How Long Is the CFMOTO Warranty?
New petrol-powered CFMOTO ATVs and UTVs supplied through the authorised UK dealer network include a 24-month manufacturer warranty, starting from the date of first retail delivery.
The warranty is designed to protect owners against approved defects in materials and workmanship that occur during normal operation. It provides reassurance that genuine manufacturing faults can be assessed and, where appropriate, repaired using genuine CFMOTO parts through the authorised dealer network.

What Does the CFMOTO Warranty Cover?
The CFMOTO manufacturer warranty protects against faults caused by manufacturing defects rather than normal wear and tear or accidental damage.
Manufacturing Defects
If a component fails because of a defect in materials or workmanship, it may be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, provided the vehicle has been maintained in accordance with the warranty requirements.
Genuine Replacement Parts
Where a warranty claim is approved, repairs are completed using genuine CFMOTO replacement parts. This helps ensure your ATV or UTV continues to meet the manufacturer’s original specification and performance standards.
Approved Labour
Approved warranty repairs include the labour required to diagnose and rectify manufacturing defects through the authorised CFMOTO dealer network.
Although every warranty claim is assessed individually, the aim of the manufacturer’s warranty is to provide owners with confidence that genuine manufacturing faults will be resolved professionally.
What Isn’t Covered Under the Warranty?
Like every manufacturer warranty, certain items naturally wear during normal use and are therefore considered part of routine ownership rather than warranty repairs.
Examples of normal wear items include:
- Tyres
- Brake pads
- Brake discs
- Bearings
- Filters
- Oils and lubricants
- Bulbs
- Drive belts
- Routine servicing items
These components require regular inspection and replacement as part of normal maintenance.
Common Reasons Warranty Claims May Be Declined
The manufacturer warranty is intended to cover genuine manufacturing defects rather than problems resulting from incorrect maintenance or misuse.
Examples include:
- Missed scheduled servicing.
- Incorrect maintenance procedures.
- Unauthorised modifications.
- Competition or racing use.
- Accident damage.
- Water ingestion.
- Incorrect fuels or lubricants.
- Repairs carried out using non-approved methods or components.
Following the manufacturer’s operating and servicing recommendations is the best way to help protect your warranty throughout ownership.
Does the Warranty Cover Commercial Use?
Many CFMOTO ATVs and UTVs are purchased for demanding working environments, including farms, estates, forestry operations and commercial businesses.
The manufacturer warranty is designed to support normal intended use of the vehicle. However, owners should always operate and maintain their machine in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and warranty terms.
Why Authorised Dealer Servicing Matters
Maintaining your warranty involves more than simply carrying out routine maintenance.
Scheduled servicing by an authorised CFMOTO dealer helps ensure:
- The correct service intervals are followed.
- Genuine CFMOTO parts are fitted where required.
- Manufacturer updates are completed where applicable.
- Your service history is correctly recorded.
- Your ATV or UTV continues to operate safely and reliably.
Regular servicing not only helps maintain your manufacturer’s warranty but also supports the long-term reliability and resale value of your machine.

Why Buying Through an Authorised Dealer Matters
Purchasing your CFMOTO through an authorised dealer helps ensure your vehicle receives the correct pre-delivery inspection, manufacturer registration and warranty activation before delivery.
Authorised dealers also have access to genuine CFMOTO parts, technical information and manufacturer support, helping to maintain your vehicle throughout its ownership.
What Happens If You Develop a Fault?
If you believe your CFMOTO has developed a manufacturing fault during the warranty period, you should contact the authorised CFMOTO dealer who supplied your vehicle.
They will normally:
- Inspect the vehicle.
- Diagnose the issue.
- Determine whether the fault falls within the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Submit a warranty claim where appropriate.
Understanding the claims process helps ensure any potential manufacturing defect can be assessed as efficiently as possible.
