Ways to Protect Your Cat^® Semi Truck Engine Warranty

Do you know what your Caterpillar Limited Warranty is? It’s an unlimited-mileage, 12-month standard warranty¹, and it comes with any new or remanufactured Cat^® part you purchase for your semi truck engine. Cat Reman engines come with similar warranties as well.

The benefits include:

• Repairs at any authorized Cat dealer

• Coverage for defective parts, even if they weren’t installed by a Cat dealer (as long as the installation itself didn’t cause the failure)

• Engine oil, coolant and filter replacement

• Resultant damage from the failure of a covered component

And if getting repairs at a Cat dealer doesn’t work for you, you can just exchange the defective part at that authorized dealer.

Meanwhile, Cat ESC options are designed to fit your business perfectly. Cat ESC helps prevent unexpected repair bills. The plans are also a great way to hedge your future repair costs against inflation. That’s because Cat ESC covers the cost of parts and labor on not just the covered parts that fail — but also any resultant damage to other Cat parts.

For example, if your water pump goes out and takes your alternator with it, both parts will be replaced with Cat ESC. Better yet, ESC plans stay with the truck — no matter who the owner is. That means it may increase the value of your truck if you decide to sell it.

Regardless of your on-highway truck engine needs, your Cat dealer has an ESC plan to give you the extra protection — and peace of mind — you need. Let’s check them out.

It also covers factory and dealer workmanship and resultant damage. Cat Engine Overhaul Protection is available for Cat on-highway truck engines in 18-, 24-, 36- or 48-month terms.
