New Ford vehicles are covered under several warranties. While the bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties get most of the attention, a Ford battery warranty also protects your purchase in case of malfunction or manufacturing defects. Learn about your Ford battery warranty and what coverage options are available at O’Brien Ford of Shelbyville.
Wet Cell Battery Warranty
The wet cell batteries in a new car fall under the three-year / 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which covers the vehicle’s essential parts. Remember, wet cell batteries are consumable parts, so the warranty doesn’t cover their routine replacement. However, the Ford parts warranty covers replacement parts, so you’re covered there too!
Hybrid, PHEV, and EV Battery Warranties
Ford hybrids, PHEVs, and EVs may deploy their lithium-ion batteries differently, but those batteries all have similar protection under the Ford Electric Vehicle Component warranty. This provides coverage for the battery on applicable models for up to eight years or 100,000 miles. The warranty also covers other electric system components, including your electric plug and the rest of the electric drivetrain.
What About Ford Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles?
That’s a great question. If they fall into one of the categories above, those warranties remain in force from the vehicle’s original in-service date. You have the remainder of the eight years or 100,000 miles of coverage, in addition to other warranties and protections extended to Ford Certified Pre-Owned cars, trucks, and SUVs.
