Husqvarna is stepping up its game with a new four-year Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty, aimed at reassuring riders after past concerns about reliability—especially those nagging camshaft issues. This move by the Pierer Mobility Group is part of a broader effort to rebuild trust in the brand and its bikes.

What’s Covered?

If you’re riding one of these models, you’re in luck:

• Svartpilen 801
• Vitpilen 801
• Norden 901
• Norden 901 Expedition

This warranty is available worldwide at no extra cost and kicks in when you complete your first service at an authorized Husqvarna dealer. Plus, it’s fully transferable, so if you sell your bike, the new owner still gets the coverage. That’s a nice bonus for resale value!

What’s the Catch?

Of course, there are some rules:

• Your bike needs to be serviced by an authorized Husqvarna dealer following the recommended schedule.
• Only 2023, 2024, and 2025 model-year bikes sold after December 13, 2024, qualify.
• Not all Husqvarna bikes are covered—this is just for the LC8c platform.
• Husqvarna can change or discontinue this warranty at any time.

Why Now?

This move follows a similar warranty rollout by KTM, another Pierer Mobility brand, which also extended coverage for its LC8c-powered models. Given the brand’s recent reliability concerns, this is clearly an effort to win back customers and boost confidence in Husqvarna’s machines.

But will it work? That depends on whether owners feel this warranty is enough of a safety net to ease their concerns—or if they’d rather wait and see how these bikes perform over time.

Good News for Buyers?

For anyone looking at a Norden 901, Norden 901 Expedition, Svartpilen 801, or Vitpilen 801, this warranty is a solid perk. It provides extra peace of mind, as long as you stick to the service requirements. Plus, it makes second-hand bikes more attractive since the warranty is transferred to the bike.

Final Thoughts

Husqvarna is making a big move here, and it’s definitely a step in the right direction. But a warranty only matters if the bikes hold up well in the first place. Hopefully, this signals more than just damage control and instead marks a real commitment to long-term reliability.
