Ford Warranty
What Does Your Ford Warranty Cover?
When you drive home in a new Ford from Rodeo Ford in Goodyear, Arizona, you're backed by one of the most comprehensive Ford warranty packages in the automotive industry. Every new Ford vehicle comes with a suite of factory-backed protections designed to give you confidence and peace of mind. You’ll have extra confidence whether you're commuting across the Phoenix metro area or heading out on a weekend adventure.
Your new Ford vehicle warranty includes several layers of coverage that protect different parts of your vehicle for different lengths of time. From bumper-to-bumper basics to long-term powertrain protection, corrosion coverage, safety systems, and even roadside assistance, Ford has you covered. Below, we'll walk through each type of warranty coverage so you know exactly what's included with your new Ford and how Rodeo Ford's service team can help when you need it.
Ford Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty
The foundation of your Ford warranty is the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, often called the Ford bumper-to-bumper warranty. This coverage protects virtually every component of your new Ford for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Here's what you should know about your bumper-to-bumper coverage:
What's covered: The bumper-to-bumper warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship across most vehicle components, including electrical systems, climate controls, interior features, and more.
What's not covered: Routine maintenance items and normal wear parts are excluded. This includes tires, brake pads, wiper blades, filters, and fluids.
Transferable coverage: The New Vehicle Limited Warranty is transferable to subsequent owners, which can help maintain your Ford's resale value.
No cost to you: Covered repairs are performed at no charge at any authorized Ford dealership, including Rodeo Ford's service center right here in Goodyear, AZ.

Ford Powertrain Warranty
Beyond the bumper-to-bumper coverage, every new Ford comes with a Ford powertrain warranty that protects the most critical mechanical systems in your vehicle for a longer period. Your powertrain warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. But what exactly does "powertrain" mean? In simple terms, the powertrain includes the major components that make your vehicle move:
- Engine: Internal engine parts, engine block, and cylinder heads
- Transmission: Automatic or manual transmission components, including the transfer case on four-wheel-drive models
- Drivetrain: Front and rear axle assemblies, driveshaft, and related components
Diesel engine owners get even more protection. Ford's Power Stroke diesel engine warranty extends coverage to 5 years or 100,000 miles, recognizing the specialized engineering and heavy-duty use that diesel-powered Ford trucks demand. If you drive a Ford hybrid or electric vehicle, you also benefit from an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty on hybrid and electric unique components. This includes the high-voltage battery, electric motor, and related systems, giving EV and hybrid owners extra confidence for the long haul.
Additional Ford Warranty Protections
Your Ford warranty goes beyond the basics. Several additional protections are included with every new Ford purchased at Rodeo Ford:
Safety Restraint System Warranty
Coverage: 5 years or 60,000 miles
What's included: Airbags, seatbelts, and related safety restraint components. This ensures that your vehicle's most important safety features remain protected for years after your purchase.
Corrosion (Perforation) Warranty
Coverage: 5 years with unlimited mileage
What's included: Repair or replacement of body sheet metal panels that develop rust-through (perforation) due to a defect in materials or workmanship
While Arizona's dry climate means corrosion is less common than in snow-belt states, this coverage still gives you peace of mind, especially if you travel or plan to relocate.
Federal Emissions Warranty
Coverage: Varies by component — major emissions components such as catalytic converters and engine control modules may be covered for up to 8 years or 80,000 miles
What's included: Components related to your vehicle's emissions system, ensuring your Ford stays compliant with federal and state emissions standards
Ford Roadside Assistance
Coverage: 5 years or 60,000 miles
What's included: Towing to the nearest Ford dealership, flat tire changes, fuel delivery, jump-starts, and lockout assistance.
Help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you're on the road in Goodyear, across Phoenix, or anywhere in the country, Ford has your back.
