How long is Ford engine warranty?

The engine warranty, typically described as Ford’s powertrain warranty, generally lasts five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, for most new Ford vehicles in the United States. Terms can vary by country, model year, and vehicle type.

In practice, this protection covers key powertrain components such as the engine, transmission, and drivetrain when a manufacturing defect leads to a failure. Always check your owner's manual or with a local dealer for the exact terms in your region and on your specific model.

What does Ford’s powertrain warranty cover?

Before listing the main components usually included under the powertrain warranty, it’s important to note that coverage can vary by region and model. The following components are typically encompassed under Ford’s powertrain warranty in the United States.

• Engine and its internal components


• Transmission and transaxle


• Drivetrain components (driveshafts, axles, and related parts)


• Related powertrain control modules and sensors that affect propulsion

Coverage is intended for defects in materials or workmanship that affect the covered components. It does not usually cover routine maintenance, wear-and-tear items, or damage from accidents, misuse, or improper maintenance. Always verify exact inclusions and exclusions in your warranty booklet or at your local Ford dealer.

Geography and model variations

Warranty terms can differ by country, vehicle type, and fleet status. Here are common regional patterns, with the caveat that the dealer or official Ford documentation should be consulted for your exact terms.

• United States and Puerto Rico: Powertrain Limited Warranty commonly listed as 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.


• Canada and certain other markets: Powertrain Limited Warranty often published as 5 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.


• Fleet, commercial, or special-use vehicles: Terms may vary from the standard consumer warranty; a dealer can confirm exact coverage.

For electrified powertrains, including hybrids and fully electric models, Ford typically provides separate battery and related component warranties. Battery warranty terms are published in Ford’s electrified vehicle documentation and can differ by model and region. Always review the specific warranty booklet for your vehicle.

How to verify and claim under the warranty

Before filing a claim, confirm your vehicle is within the warranty period and that the issue qualifies under coverage. The steps below help you verify and pursue a repair under warranty.

• Locate your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the original purchase date to confirm years/miles remaining on the warranty.


• Consult the owner’s manual or the Ford customer portal for an itemized list of covered components and exclusions.


• Contact or visit an authorized Ford dealer with your VIN and service history to diagnose the issue.


• Keep all service records and repair orders in case warranty documentation is requested.

If a claim is denied or you need clarification, escalate to the dealership’s service manager or contact Ford customer service for an official review. Regional differences may affect eligibility and required documentation.

Related warranties you should know

In addition to the powertrain warranty, Ford offers other coverage that may apply to your vehicle. Understanding these can help you plan maintenance and potential repairs beyond the engine itself.

• New Vehicle Limited Warranty (bumper-to-bumper): Typically covering most components not excluded from wear and tear for a shorter period than the powertrain warranty.


• Corrosion/Perforation warranty: Coverage for body corrosion and perforation, with terms varying by region.


• Battery and electrified powertrain warranties: Separate terms for hybrid and electric models, including battery coverage specifics.

Always confirm the exact duration and coverage with your local Ford dealer, as terms can differ by country, model, and whether the vehicle is new, used, or part of a fleet program.

Summary

For most new Ford vehicles in the United States, the engine-focused powertrain warranty runs five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Regional terms can vary, and electrified powertrains have their own battery-related warranties. Always verify the specifics with your Ford dealer and review the warranty booklet for your exact model and location. Planning ahead and keeping thorough service records can help ensure smooth warranty coverage if a covered powertrain issue arises.
