Understanding Your Lincoln’s Warranty: What’s Covered and What’s Not

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Your new Lincoln is not only stylish and luxurious, but it’s also protected by a comprehensive warranty. As your Lincoln dealer, we want to tell you more about your 2024 Lincoln warranty, including what’s covered and what’s excluded from coverage.

From Your Lincoln Dealer: What Is and Isn’t Covered by Your Lincoln Warranty?

What’s Covered?

A Lincoln has several warranties that protect it against any issues involving the labor or materials that went into building it. If an issue covered by the warranty is discovered, it will be repaired by an authorized dealer at no charge. Let’s take a look at these individual warranties.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

This warranty covers the majority of components in your car. The only things that aren’t covered are those components that form part of one of the other warranties listed below, or that are specifically excluded. Coverage by this warranty extends for the first two years or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

Powertrain Coverage

Engine, transmission, and drivetrain components and systems are protected by this warranty. These three systems are the most valuable and complex parts of your Lincoln, and they enjoy protection to match their importance. All your powertrain components are covered for six years or 70,000 miles.

Corrosion Warranty

The body metal and sheet metal on your Lincoln are high-quality and have enhanced protection against rust or corrosion that’s applied during its manufacture. In the unlikely event that your vehicle suffers any form of corrosion, the affected panels or sheets will be replaced. This protection against corrosion lasts for five years and has unlimited mileage.

Safety Restraint Systems Warranty

Your airbags and safety belts are covered against any defects for five years or 60,000 miles.

Emissions Warranty Coverage

The emissions control systems in your Lincoln are built to the standards required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The majority of components included in this warranty are protected for two years or 24,000 miles. The catalytic converter, engine control unit, and onboard emissions diagnostic devices are covered for eight years or 80,000 miles.

What’s Not Covered?

Damage caused by certain situations isn’t covered by any of these warranties. We’ll now take a look at some of these excluded situations.

Environmental Damage

Any damage caused solely by earthquakes, hail, floods, or frost is excluded. In addition, scratches and dents due to hail or other hard natural impacts are not covered.

Unauthorized Alternations

Any modifications or damage caused by unsuccessful repairs by a non-dealer are not protected. Any work performed to repair these situations will be performed as a regular, billable repair.

General Maintenance

Oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks are not covered by warranty protection.

Accidental Damage

Any damage caused by theft, poor maintenance, accidents, or similar situations is not covered by warranty.
