Hi! I'm an owner of a 2010 prius with 206k miles and i got an error code P0401 today. A quick search point me toward this thread relating to the EGR valve and Toyota extended the warranty on it. warranty enhancement; P0401 EGR Valve | PriusChat Can someone clarify if I'm covered under the warranty? Primary coverage is till March 31, 2017 but it says 5 years so I guess my 2010 is no longer covered? It also has 206k miles so I don't think I'm covered under the secondary coverage. Someone please help me clarify these warranty terms.
There isn't any 5 year condition in the warranty enhancement at all. The primary coverage is until March 31, 2017, regardless of mileage, period. That would put you beyond the secondary coverage, if that mattered, which it doesn't, because you're still covered under primary until the end of March. (terms) -Chap
I'd be surprised if it's covered, but, should always ask. The "March 31" date is specific to that vehicle and represents 5 years from the date it was placed in service. I actually got the car in April, but, Toyota decided to roundup to the previous month in their records. It will be a different date for other vehicles. Unless the 2010 was placed in service in December 2011, it appears past the primary coverage.
I got I'm pretty sure he is fully covered. I see that you are the person that posted the letter in the other thread. I don't have my letter anymore (if I even received it... I was not living at home at the time and not getting my mail forwarded), so I can't go by that. But I don't know why you think the "March 31" date represents 5 years from the date of service. They would have just said 5 years in that case, like they said "10 years from date of first use" in the secondary coverage part. My car is a 2010 , and it was covered fully under this warranty enhancement when I had it taken care of this past July. It had over 150,000 miles at that point too. I didn't need to fight them for it either - the dealer was happy to take care of me.
