are also not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Only defects in original materials and workmanship during the duration. Owners may want to confirm that the battery falls under the basic warranty with their Toyota dealers. to have peace of mind.
Tire Warranty
The tire warranty is separate from Toyota and is provided by the individual tire manufacturer. This covers defects in materials and workmanship of the original tires. Tire warranties often cover 4-5 years from the manufacture date or until the tire tread wears down to a certain depth, whichever comes first.
So for a 2013 Toyota Camry, it is likely the tire warranty expired sometime between 2017-2018 depending on the production date of the tires. The tire warranty does not cover damage from improper maintenance, road hazards, accidents, or normal wear and tear. Only defects in original materials and workmanship during the warranty period are covered. The owner must contact the tire manufacturer directly regarding any warranty claim, as this coverage is separate from other Toyota warranties. This separate tire warranty provides owners with protection against tire defects for a designated period.
Federal Emissions Warranty
The Federal Emissions Warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of emissions-related parts. This includes components like the engine control module, catalytic converter, and related systems. The warranty does not cover damage or failures resulting from lack of maintenance, improper repairs, alterations, accidents, or environmental conditions.
For this 2013 Toyota Camry, the Federal Emissions Warranty therefore expired in 2015 and 2018(specific parts). This federal warranty ensures emissions systems function properly during the warranty period, providing owners with assurance the vehicle will pass emissions tests as required.
The Clean Air Act
The Clean Air Act established vehicle emissions standards in the United States. Under this law, some states require more stringent emissions tests for vehicle registration. If a vehicle fails an emissions test during the warranty period due to a defect in an emissions-related part, the Clean Air Act provides additional protection for owners.
For this 2013 Toyota Camry, the emissions warranty expires in 2021 or at 80,000 miles based on the federal emissions standards. If the vehicle were to fail an emissions test before the expiration of the warranty in 2021 due to a defective part, the owner may be eligible to have the part replaced under the Clean Air Act at no charge. This helps ensure vehicles maintain compliance with emissions regulations during the warranty period as required under the Clean Air Act.
California Emissions Warranty
The California Emissions Warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of emissions-related parts on vehicles registered in California and states that follow California emissions regulations. This includes components like the catalytic converter, engine control module, and other related systems. For Toyota models like this 2013 Camry, the California Emissions Warranty coverage is 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first for the general emissions warranty. The Long-term defect warranty has a duration of 7 years or 70,000 miles.
For a 2013 Toyota Camry, the initial California emissions warranty would have expired in 2016 or at 50,000 miles. The longer 7-year/70,000-mile coverage on major components would expire in 2020 for a Camry purchased new in 2013.
2013 Toyota Camry Recalls
The 2013 Toyota Camry has two NHTSA recalls. In October 2013, Toyota recalled over 800,000 2012-2013 Toyota Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles due to a potential issue with the air conditioning drain hose becoming clogged. This could cause water to leak onto the airbag control module and result in the airbags becoming disabled or inadvertently deploying, increasing the risk of injury. Toyota dealerships inspected the drain hoses and installed protective covers on the airbag control modules to address this issue.
Also in October 2013, Toyota recalled over 9,700 2013-2014 Toyota Camry, Avalon, Corolla, and other models because of a possible windshield wiper switch assembly short circuit defect. This could lead to inoperative windshield wipers, reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. Toyota dealerships replaced the wiper switch assemblies on the recalled vehicles to fix this issue.
These two NHTSA recalls involved safety defects related to the air conditioning system and wiper switch which could disable important vehicle functions in the 2013 Camry. Toyota notified owners and worked with dealerships to make repairs that would correct the defects and help restore the proper functioning of affected parts.
