Your Subaru's powertrain warranty protects the major components that make your car go: the engine, transmission, transfer case (on AWD models), and drivetrain. If any of these have a manufacturing defect, repairs are covered.

What it doesn't cover are wear items like brake pads, spark plugs, or routine maintenance-those are your responsibility. Powertrain warranties typically last longer and go further in mileage than bumper-to-bumper coverage, giving you solid long-term peace of mind on your biggest investment.
