For owners looking to personalize and enhance their Mitsubishi Triton, genuine accessories offer the perfect blend of style, functionality, and assured quality. It’s important to understand the warranty coverage that comes with these genuine additions to ensure peace of mind and protect your investment. Always consult with your Mitsubishi Dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding accessory availability and compatibility for your specific Triton model.
Understanding Warranty Coverage for Genuine Mitsubishi Triton Accessories
Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) guarantees that all Genuine Accessories are free from material defects under normal use and service conditions within Australia. The warranty period for your genuine Mitsubishi Triton accessories depends on when and how they are fitted to your vehicle.
Warranty When Fitted Before Vehicle Delivery
When you choose to have Genuine Accessories fitted to your Mitsubishi Triton by an authorized Mitsubishi Dealer before you take delivery of your new vehicle, these accessories are covered under the comprehensive New Car Warranty. This means you benefit from:
- Standard New Car Warranty: 5 years or 100,000 km warranty, whichever comes first.
- Extended New Car Warranty (if eligible): Up to a maximum of 10 years or 200,000km, whichever occurs first.
This extensive coverage mirrors the vehicle’s own warranty, providing long-term protection for your accessories from the moment you start enjoying your new Mitsubishi Triton. However, it’s important to note that certain items may be expressly excluded or have a separate warranty, so always clarify with your dealer.
Warranty When Fitted After Vehicle Delivery
If you decide to add Genuine Accessories to your Mitsubishi Triton after you have already taken delivery, the warranty coverage is still robust, offering the greater of the following:
- 12 months or 20,000km warranty: Whichever occurs first from the accessory fitting date.
- Balance of the New Car Warranty: The remaining period of the original 5 year or 100,000km Standard New Car Warranty.
- Extended New Car Warranty (if eligible): The remaining period of the extended warranty, up to 10 years or 200,000km.
This ensures that even accessories added later are protected, giving you flexibility in customizing your Mitsubishi Triton over time without compromising on warranty security. As with pre-delivery fitments, exclusions and separate warranties may apply to specific accessories.
Warranty When Not Fitted by a Mitsubishi Dealer
For Genuine Accessories that are not fitted by an authorized Mitsubishi Dealer, a warranty of 12 months or 20,000km (whichever occurs first) applies. While genuine parts are guaranteed for quality, professional installation by a Mitsubishi dealer ensures optimal performance and adherence to warranty conditions.
Important Note on Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA) and Front Protection Bars
If your Mitsubishi Triton is equipped with the Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA) system, be aware that installing a Genuine Front Protection Bar will interfere with the vehicle’s radar sensors. Consequently, the FCTA system must be disabled if a Front Protection Bar is fitted. Always discuss this with your Mitsubishi dealer to understand the implications and ensure safe and compliant vehicle operation.
The Risks of Non-Genuine Accessories
Choosing non-genuine accessories for your Mitsubishi Triton might seem appealing, but it comes with significant risks. Non-genuine accessories are not designed, developed, tested, or approved by MMAL. Therefore, Mitsubishi Motors does not warrant, guarantee, support, or make them available in any way.
Crucially, MMAL does not guarantee that non-genuine accessories will be compatible with Australian specification Mitsubishi vehicles, including critical safety systems. Their installation or use could negatively impact your Mitsubishi Triton’s performance, functionality, or structural integrity. To safeguard your vehicle and maintain its warranty, always opt for Genuine Mitsubishi Accessories.
