It means Ford owners who choose to have their annual service at a Ford dealer will automatically receive the offer of a one year warranty on their car. Customers who have bought a new Ford and who have their car serviced at an approved Ford service centre, once their two-year warranty has elapsed, will automatically be offered a warranty for an additional year covering vital components on the car. Provided they continue to have the car serviced by a Ford dealer, the warranty can be renewed each year up to a maximum of five years following the lapse of the original two-year warranty.
The new service warranty offer will be available to both customers who have bought new cars from Ford, and Ford owners who bought their cars second-hand, provided the car in question is less than seven years old.
The new extended warranty provision will be introduced in 2012. More complete details on the terms and conditions will be announced at that time.
