For warranty coverage, the engine is generally protected against what types of failures?

Warranty coverage for engines typically protects against failures caused by defective materials or workmanship. This means that if an engine component fails due to an inherent defect that was present at the time of manufacture, or if the assembly of the engine was not performed correctly, the warranty would cover the repair or replacement of that component.

For instance, if an engine develops a problem because of a poorly manufactured part, such as a crankshaft that has not been machined correctly, this situation falls under warranty coverage. The focus of warranty protection is to ensure that the customer does not bear the financial burden for issues that are due to the manufacturer's responsibility.

It's important to specify that warranty coverage generally does not extend to user-induced damages or failures resulting from misuse, lack of maintenance, or normal wear and tear. These scenarios are not considered defects in material or workmanship, and hence, they typically fall outside the warranties provided by manufacturers.
