Understanding Ford’s Extended Warranty

This extra warranty protection, known as the Ford Protect Extended Service Plan (ESP), comes in various packages, each offering different levels of coverage. You get to choose which package best suits your driving needs and matches how long you plan to keep your Ford.

The Basics: PowertrainCARE

The most basic level of extended service plan available from Ford, PowertrainCare covers 29 critical engine and transmission components. Coverage includes engine parts including the oil pump, water pump, and timing chain, transmission components like the torque converter and transmission range switch, and components for both rear-wheel and front-wheel drive systems.

The Next Level: BaseCARE

Stepping up from PowertrainCARE, BaseCARE covers 84 components, adding more parts to the mix. This additional coverage includes steering components, including the steering wheel and column, brake parts such as the master cylinder and brake booster, and electrical components like switches, motors, and instruments.

Comprehensive Coverage: ExtraCARE

For even more comprehensive coverage, ExtraCARE takes things up a notch, covering 113 key components in your Ford. This further coverage includes more detailed electrical components like the alternator, wiper motors, electronic modules, radiator, thermostat, and other cooling system parts, as well as the factory-installed audio system.

The Ultimate Safety Net: PremiumCARE

PremiumCARE is Ford’s most comprehensive extended service plan, covering an impressive 1,000+ components. This extended coverage encompasses all major systems, including engine, transmission, steering, brakes, front and rear suspension, and electrical and air conditioning systems. It also covers high-tech elements like sensors, keyless entry, and GPS systems, plus safety features like airbags and safety restraint systems.

Additional Benefits

Besides the listed coverage, these extended service plans also offer additional benefits. Enjoy peace of mind with 24/7 roadside assistance, including towing services, flat tire changes, fuel delivery, battery jump starts, lock-out assistance, and more. You can also benefit from rental car reimbursement if your Ford needs repairs overnight for something covered by your service plan.
