What does the Ford Corrosion Warranty cover?

The Corrosion Warranty covers body sheet metal panels against corrosion due to defects in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. Warranty coverage will vary based on the material used and if there is perforation (holes).

Corrosion warranty coverage includes:

  • Body sheet metal corrosion damage without perforation, which is covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
  • Rust damage on body panels resulting in perforation, which is covered for 5 years/unlimited miles.
  • Corrosion damage on aluminum panels, which is covered for 5 years/unlimited miles with no requirement for perforation.

If you have a corrosion-related concern, your Ford Dealer can determine if it is covered under warranty.

Notes:

  • The corrosion warranty coverage does not apply if the damage is the result of abnormal usage or extreme environmental conditions. 
  • Rust caused by exposed sheet metal from accidents or normal wear and tear are not defects in material or workmanship.
  • The paint on the vehicle is covered under the terms of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
