Ford New Car Warranty: An Overview
The Ford new car warranty ensures the quality of your new investment and Ford’s commitment to meeting industry standards for the best experience possible. Upon purchasing your Ford, your new vehicle will be covered under two primary warranties for extensive coverage against defective materials or workmanship. These warranties include the New Vehicle Limited Warranty and the Powertrain Warranty. Learn more about the specifics of each warranty, including what is covered, estimated cost, and available extended warranties for extra coverage.
New Vehicle Warranty Coverage
Under the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your Ford will be protected for up to 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, with bumper-to-bumper coverage against factory defects, including tires, faulty parts, and workmanship. If defective parts are discovered during the limited warranty timeframe, Ford will cover the cost of repairs and replacement parts. Though wear and tear over time is normal, it is not covered under the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty. For more coverage options, this Ford warranty is available with optional extended coverage opportunities for more coverage of different vehicle components.
Powertrain Protection
The powertrain of your Ford is essential. Ford offers limited coverage for powertrain protection for up to 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty protects vital engine parts like the engine cylinder block and heads, transmission internals, the drivetrain, and the rear-wheel drive system. Customers who wish to obtain additional coverage for the powertrain of their Ford can find extended coverage through available warranties, including:
Power Stroke® Diesel Warranty
If your Ford is powered by diesel fuel, the Power Stroke® Diesel Warranty offers coverage for the Power Stroke® engine for up to 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Safety Restraint Warranty
Your safety is our top priority behind the wheel of a new Ford, and our Safety Restraint Warranty helps protect your family from faulty vehicle safeguards like airbags and seatbelts. The Safety Restraint Warranty provides coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Corrosion Warranty
The Corrosion Warranty protects Ford models against rust and corrosion of body sheet metal for various durations.
3 years or 36,000 miles for cars and light-duty trucks covering non-perforating damage.
