New MODENAS Bikes Sold To Enjoy Extended Warranty Option

From 1 September 2022, Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional Sdn Bhd a.k.a. MODENAS has a new extended warranty programme in effect for bike models sold and registered from that date onwards. The list of Modenas motorcycles covered by this new extended programme are:

• Kriss 110
• Karisma 125S
• Elegan 250
• Pulsar RS200
• Pulsar NS200
• Dominar D400

The new extended warranty (EW) programme is an option that provides an additional 2 years or 65,000 km (whichever comes first) of coverage. This is an optional third-party functional warranty that is being offered by MODENAS’ insurance partner i.e. Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad which serves as the EW programme provider, with Allianz Partners Malaysia providing the towing services. The EW programme covers sudden and unexpected motorcycle failure of selected factory-fitted mechanical and electrical components.

“As insurers, our focus is firmly on being there for customers and providing them with a positive experience during their time of need, and even more so now when Malaysian households are financially vulnerable due to rising costs. We are delighted to partner with MODENAS to offer this EW programme that offers riders fast, easy, and seamless experience with maintenance and repairs. Moreover, the programme also serves as an endorsement of Allianz General’s track record as a trusted insurer that delivers the best for its customers,” said Allianz General CEO, Sean Wang.

Features offered by the MODENAS Extended Warranty Programme include:

• 24 hours, 365 days Roadside Breakdown Assistance (RBA).
• The RBA extends its towing services to the nearest MODENAS authorised service centre within 100 km radius.
• Fully transferable on resale of bike.
• Offer better resale value of bike.
• Use of genuine MODENAS spares: 30,000+ parts that come with a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty.

“If you want a more targeted protection than what MODENAS is currently offering, you may want to consider the EW programme where it offers multiple levels of coverage that has been tailored to your motorcyle’s needs. The EW programme protects both your motorcycle and wallet from costly repairs due to mechanical and electrical breakdown. In addition, your motorcycles are rest assured of the usage of genuine MODENAS parts”, said Roslan Roskan Chief Executive Officer of MODENAS, a subsidiary of DRB-HICOM Berhad.

Maintenance and repair of motorcycles can cost up to one-fifth of the original purchase price hence to avoid unexpected financial costs, the company is providing such value-added options for its customers. The transferability of the extended warranty also ensures that the bike is covered after resale to a new owner. This also helps improve the bike’s resale value.

Allianz Partners Malaysia CEO Elias Wahidi said, “We are delighted that MODENAS has chosen APM to provide its EW solution. The partnership will provide extra peace of mind for MODENAS customers when making their purchase decisions, knowing the vehicle is protected with a warranty. We are very much looking forward to developing our partnership with MODENAS and to supporting their customers. In addition, we’re confident that our partnership will help stimulate the quality of MODENAS motorcycles in the coming years.”

Allianz Partners South East Asia CEO, Steve Watkins, added: “We are excited to be working with an innovative player such as MODENAS. Allianz Partners has been a strategic partner for the Automotive Industry for many years, and we embrace the opportunity to work primarily with a national manufacturer in the motorcycle industry that is helping to shape the industry’s future. We look forward to working closely together in Malaysia and any opportunities for a future programme”.
