  • Carrera Warranty Return Info

    Posting this as a sticky

    Carrera has a one year warranty on most items effective from the date of purchase.

    To submit a warranty claim send the item, a copy of your receipt and your return mailing info to:


    Carrera of America
    197 Route 18 South
    Suite 307N
    East Brunswick, NJ 08816

    NOTE: This is a recent address change for C of A

    Mark "Warranty Return" clearly on the outside of the package

    Their other contact info is as follows:
    Phone: +1 609 409 8510
    Fax: +1 609 409 8610
    Email: [email protected]
    Web: www.carrera-toys.com


    Some dealers will work with you on the defective item - I know that Carreraslots is one dealer that will work with you directly on a warranty issue, so check with your dealer first

    Most of the warranty returns I have made have been burned up chips in cars

    If you have a car that burned up a chip, it has been acceptable to just send the defective chip in with the receipt. That can be helpful if you have a car that you've put tires on, etc. I just did that a couple of weeks ago and got the replacement chip back today. A chip in a small bubble pack envelope will ship first class for a couple of bucks - easier than sending back the whole car

      Thanks for posting Ed. I thought I remembered Harry saying something a while back about them possibly moving. Glad to see they are still around.

        I’m I hallucinating or on the certificate of warranty does it not say 24 months from date of purchase for warranty. Had a couple controller lane switches go bad and was denied 🙁. Was wondering if things had changed since it was printed?

          You are not wrong. Carrera warranty used to be 2 years. It is now 1 year. It changed a few years ago [ 3-5yrs. can't remember].

              I started with my Carrera addiction in January 2013 and it was down to 1 year at that point....

                Wow... that long ago ? Uugh! My memory is getting worse than I thought. Oh well. I'll forget about this in a few minutes and all will be right with the world again

                Even at 1 year, it's still the best warranty in the business

                  I received a car from Carreraslots.com and it would not run out of the box. All I had to do was send them a picture of the car and they sent a replacement. To me, that's great service.
