Standard Warranty

STANDARD WARRANTY FOR NEW ON-HIGHWAY ENGINES
Caterpillar's standard warranty is on of the best in the industry. For new engines, the standard warranty coverage varies by engine model and application. Standard warranty begins after date of delivery to the first user. In situations where coverage is specified in months, or mileage, or hours, the warranty will expire at the time of whichever measurement occurs first. Select a model below for more details:
