Understanding Ford’s Standard Engine Warranty

Ford recognizes the importance of a dependable engine, which is why the standard warranty offers comprehensive coverage. Here’s what’s included:

Warranty Feature

Details

Powertrain Limited Warranty

The 5-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty covers essential components of your Ford’s powertrain, including the engine, transmission, and drive system.

Diesel Engine Warranty

Ford’s diesel engine-equipped vehicles often receive longer coverage—5 years/100,000 miles—reflecting Ford’s confidence in the durability of its diesel engines.

What’s Covered

Major components such as the engine block, cylinder heads, crankshaft, pistons, valves, timing chain, water pump, and fuel pump are included in the coverage.

What’s Not Covered

Routine wear and tear items, maintenance services, and damage from misuse or accidents are excluded. Spark plugs, hoses, and filters fall under routine maintenance.

The Powertrain Warranty provides extensive protection for your Ford’s core components, ensuring that defects in materials or workmanship are covered for the duration of the warranty period.

Common Engine Issues & Warranty Coverage

Even with regular care and maintenance, engines can encounter problems. Here are some common issues that could arise and how they might be covered under warranty:
