Assuming that New York law applies (which may not be true if, among other reasons, the contract specifies the application of another jurisdiction's law, or if the warranty company is not a New York company or it wasn't providing its services in New York) , the statute of limitations for a breach of contract is 6 years from the breach. However, parties can contract for a different limitations period. You need to check your contract with the warranty company to see if it provides for a shorter limitations period.
