When you buy a new vehicle you’ll want to know that your investment is protected by a comprehensive warranty package. Ford’s is one of the best there is, with coverage guaranteed to give you peace of mind. We here at your local Ford dealer are proud of the warranty Ford offers on new vehicles, so we wanted to give you this quick guide to the main things included in your Ford new car warranty!
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty is commonly referred to as the “bumper-to-bumper” warranty, because that’s what it covers: pretty much everything on your car between the two bumpers! This warranty covers just about every major component of your vehicle, including the powertrain, suspension, and more. Your new Ford is covered under this warranty for up to 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever of the two comes first.
Powertrain Warranty
Even after your new Ford passes the 3-year mark and is no longer covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Ford’s warranty package still offers you lots of protection with the Powertrain Warranty, which covers the powertrain of your vehicle (i.e., the engine, transmission, axles, and wheels). These essential components of your vehicle are covered under this warranty for up to 5 years or 60,000 miles.
Corrosion Warranty
The mechanical integrity of your car is important, but
drivers know that body rust is another constant threat to a vehicle’s
integrity. Luckily, it’s one that Ford’s warranty package accounts for! The
Corrosion Warranty covers the cost of any kind of rust perforation in your
vehicle’s body panels, and it does so for up to 5 years, with unlimited mileage.
Emissions Defect Warranty
The Emissions Defect Warranty is designed to give drivers
peace of mind by guaranteeing that your any repairs or replacements to your
vehicle’s catalytic converter, electronic emissions control unit, and onboard
emissions diagnostic devices are covered for up to 8 years or 80,000 miles.
Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Battery Warranty
With so many drivers making the switch to electric or hybrid vehicles, it’s important to ensure there’s coverage for electric and hybrid vehicles, too! This aspect of the warranty package covers electric drivetrains and batteries for up to 8 years or 80,000 miles.
