[Question]Warranty on Parts Replaced Under Warranty

[munchy_cool]

Looking to buy a used 2013 GT. The vehicle was purchased a Certified Pre-owned and has ESP (valid till September 2018).

2 months back at around 63,xxx miles the engine was replaced under warranty, for a blown head gasket. Ford's explanation is water got into the Engine from the cold air intake (a Ford installed K&N air intake).

Question

What is the warranty on the new Engine? Does it have a 3year unlimited miles warranty or not? I ask because I was told that the 3 year unlimited miles warranty is only valid for a customer paid engine replacement, in this case it was done under warranty hence the Engine will not get that warranty.

Parts replaced under original warranty are typically only warranted for the remainder of the original warranty.

For example: 60,000 mile warranty, fuel pump goes out at 59,500 miles. The fuel pump is covered under the same warranty it was replaced under for the next 500 miles. After that, you're on your own.

It all depends on how the claim was paid. Per the warranty manual if the engine was replaced under the 3/36 or the powertrain warranty, then it has a 12mo/12k mile warranty. If it was replaced under ESP then it has a 24mo/unlimited mile warranty. You would have to look at the RO and determine what warranty it was replaced under.

Also the ESP plan will not be valid until you transfer the plan to your name.

It would be in the Ford Warranty manual. There is no public link that I know of. I was reading it at work when I made my previous post.

Note that only applies to powertrain assemblies. There is a section for special circumstances.

You need to check and see how the engine was replaced. Even if a car has ESP, the replacement could have been paid under powertrain warranty.
