Protect your Dodge, Jeep, Ram, or Chrysler with genuine coverage that goes the extra mile
A Mopar Extended Warranty helps you avoid unexpected repair costs by extending factory-backed protection beyond your original vehicle warranty. But what exactly is covered, and how does it work? This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, including detailed breakdowns of all three Mopar Vehicle Protection plans.
What Is a Mopar Extended Warranty?
A Mopar Extended Warranty, officially known as Mopar Vehicle Protection, is an optional plan that continues coverage after your original factory warranty expires. Backed by Stellantis (formerly FCA), it’s the only extended warranty built specifically for Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler vehicles.
Unlike third-party plans, Mopar Vehicle Protection gives you:
- Factory-trained technicians
- Genuine Mopar parts
- Nationwide service at any Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram dealer
You can choose from three levels of coverage:
- Maximum Care
- Added Care Plus
- Powertrain Care
Each plan offers different coverage levels, terms, and cost benefits depending on your needs.

Mopar Extended Warranty: What’s Covered and How It Works
So, what exactly is covered, and how does a Mopar Extended Warranty work?
Coverage depends on which plan you choose. Maximum Care gives you the closest thing to full bumper-to-bumper protection. Added Care Plus focuses on high-cost mechanical systems. Powertrain Care protects your engine and transmission, the heart of your vehicle.
How it works:
- Choose your plan, term, and deductible
- Get covered immediately (if your vehicle is still under factory warranty)
- Pay one upfront cost or finance it over time
- When repairs are needed, bring your vehicle to any Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram dealer
- Your Mopar plan covers the bill, minus any deductible
You get factory-quality repairs with no guesswork, no third-party hassles, and no hidden fees.
