What is the Ford Service Parts Warranty?

Properly installed Ford and Ford remanufactured parts have warranties with coverage periods that vary based on the type of part, where it was purchased, and the installation method. 

Ford will repair or replace any new Ford or Motorcraft® part found to be defective in factory-supplied material or workmanship during the Service Parts Warranty or the remaining portion of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, whichever provides greater coverage. 

Parts Warranty Start Date

The Warranty Start Date for a new or remanufactured Ford part differs based on how it was purchased. 

Dealer-Installed: The warranty starts on the date of installation.

Sold Over-The-Counter

  • Retail Purchaser: The warranty starts on the date of sale.
  • Fleet, General Installer, or Wholesaler: The warranty starts on the date the part or accessory is installed.

Sold by a Third-Party Vendor: If your part was purchased from eBay, Amazon, or a similar store, contact the seller for warranty coverage information. These products are not covered by the Ford Service Parts Warranty.

Parts Warranty Coverage

When a service part or accessory fails and is replaced or exchanged under the Service Parts Warranty, the replacement part or accessory assumes only the remaining, unexpired portion of the warranty of the original replacement part or accessory. The warranty period does not start over with subsequent repairs.

The Service Parts Warranty does not cover concerns resulting from normal wear or maintenance (e.g., brake linings, spark plugs, oil changes, oil filters, air filters, or tire rotation).

Your Ford Dealer is in the best position to determine if a part is covered by the Service Parts Warranty.

Notes:

  • Some parts may have a unique Service Parts Warranty (e.g., Motorcraft engine and transmission assemblies). See your Ford Dealer for additional details and restrictions.
  • If a previous owner had a repair completed with Service Parts Warranty coverage, you can take advantage of the remaining warranty as long as you have their sales slip or repair order.
