What does Ford Warranty Cover and Exclusions?
Ford provides a comprehensive suite of warranties to ensure your peace of mind. Our products are backed by guarantees that remain valid in accordance with our established terms and conditions.
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
This warranty covers the repair or replacement of any component identified with a manufacturing or material defect during the warranty period. Repairs are performed free of charge by any authorized Ford dealer. Additionally, this coverage is fully transferable to subsequent owners for the duration of the warranty period.
Parts Warranty
To maintain your vehicle's performance and resale value, authorized Ford dealers use only genuine Ford replacement parts for all warranty repairs. These components meet our rigorous quality and safety standards, ensuring your vehicle continues to operate at peak performance.
Corrosion Protection Warranty
The original body of your Ford vehicle is protected against perforation (rust-through) for a standard period of 3 years (36 months) from the warranty commencement date.
For the Ford Everest, Ranger, Ranger Raptor, and Territory, this coverage is extended to 5 years or 150,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first. Please note that this warranty does not cover surface rust caused by external factors such as scratches or stone chips, and other specific exclusions may apply.
