2014 Toyota Corolla Factory Warranty

Based on the mileage and age provided in the warranty document, several of the factory warranties have already expired or will soon expire. Specifically:

Basic Warranty

The Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty, also known as the basic warranty, does not cover damage or failures resulting from factors like accidents, neglect, improper repairs, modifications, or lack of maintenance. This warranty expired in 2017, after 36 months from the vehicle’s 2014 in-service date. Since the 36-month time limit expired before the 36,000-mile limit, the basic warranty coverage ended in 2017 regardless of mileage accrued. 

It does not cover damage from accidents, modifications, poor maintenance, etc. Be sure to refer to our Ultimate Guide to Car Warranties article if you need more details on what basic warranties do and do not cover.

Powertrain Warranty

The Toyota Powertrain Warranty covers repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of components like the engine, transmission, drive system, and more. It expires after 60 months or 60,000 miles from the in-service date, whichever occurs first. For this 2014 Toyota Corolla, the Powertrain Warranty likely expired in 2019, after 5 years from the in-service date. 

Since the 60-month time limit expired before the 60,000 mile limit, the Powertrain Warranty coverage ended in 2019 regardless of mileage accrued. Be sure to refer to our Ultimate Guide to Car Warranties article if you need more details on what powertrain warranties cover.

Corrosion Perforation Warranty

The Toyota Corrosion Perforation Limited Warranty covers the repair or replacement of any original body panel that develops perforation from corrosion. It expires after 60 months from the in-service date, with no mileage limit. For this 2014 Toyota Corolla, the Corrosion Perforation Limited Warranty expired in 2019, after 5 years from the in-service date. Since the 60-month time limit expired before any mileage limit, the Corrosion Perforation Limited Warranty coverage ended in 2019 regardless of mileage accrued. Be sure to refer to our Ultimate Guide to Car Warranties article if you need more details on what rust perforation limited warranties cover.

Air Conditioning Warranty

Please note that the air conditioning warranty is not explicitly stated in the warranty guide. We are assuming it’s covered under the Basic Warranty. Please confirm with your Toyota Dealer on exact details.

The air conditioning system is covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. For a 2014 Toyota Corolla purchased new, the 3-year/36,000-mile air conditioning warranty would have expired by 2017 if the mileage limit was reached. 

Battery Warranty

Please note that the battery warranty is not explicitly stated in the warranty guide. We are assuming it’s covered under the Basic Warranty. Please confirm with your Toyota Dealer on exact details.

The battery in the 2014 Toyota Corolla is covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship of the original battery installed in the vehicle. However, it does not cover damage or failures resulting from misuse, modifications, alterations, improper maintenance, accidents, or natural disasters. 

For a 2014 Corolla purchased new, the 3-year/36,000-mile battery warranty under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty would have expired by 2017, after the time limit was reached. If the battery failed due to a defect in materials or workmanship within the 3-year/36,000-mile warranty period, it would have been covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. However, any battery failures after the expiration of the 3-year/36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty period would not be covered.

Tire Warranty

The original tires on the 2014 Toyota Corolla are covered by the Tire Limited Warranty, according to the maintenance guide. This warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship of the original tires. However, it does not cover damage or failures from improper maintenance, misuse, road hazards, or accidents. The Tire Limited Warranty coverage period is not specified in miles or years in the maintenance guide, so there is no clear expiration for the original tires. But tire warranties typically cover workmanship and materials defects for the usable tread life of the tire. 

So the Tire Limited Warranty on the original tires likely expired once the usable tread wore out, assuming no defects were present before that. For the original tires on a 2014 Corolla, the Tire Limited Warranty would have expired at some point several years ago when the usable tread wore out through normal driving if no defects were present.

Federal Emissions Warranty

The 2014 Toyota Corolla has a Federal Emission Control Warranty that covers the vehicle’s emission control systems for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of emission control components. However, it does not cover damage or failures from improper maintenance, misuse, modifications, or accidents. 

For a 2014 Corolla purchased new, the 2-year/24,000-mile Federal Emission Control Warranty would have expired by 2016, after the time limit was reached. If an emission control component failed due to a defect within the 2-year/24,000-mile warranty period, the repair would have been covered. However, any emission control system failures after the expiration of the 2-year/24,000-mile Federal Emission Control Warranty in 2016 would not be covered unless the vehicle was still within the separate California Emission Control Warranty period.

The Clean Air Act

The Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to warranty emission control components for at least 2 years or 24,000 miles. For the 2014 Toyota Corolla covered in the warranty document, the Federal Emission Control Warranty would provide for the replacement of defective emission control parts for 2 years or 24,000 miles under the Clean Air Act requirements. So for this vehicle, the Clean Air Act helps the owner by requiring Toyota to replace defective emission system parts like the catalytic converter, EGR valve, or engine control module if they fail due to defects within 2 years or 24,000 miles of purchase. 

Based on a 2014 model year, this emission control warranty coverage under the Clean Air Act would have expired in 2016, assuming the mileage limit was reached. After the expiration of the Clean Air Act mandated  2-year/24,000-mile emission component warranty in 2016 for this vehicle, the owner would be responsible for the cost of any covered part replacements.

California Emissions Warranty

The 2014 Toyota Corolla has a California Emission Control Warranty that covers the vehicle’s emission control systems for 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.  Certain major emissions components have coverage of 7 years or 70,000 miles. This warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of emission control components. However, it does not cover damage or failures from improper maintenance, misuse, modifications, or accidents. 

For a 2014 Corolla purchased new in California, the 3-year/50,000-mile California Emission Control Warranty would have expired by 2017, after the mileage limit was reached. The 7-year/70,000-mile specific part California Emission Warranty would have expired in 2021. If an emission control component like the catalytic converter or engine computer failed due to a defect within the 3-year/50,000-mile warranty period, the repair would have been covered under the California Emissions Warranty. But any emission control system failures after the expiration of the 3-year/50,000 mile California Emissions Warranty in 2017 would not be covered, unless the vehicle was still within the Federal Emission Warranty period.

2014 Toyota Corolla Recalls

Here is a summary of the two NHTSA recalls for the 2014 Toyota Corolla:

In January 2020, Toyota issued a recall (NHTSA campaign number 20V024000) for certain 2011-2019 Corolla models over concerns that the airbag electronic control unit may malfunction during crashes, potentially disabling airbag and seatbelt pretensioner deployment. This recall affected around 2.9 million vehicles and aimed to address the risk of increased injuries if the airbags did not deploy as intended. 

The second recall was issued in October 2013 (NHTSA campaign number 13V505000) and covered around 9,800 model year 2013-2014 Corollas. This recall was initiated because the windshield wiper switch assembly could short circuit, causing the wipers to become inoperative and reduce driver visibility, increasing crash risk.

To remedy these defects, Toyota dealers inspected the vehicles and replaced affected parts like the airbag control module or wiper switch assembly free of charge to owners. Both of these NHTSA recalls aimed to correct component defects that could increase the risk of a crash or injuries. Impacted Corolla owners were directly notified when the recalls were issued in 2013 and 2020.
