New Vehicle Limited Warranty. We want your Ford Flex ownership experience to be the best it
can be. So under this warranty, your new vehicle comes with 3-year/36,000-mile Bumper-to-
Bumper Coverage, 5-year/60,000mile Powertrain Warranty Coverage, 5-year/50,000-mile
Safety Restraint Coverage, and 5-year/unlimited-mile Corrosion (Perforation) Coverage —
all with no deductible. Please ask your Ford Dealer for a copy of this limited warranty.
For more assurance: There’s a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited
warranty that’s fully transferable, has no deductible, and provides you with
an additional 2 years or 24,000 miles of coverage on select components,
including the engine and transmission — beyond the standard 3-year/36,000-mile
Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage. Roadside Assistance is extended to 5 years or 60,000 miles,
so you have the security of knowing that help may be only a phone call away should you
run out of fuel, lock yourself out of the car, or need towing. Your Ford Dealer can provide
complete details on all of these advantages.
