Canada General Warranty Powersports Extended Warranty Protection

More Protection. More Confidence.

Unexpected mechanical or electrical repairs can be expensive. Canada General Warranty gives eligible powersports owners the option to extend protection beyond the original manufacturer's warranty.

Grand River Power Sports offers both Principal Powertrain and Platinum Comprehensive extended warranty plans. Coverage is available for eligible new and pre-owned powersports vehicles, subject to the applicable warranty contract.

Depending on the vehicle and plan selected, coverage can be available for ATVs, side-by-sides, snowmobiles, motorcycles and personal watercraft.

Choose the Level of Protection That Fits Your Unit

Principal Powertrain vs. Platinum Comprehensive

Coverage, claim limits and optional coverage are subject to the applicable Canada General Warranty contract and the options selected at the time of purchase.

Principal Powertrain Coverage

Principal Powertrain is designed around the major mechanical systems that keep your powersports unit moving.

Engine

Covered engine components include specified internally lubricated components within the engine block and cylinder head, including items such as crankshafts, connecting rods, pistons, camshafts, timing components, oil pumps, valves and related covered components.

Certain components outside the engine block are also covered, including specified flywheel and flex plate components, ring gears, intake manifolds and factory turbochargers or superchargers.

Transmission

Coverage includes specified internally lubricated components of automatic, manual and CVT transmissions, along with listed components such as shift cables, bearings, pumps, torque converters, housings, differential assemblies and shift solenoid valves.

Four-Wheel Drive

Covered four-wheel-drive components include specified internally lubricated parts, including cases, gears, sprockets, chains and related seals and gaskets when damaged from within.

Drive Axles

Covered front and rear drive axle components include specified housings, metal oil pans, seals, gaskets and bearings. Wheel bearings are excluded.

Platinum Comprehensive Coverage

Platinum Comprehensive provides broader protection against mechanical and electrical failure of covered components.

In general, a covered component is one that would have been covered by the original manufacturer's warranty if that manufacturer's warranty had not expired.

Platinum coverage is still subject to the specific covered components, exclusions, limitations and conditions contained in the Canada General Warranty contract.

Understanding Claim Limits

Canada General Warranty establishes maximum reimbursement amounts for individual claims.

• Principal Powertrain: $2,000 per claim as standard, with higher limits of $5,000 or $7,500 available when selected and paid for.
• Platinum Comprehensive: $2,000 per claim as standard, with higher limits of $5,000 or $10,000 available when selected and paid for.
• Total reimbursement during the warranty period cannot exceed the vehicle's purchase price at the point of sale, excluding taxes.

What Is the Deductible?

The standard claim administration fee is $100 per mechanical or electrical claim. The contract identifies this as an administration fee payable to the Authorized Repairer when the repair is completed.

Grand River Power Sports can also offer a $0 deductible option when purchased as an additional option at the time the warranty contract is signed.

The administration fee does not apply to Towing Assistance where that benefit is applicable under the contract.

How Long Does Coverage Last?

Available warranty terms can be selected for up to five years, depending on the vehicle, eligibility and term purchased.

When coverage is purchased while the manufacturer's warranty is still active, the Canada General Warranty period generally begins when the manufacturer's warranty expires.

If the unit is outside or does not have a manufacturer's warranty, the warranty period generally begins on the contract purchase date.

The exact start and end dates are determined by the applicable Canada General Warranty contract.

Keep Your Unit Properly Maintained

Extended warranty protection works alongside proper maintenance. The contract requires the vehicle to be serviced according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule.
• Unless otherwise agreed, servicing must be performed by an Authorized Repairer.
• The maximum service interval specified by the contract is 8,000 km or 12 months, whichever occurs first.
• Keep copies of maintenance records and invoices.
• Failure to comply with the required maintenance schedule can result in a claim being refused or the warranty being cancelled.

What Isn't Covered?

As with any extended warranty, exclusions and limitations apply. Some important exclusions include:

• Modifications beyond manufacturer specifications.
• Commercial use, rental use and certain public-service uses.
• Damage resulting from misuse, abuse, neglect or accidents.
• Fire, theft, vandalism, submersion or impact damage.
• Damage caused by lack of oil, lubricant or required fluids.
• Failure to perform required maintenance.
• Normal wear and tear and consumable items.
• Pre-existing or pre-activated failures.
• Damage resulting from continuing to operate a unit with a known or suspected fault.
• Manufacturer recalls or defects that remain the manufacturer's responsibility.
• Cosmetic components such as paint and trim.
• Damage resulting from racing, rallies or competitive events.
• Certain software, computer code and virus-related failures.
• Use outside Canada and the continental United States, subject to the contract's limitations.

This is not a complete list of exclusions. Always review the actual Canada General Warranty contract before purchasing coverage.

Can the Warranty Be Transferred?

A Canada General Warranty contract may be transferable to a new owner at CGW's sole discretion, subject to the requirements in the contract.

Transfer is limited to qualifying private direct sales and is not available where the vehicle is sold to or through a motor vehicle or powersport dealer or trader. A contract with a previous reimbursement claim may also be ineligible for transfer.

Why Consider an Extended Warranty?

Powersports vehicles combine engines, transmissions, drivetrains, electrical systems and specialized components. A major repair outside the manufacturer's warranty can become a significant unexpected expense.

An extended warranty gives eligible owners an additional layer of protection against covered mechanical and electrical failures.

Whether you are buying a new ATV, side-by-side, snowmobile, motorcycle or personal watercraft, or you're purchasing a qualifying pre-owned unit, an extended warranty may help provide additional financial protection after the manufacturer's coverage ends.

The right plan depends on the age, model and use of your unit, as well as the level of protection you want.
