Six Things That Are Covered Under Ford’s Standard Warranty

If you want to ensure your car lasts as long as possible, you should learn about the warranty that comes with your new Ford. With your factory vehicle protection plans, you can reduce the cost of vehicle repairs at your Ford dealer. 

1. Mechanical and Electrical Components

All new Ford vehicles come with bumper-to-bumper coverage for three years or 36,000 miles. Bumper-to-bumper coverage essentially covers all the mechanical and electrical parts of your vehicle that are not covered by other plans. There are only a few exclusions for this plan, such as wear and tear items like windshield wipers and motor oil. 

2. Powertrain

The powertrain is the heart of your car and coverage for your powertrain will often include specific components of your engine, axles, wheels, and drivetrain. Ford powertrain coverage lasts for five years or 60,000 miles for new vehicles. 

3. Diesel Engine

Diesel engines have a few particular features that require special coverage. Under this vehicle protection plan, parts of your diesel engine that are covered include direct injection engines, gaskets, seals, sensors, and water pumps. This coverage lasts for five years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

4. Corrosion

Corrosion coverage is designed to protect you from the cost of vehicle repairs if the metal panels and aluminum parts of your vehicle’s body are damaged by rust or corrosion. This plan lasts for five years with unlimited miles. 

5. Safety Restraint

The safety restraints in your vehicle, such as seat belts, are also covered by Ford. This particular coverage will last for five years or up to 60,000 miles. Coverage for the safety restraint components of your vehicle is a unique offering from Ford so your vehicle can maintain the highest level of safety possible.

6. Hybrid Components

Finally, if you purchase a hybrid Ford, you will also have the benefit of coverage for all hybrid and related components for your vehicle. Specifically, this coverage should protect your hybrid battery, hybrid motor, regenerative braking system, and other components related to the hybrid elements of your vehicle. This coverage will last for eight years or up to 80,000 miles. 

Should You Talk to Your Ford Dealer About an Extended Vehicle Protection Plan?

While the factory coverage for your Ford vehicle is generous, it might be a good idea to consider purchasing extended vehicle protection.  These plans can extend the coverage of your vehicle protection for several more years so you can have continued peace of mind. It’s best to wait for your factory coverage to expire before you purchase additional coverage so you can get the most out of your vehicle protection plan.

A vehicle protection plan can protect you from the cost of unexpected vehicle repairs. To learn more about your vehicle protection options, call Conway Ford today.
