Protecting Your Lincoln: The Lincoln Warranty and Extended Service Plans

Your Lincoln is a fine automobile and an investment, and you want to make sure it’s protected. We’re going to investigate the protection your Lincoln warranty provides and then the options Lincoln provides to extend this coverage.

Your Lincoln’s Warranty

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty applies to every new Lincoln. This warranty protects your vehicle in the unlikely event of any issue with the materials or labor used in its manufacture. If a warranty-related issue is discovered, it will be corrected by any Lincoln dealer using only Lincoln-approved replacement parts. We’ll look at some of the types of coverage it provides.

Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage

This applies to all systems and components that aren’t protected by any of the other types of coverage below and that aren’t specifically excluded in the warranty handbook. This protection applies for the first four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Powertrain Coverage

This coverage applies to the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. It also covers the transaxle and transfer case, if installed, and protects powertrain components against any unforeseen issues for six years or 70,000 miles.

Corrosion Coverage

This warranty covers the sheet metal and metal body panels in your vehicle against corrosion or rust-through, which is rust that forms a hole through metal from one side to the other. It applies for the first five years and unlimited mileage.

Hybrid/Electric Unique Component Coverage

If you have a hybrid or all-electric vehicle, its highly specialized systems are protected for eight years or 100,000 miles.

Extended Service Plans

Your original warranty will eventually expire, but you can choose to continue to protect your Lincoln with an Extended Service Plan. These plans take effect when your original warranty expires, providing you with seamless protection for years to come. There are four plans available, so let’s take a look at what they offer.

PowertrainCARE

This plan protects the most critical systems in your vehicle, namely the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. It ​provides coverage for 29 components and systems.

BaseCARE

Everything in the plan above is protected, and an additional 55 systems and components in the steering, brakes, front suspension, AC, and electrical systems are also ​covered.

ExtraCARE

This plan covers all systems and components in the two plans above, while extending protection to an additional 29 components, including ​high-tech systems like the instrument cluster ​and ​the power seat motors.

PremiumCARE

As the highest-tier plan, more than 1,000 components and systems are covered, including everything in the plans above. Components in the rear suspension, audio, emissions, and safety systems are also protected.
