It Should not be capitalise just because it is paid at the time of purchase of capital asset.It is an defered revenue expenditure to be amortised over warrantee period.

It should be treated as Capital Expenditure iand if the same had been done before the incorporation of the company then simultaneously we can treat this as Preliminary Exp and write it off as every year.

The Warranty charges are over and above i.e. additional from the cost of vehicle, and is shown seperately in the Purchase Invoice.
While purchasing the vehicle we also buy Insurance Policy and the same is not being Capitalised.
Like wise, Additional Warranty Charges is expenses and be booked like pre-paid expenses and to be booked for the additional year/s for which warranty is extended.

if the warrantee expenses are optional then the same will be incurred for the maintenance of the asset, in this case it should be charged to revenue, other wise vice versa.
