Aprilia RS 457 & Tuono 457 get upgraded standard warranty amidst engine failure concerns
The extended warranty will now be transferrable to the second or third owner on both the RS 457 and Tuono 457 Check Offers Aprilia has updated the standard warranty on the RS 457 and Tuono 457, its made-in-India motorcycles, amid concerns for engine failures. The Italian two-wheeler giant recently issued a clarification about the issues that certain customers brought up. In a bid to hold on to the trust of its customers, the company is now offering a standard warranty of four years/48,000 km on both bikes. The previous standard warranty was three years/36,000 km. The brand has updated its website to reflect the same. Dealers also tell us that the first owners will be able to transfer the extended warranty in case of the vehicle is sold, benefiting future owners. The change in this clause is a step in the right direction and should help build the right trust with the product and the maker. Moreover, it should also help improve the resale value, albeit slightly. The standard warranty covers repair costs due to issues from manufacturing or assembly defects. The company will also replace faulty components in case of issues. Also Read : Aprilia RS 457 First Ride Review: Does the baby RS tug the right strings?
