The Timken Co., a global provider of bearings, has expanded its limited warranty for commercial vehicle wheel end components when purchased and installed together. Fleet owners and operators who replace wheel ends with the full line of Timken wheel end parts receive an added warranty benefit that further underscores the Timken reputation for quality.
“We’re pleased to offer our customers this extra wheel-end system warranty as another complement to our system approach for wheel end part selection,” said Dan Humphrey, Timken manager for the commercial vehicle aftermarket. “Fleet maintainers who choose Timken get extended protection in addition to easy installation, correctly fitting components and reliable performance to keep their vehicles on the road.”
Timken recently expanded its product lineup, now offering a full line of commercial vehicle wheel end components, including tapered roller bearings, seals, nuts, hub caps, hubodometers and accessory tools.
For on-highway vehicles, the limited warranty ranges from five to seven years for a trailer depending on the Timken products purchased and installed together with unlimited mileage, and two to five years for trucks depending on the Timken products purchased and installed together and mileage.
To qualify for this commercial vehicle limited warranty, among other conditions, Timken products including bearings, seals, hubcaps and locking nuts must be purchased and installed together; be installed at a facility certified by Timken as a trained installer of Timken wheel end assembly components; and be registered with Timken at timken.com/cvwarranty within five days of installation. Complete warranty details, including warranty terms, conditions, and limitations, are specific to the bundled products and can be found at timken.com/cvwarranty or contact an authorized Timken distributor.
