Purpose-Built Protection for the Trucks That Drive Business
Legacy Truck Warranties provide fully insured aftermarket mechanical breakdown protection for eligible used Class 5 to 8 commercial trucks. Coverage generally works out to roughly 3 to 7 cents per kilometre, depending on the warranty selected: protection measured in cents, value measured in uptime.
A major failure costs more than the repair invoice
Downtime disrupts routes, delays contracts, and puts pressure on working capital long after the truck leaves the shop.
The program is designed to help owners manage the financial risk associated with unexpected covered component failures after the manufacturer's warranty has expired, or where limited factory coverage remains.
A Legacy Truck Warranty helps eligible owners transfer a defined portion of that mechanical breakdown risk to an insured warranty program.

Clear terms and defined protection
Legacy warranty contracts are written to document exactly what is covered and what is required.
- Covered components and exclusions
- Contract term and coverage limits
- Deductibles and owner obligations
- Claim procedures and authorizations
Maintenance responsibilities
Warranty holders maintain the truck to manufacturer recommendations and keep records for services such as:
- Oil, filter, and fluid services
- Cooling and transmission servicing
- Inspection reports and repair invoices
- Preventive and diagnostic work
Every policyholder receives a Legacy warranty dashboard with preloaded reminders for required maintenance and access to claims information. These tools help policyholders keep their Legacy warranty in good standing.
Review the full warranty contract before purchase. Failure to maintain the vehicle or provide required documentation may affect claim eligibility.
The warranty process
Vehicle Information
The truck's year, make, model, mileage, specifications, use, and ownership information are submitted.
Eligibility Review
The vehicle is reviewed against applicable program requirements.
Quote and Plan Selection
Available warranty options are presented based on vehicle eligibility and selected protection.
Application and Documentation
The application is completed through the Legacy digital platform.
Warranty Activation
Coverage begins according to the effective date and conditions stated in the warranty contract.
Claims Support

A more predictable approach to mechanical risk
Legacy Truck Warranties cannot prevent mechanical failures, but they can help qualified owners plan for them.
