Ford, Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company and your dealer are not responsible for any time that you lose, for any inconvenience you might be caused, for the loss of your transportation, or for any other incidental or consequential damages you may have.

You may have some implied warranties. For example, you may have:

  • An implied warranty of merchantability (that the car or light truck is reasonably fit for the general purpose for which it was sold); or
  • An implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose (that the car or light truck is suitable for your special purposes).

    These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time period covered by the written warranties, or to the applicable time period provided by state law, whichever period is shorter.

    What is Covered?

    The New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage is provided by Ford Motor Company or Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company. These coverages include Bumper to Bumper coverage, Safety Restraint coverage, Corrosion coverage, and 6.0L PowerStroke Diesel Engine coverage.

    Bumper To Bumper Coverage
    Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Bumper to Bumper Coverage begins at the warranty start date and lasts for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. During this coverage period, authorized Ford Motor Company dealers will repair, replace, or adjust all parts on your vehicle that are defective in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. Items or conditions that are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty are described in the pdf version of this Warranty.

    Two separate warranties apply to tires on every Ford vehicle. The new Vehicle Limited Warranty provides no-cost coverage for tire repairs, replacements, or adjustments due to defects in factory-supplied materials or workmanship during the Bumper to Bumper Coverage period.

    The tire manufacturer also provides you with a separate tire warranty that may extend beyond the Bumper to Bumper Coverage period. You will find the manufacturer’s tire warranty with the owner literature supplied with your vehicle. During the Bumper to Bumper Coverage period, your authorized Ford Motor Company dealer has the desire to ensure your complete satisfaction at no out-of-pocket cost to you. In addition, you have the option of having a tire warranty repair performed by the tire manufacturer’s authorized service center. If you go to a tire service center during the Ford Bumper to Bumper Coverage period for a covered repair (replacement or adjustment), you may be charged a prorated amount for wear or other charges. If so, you should present your paid invoice detailing the nature of the charges to any Ford Motor Company dealership for refund consideration.

    Safety Restraint Coverage
    Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Safety Restraint Coverage begins at the warranty start date and lasts for five years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

    During this coverage period, Ford Motor Company or Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company warrants your vehicle’s safety belts and air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) against defects in factory-supplied materials or workmanship.

    Corrosion Coverage
    Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Corrosion Coverage begins at the warranty start date and covers body sheet metal panels against corrosion due to a defect in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. Corrosion coverage (which lasts for 5 years, regardless of miles driven) only applies if the corrosion causes perforation (holes) in body sheet metal panels.

    If corrosion does not cause perforation (holes), and is not the result of usage and/or environmental conditions, paint damage is covered under the terms of the Bumper to Bumper Warranty (3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first).

    For damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout) - where there is no factory-related defect involved and therefore no warranty - our policy is to cover paint damage due to airborne material for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

    6.0L PowerStroke Diesel Engine Coverage
    The New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers the direct injection diesel engine and engine components against defects in factory-supplied materials or workmanship for five years after the warranty start date or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

    After the end of the Bumper to Bumper Coverage period (three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first), you must pay a $100 deductible for each repair visit.

    Ford Motor Company or Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company covers the engine and these components: cylinder block, heads and all internal parts, intake and exhaust manifolds, timing gear, harmonic balancer, valve covers, oil pan and pump, water pump, fuel system (excluding fuel lines and fuel tank), high pressure lines, gaskets and seals, glow plugs, turbocharger, powertrain control module, electronic driver unit, injectors, injection pressure sensor, high pressure oil regulator, exhaust back pressure regulator and sensor, camshaft position sensor, accelerator switch.

    NOTE: Some components may also be covered by the Emissions Warranties, with no deductible. For more information, please download the pdf version of the 2006 Warranty.

    Damage Caused by Alteration or Modification

    • alterations or modifications of the vehicle, including the body, chassis, or components, after the vehicle leaves the control of Ford Motor Company
    • tampering with the vehicle, tampering with the emissions systems or with the other parts that affect these systems (for example, but not limited to exhaust and intake systems)
    • the installation or use of a non-Ford Motor Company part (other than certified emissions part) or any part (Ford or non-Ford) designed for off-road use only installed after the vehicle leaves the control of Ford Motor Company, if the installed part fails or causes a Ford part to fail.

    Damage Caused by Use and/or the Environment
    The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover surface rust, deterioration and damage of paint, trim, upholstery, and other appearance items that result from use and/or exposure to the elements. You, as the owner, are responsible for these items.

    • tree sap, bird and bee droppings
    • windstorm, lightening, hail
    • earthquake

    • stone chips, scratches (some examples are on paint and glass)
    • windshield stress cracks. However, limited coverage on windshield stress cracks will be provided for the first 12 months in service, regardless of miles driven, even though caused by use and/or exposure to the elements.

    Maintenance/Wear
    The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover: (1) parts and labor needed to maintain the vehicle; and (2) the replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear. The car owner is responsible for these items.

    Some maintenance and wear items have limited coverage, as follows:

    • Wiper blade replacements are not covered beyond 12 months in service, regardless of miles driven
    • Wheel alignments and tire balancing (unless required by a warranty repair) are not covered beyond 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first
    • Brake pad/lining replacements are not covered beyond 12 months or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

    Tire Wear or Damage
    The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover normal wear or worn-out tires.
