What does Warranty Cover and Exclude?

Ford New Vehicle Warranty

This covers the repair or replacement of any parts found to be defective as a result of a manufacturing or material defect within the warranty period. This part will be repaired or replaced free of charge by any authorised dealer, regardless of any changes of vehicle ownership during the Ford New Vehicle Warranty period.

Parts Warranty

Authorised Ford Dealers only use original Ford replacement parts for warranty repairs. These parts meet our stringent quality and safety standards, which means the performance and the resale value of your Ford should not be compromised.

Corrosion Protection Warranty

Your Ford original body is covered against perforation for Ford New Vehicle Warranty period from the vehicle's warranty commencement date. However, surface rusting caused by scratches or stone chips, isn’t covered and other exclusions apply.
