2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Factory Warranty
The factory warranty document shows the coverages and durations of warranties for a new 2019 Chevrolet vehicle. Based on the information provided, the following warranties have likely expired:
– Basic Warranty (Bumper-to-Bumper): This covers the entire vehicle for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. For a 2019 model year vehicle, this warranty has likely expired based on time.
– Corrosion Perforation: This covers corrosion and rust-through on body sheet metal panels for 6 years or 100,000 miles. For a 2019 vehicle, this warranty is still active unless the mileage limit has been reached.
– Air Conditioning: This covers the A/C system for 3 years or 36,000 miles. This has likely expired based on time for a 2019 vehicle.
– Battery: This covers the battery for 3 years or 36,000 miles. This has also likely expired based on time.
– Federal Emissions Performance: This covers emission performance for 2 years or 24,000 miles. For a 2019 vehicle, this has likely expired based on time.
The powertrain warranty and emissions defect warranties likely still have mileage remaining since they are 5+ years. Any expired warranties would no longer provide coverage unless an extension was granted.

Our article breaks down each warranty, what it covers, durations, and other key details. Checking out the guide can help provide clarification on the coverages so you fully understand the factory warranty on your new vehicle purchase.
Basic Warranty
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty, also referred to as the basic warranty, covers repairs to any defects in materials or workmanship in the vehicle for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. For a 2019 Chevrolet vehicle, the basic warranty likely expired in 2022 after 3 years.
This warranty does not cover damage caused by accidents, modifications, improper maintenance, environmental conditions, or normal wear and tear. Things like wheel alignment, wiper blades, brake pads, light bulbs, and tires are also not covered under the basic warranty. Since we are now in 2023, the basic warranty has expired based on time for a 2019 Chevrolet vehicle purchased new. It’s important to understand what is and isn’t covered under this 3 year/36,000 mile basic warranty.
Powertrain Warranty
The powertrain warranty covers the engine, transmission, drive systems, and other components on Chevrolet vehicles for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. For a 2019 Chevrolet vehicle, the powertrain warranty will expire in 2024, after 5 years from the in-service date.
This warranty covers repairs to defects in materials or workmanship on parts like the engine, transmission, drive axles, turbocharger, and electrical components that are internal to these systems. The powertrain warranty provides extended coverage beyond the basic 3 year/36,000 mile warranty on the major drivetrain components. For a 2019 model year Chevrolet vehicle, the powertrain warranty based on time will expire in 2024 unless an extension was granted.
Corrosion Perforation Warranty
The rust perforation limited warranty covers corrosion and rust-through on body sheet metal panels on Chevrolet vehicles for 6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty specifically covers any body sheet metal panel that rusts through, meaning an actual hole forms due to corrosion.
For a 2019 Chevrolet vehicle, the rust perforation limited warranty will expire in 2025, after 6 years from the in-service date. This provides extended anti-corrosion coverage beyond the 3 year basic warranty. Cosmetic or surface corrosion is not covered, only perforation. For a 2019 model year Chevrolet vehicle, the rust perforation limited warranty based on time will expire in 2025 unless an extension was granted.
Air Conditioning Warranty
The Air Conditioning Warranty covers the air conditioning system components on Chevrolet vehicles for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This matches the coverage of the basic warranty. For a 2019 Chevrolet vehicle, the Air Conditioning Warranty likely expired in 2022, after 3 years from the in-service date.
This warranty covers repairs to defects in materials or workmanship related to the A/C system parts like the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and related components. It does not cover recharging the A/C system or normal maintenance. For a 2019 model year Chevrolet vehicle, the Air Conditioning Warranty based on time likely expired in 2022 unless an extension was granted. Since we are now in 2023, this warranty has passed the 3 year time limit.
Battery Warranty
The Battery Warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship related to the battery on Chevrolet vehicles. This warranty lasts for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, matching the New Vehicle Limited Warranty duration. For a 2019 Chevrolet vehicle, the Battery Warranty expired in 2022 after 3 years from the in-service date.
This warranty does not cover damage caused by improper maintenance, modifications, environmental conditions, or normal battery wear. Things like battery cables, connections, and plates are covered, but discharge from leaving lights or accessories on, freezing, fire, theft, vandalism, or flooding are not covered. For a 2019 model-year Chevrolet vehicle, the Battery Warranty, based on time expired, in 2022 unless an extension was granted. Since we are now in 2023, this 3-year warranty has passed the time limit.
Tire Warranty
The Tire Warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship for the original tires equipped on Chevrolet vehicles. The tires are warranted for 3 years or 36,000 miles, matching the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. For a 2019 Chevrolet, the Tire Warranty likely expired in 2022 after 3 years.
This warranty does not cover tire damage from road hazards, improper inflation, overloading, racing, spinning, tire chains, etc. Normal tire wear and wear-out are also not covered. After the warranty expires, the owner is responsible for replacement tires. For a 2019 model year Chevrolet, the Tire Warranty based on time expired in 2022, unless an extension was granted. Since we are now in 2023, this 3-year tire coverage has passed the time limit.
Federal Emissions Warranty
The Federal Emissions Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship related to the emissions control systems on Chevrolet vehicles. For the 2019 model year, this warranty covers performance for 2 years or 24,000 miles and defects for 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first. The performance warranty likely expired in 2021 after 2 years from the in-service date for a 2019 Chevrolet.
This does not cover issues caused by improper maintenance, fuel contamination, modifications, or environmental damage. Parts like the catalytic converter, engine control module, and sensors are covered under the Federal Emissions Warranty. Based on time, the performance warranty likely expired in 2021 for a 2019 vehicle, while the defect warranty will expire in 2027 after 8 years unless an extension is granted.
The Clean Air Act
The Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to warrant emissions control components on new vehicles. This means that under the Clean Air Act, certain parts related to reducing emissions on the 2019 Chevrolet vehicle may be covered for repair or replacement even if the warranty has expired. Specifically, the Federal Emissions Warranty provides extended coverage of 8 years/80,000 miles for defects in emissions-related parts like the catalytic converter and engine control module.
So for this 2019 vehicle, the owner may still have coverage under the Clean Air Act for defects until 2027, after 8 years from the in-service date. This Federal Emissions defect coverage comes from the vehicle manufacturer’s responsibilities under the Clean Air Act. While some warranties have expired based on time, the Clean Air Act provides continued limited coverage for emissions-related defects.
California Emissions Warranty
The California Emissions Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship related to the emissions control systems on Chevrolet vehicles originally registered in California. For the 2019 model year, this warranty covers performance for 3 years or 50,000 miles and defects for 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first. The California Emissions warranty likely expired in 2022 after 3 years from the in-service date for a 2019 Chevrolet.
This does not cover issues caused by improper maintenance, fuel contamination, modifications, or environmental damage. Parts like the catalytic converter, engine control module, and sensors are covered under the California Emissions Warranty. Based on time, the performance warranty likely expired in 2022 for a 2019 vehicle registered in California, while the defect warranty will expire in 2026 after 7 years unless an extension is granted.

Extended Warranties
Extended Warranty Available Upon Car Purchase
Based on the warranty booklet, GM offered several extended warranty options at the time this 2019 Chevrolet was purchased new. To find out if the vehicle still has an active extended warranty, the owner should contact their Chevrolet dealer and provide the VIN. They can check the warranty status and details based on the vehicle’s in-service date and mileage.
The new vehicle limited warranty provides bumper-to-bumper coverage for 3 years/36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 5 years/60,000 miles, so any extended warranty coverage would go beyond those terms. The owner should ask the dealer to verify if they purchased an extended warranty when the vehicle was new in 2019.

– The new vehicle limited warranty covers both parts and labor for repairs to correct any vehicle defect. This includes the bumper-to-bumper coverage for 3 years/36,000 miles and the powertrain coverage for 5 years/60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
– For Chevrolet vehicles, extended warranty options can be purchased after the initial purchase to extend coverage beyond the original warranty terms. To add an extended warranty now, the owner would need to contact their Chevrolet dealer and discuss available plans based on the vehicle’s current mileage and age.
Does the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Cover Replacement Exhaust Components?
– The exhaust manifold and gasket are covered under the emissions warranty, which is 2 years/24,000 miles for federal emissions or 3 years/50,000 miles for California emissions, whichever comes first.

– The new vehicle limited warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship, is 3 years/36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper and 5 years/60,000 miles powertrain. So any non-emissions-related exhaust components would also no longer be covered under the limited warranty based on the 2019 model year.
