Is an alternator covered under the Dodge powertrain warranty?
My Dodge Charger has been acting up and the mechanic says the alternator is shot. Will this be covered under the powertrain warranty?

No—a malfunctioning alternator is not covered under Dodge’s powertrain warranty.
Every new Dodge comes with a limited powertrain warranty that lasts 5 years and 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Covered engine components include:
- Cylinder Block and all Internal Parts
- Cylinder Head Assemblies
- Timing Case, Chain, Gears, Belts and Sprockets
- Harmonic Balancer
- Oil Pump
- Water Pump and Housing
- Intake and Exhaust Manifolds
- Flywheel with Starter Ring Gear
- Core Plugs
- Valve Covers
- Oil Pan
- Turbocharger Housing and all Internal Parts
- Turbocharger Wastegate Actuator
- Supercharger
- Fuel Injection Pump and Injectors (Excluding clogged Injectors)
- Seals and Gaskets for Listed Components
Covered transmission components include:
- Transmission Case and all Internal Parts
- Torque Converter
- Flex Plate / Drive Plate
- Transmission Range Switch
- Transmission Control Module
- Bell Housing
- Oil Pan
- Seals and Gaskets for Listed Components
Finally, covered drivetrain components vary, depending on whether your Dodge is front-, rear-, all-, or four-wheel drive.
Items not covered by Dodg’s powertrain warranty includes suspension and steering parts, brake components, wheels, tires, radiators, hoses, alternators, air-conditioning compressors, and accessory drive belts. Manual Transmission Clutch Parts are not covered at any time.
Unfortunately, you’ll likely have to pay out of pocket for a new alternator. Fortunately, you can make up for the expense by lowering your Dodge’s overall ownership costs.
