At Granger Ford, we’re committed to helping you navigate Ford’s warranty program so you can make the best decisions for protecting your vehicle.
Ford’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty, commonly known as the “bumper-to-bumper” warranty, provides extensive coverage for new vehicles. Let’s break down what’s included:
Warranty Feature | Details |
Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage | Covers nearly every component and system in your vehicle, from the engine to the electrical system, steering, brakes, air conditioning, and more. This warranty protects against defects in materials or workmanship for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. |
Powertrain Limited Warranty | Covers the engine, transmission, and drive system for 5 years or 60,000 miles (5 years/100,000 miles for diesel engines). This extended protection focuses on the core components that keep your vehicle running. |
Safety Restraint System Warranty | Covers seat belts and airbags for 5 years or 60,000 miles, ensuring your safety systems remain functional. |
Corrosion Perforation Warranty | Provides 5 years of coverage with unlimited mileage for corrosion that causes perforation (rust holes) in the vehicle's sheet metal. |
While Ford’s standard warranties are comprehensive, it’s equally important to know what isn’t covered. Here are some common exclusions:
Not Covered | Details |
Wear and Tear | Items subject to normal wear and tear, such as brake pads, tires, wiper blades, and clutch discs. |
Maintenance Services | Routine services like oil changes, filter replacements, tire rotations, and other regular maintenance are not covered. |
Damage from Accidents/Misuse | Repairs needed due to accidents, improper use, or modifications are not included in the warranty coverage. |
Environmental Damage | Damage caused by factors like hail, floods, bird droppings, or tree sap isn’t covered under the standard warranty. |
Always refer to your warranty booklet for a full list of exclusions and limitations.
