What does the dealer warranty cover?

The dealer warranty primarily covers components installed by the manufacturer. This includes aspects of the home that are integral to its construction and function, such as the electrical systems, plumbing, and structural elements that were part of the original build. These warranty protections are crucial as they ensure that any deficiencies or failures in the manufactured home that arise directly from manufacturing defects are addressed.

Regarding the other options, the home itself is generally covered under broader home warranties or specific manufacturer warranties rather than solely by the dealer warranty. Items added to the home, such as decks and skirting, are typically not covered by the dealer warranty since they are considered aftermarket additions, and warranties for these items would need to be sourced separately, usually from the contractor or supplier who installed them. Lastly, warranty claims are not limited to a 30-day period; most dealer warranties have a defined duration, often longer, allowing for claims to be made within that timeframe, accommodating time to identify any issues after the sale.
