Many of our Farmington, ME customers have told us here at Farmington Ford that understanding vehicle warranties can be confusing. We'd like to help clear things up so that you can be sure to take advantage of your full warranty coverage. Keep reading below for a quick summary of powertrain versus bumper-to-bumper warranties. These are the most common types you'll encounter.
A powertrain warranty is going to cover parts that make the vehicle run. These are components such as the engine, axles, transmission, driveshaft, and differential. Not everything falls under warranty, though. Items that are prone to regular wear and tear like the clutch, battery, most fluids, and belts won't be covered.
Your bumper-to-bumper coverage includes nearly everything from the front bumper to the rear. Well, the actual bumpers are considered body panels, so they won't be covered. Items like audio, electronics, suspension, heating, and cooling systems usually will be.
