How long does a Ford warranty last in Canada?

Ford Canada new vehicle limited warranty: how long it lasts and what’s covered 

When you consider a new Ford vehicle, warranty coverage is an important aspect to consider. Comparing warranty coverage across brands can help you figure out if a Ford is the car for you. At Sherwood Ford in Sherwood Park, AB, we’re happy to discuss warranty coverage, limited Ford warranties, extended warranty coverage for your Ford, and any other questions you have about Ford warranties. For now, let’s dive into the Ford Canada new vehicle limited warranty to discover how long Ford warranties last and what’s covered. 



Ford vehicle warranty coverage length 

First, let’s discuss how long warranty coverage on a Ford lasts and what that means for you. 

How long does Ford warranty coverage last in years and km?

Why is warranty coverage important? 

Warranty coverage can help you save money on major repairs. A longer warranty can often bring drivers greater peace of mind for their investment. 

What matters more, the length of coverage in years or km? 

You can think of the warranty coverage in years as the longest possible length of warranty coverage. The mileage or km limitation only comes into play if you drive more than the average driver. If you know you put many miles on your car each year, there’s a greater chance that your warranty coverage won’t last for the entire number of years.  



Ford vehicle warranty coverage components 

Now, let’s discuss what components of your car are covered by a warranty and how a warranty works. 

Are all repairs covered by a Ford vehicle warranty? 

All repairs that are due to a manufacturing defect are covered by a Ford vehicle warranty. Repairs due to wear and tear, naturally occurring damage, car accidents, and some other situations aren’t covered.  

Are all components of my car covered by a warranty? 

Under the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty, the complete vehicle is covered. That means that for three years or 60,000 km, whichever comes first, Ford of Canada will cover the cost of any warranty repairs. This is what basic coverage means. The other warranties listed in the table above extend warranty coverage for specific vehicle components. 

How can I find what components are covered by a warranty? 

View your online warranty guide on Ford Canada’s website. These warranty guides have a complete list of all vehicle components covered by the various warranties listed in the table above. Alternatively, you can ask a member of our Sherwood Ford service team about warranty coverage.
