What is not covered

Ford's 2022 through 2025 booklets treat gradual capacity loss with time and use as normal wear and tear, and exclude damage caused by:

  • Accidents, collision or objects striking the vehicle (including driving through a car wash).
  • Fire or explosion.
  • Immersion or flooding of the high voltage battery assembly.
  • Abuse or misuse of the vehicle or the high voltage battery pack, such as driving over curbs, overloading, racing, or using the vehicle as a permanent stationary power source.
  • Failing to observe and resolve vehicle warnings and indications of battery concerns within "a reasonable amount of time, typically 30 days."
  • Failing to complete Ford Power-Up software updates within "a reasonable amount of time, typically 30 days."
  • Using incompatible charging devices or methods.
  • Modifications to the high voltage battery assembly, the high voltage system, or associated wiring.
  • Exposure to direct or intense heat sources outside of normal use, such as collision repairs that subject the vehicle to paint booth conditions that exceed Ford's recommendations.
  • Leaving the high voltage battery assembly fully discharged, or at a near zero state of charge, for more than 14 days.
  • Repairs performed by facilities and personnel not authorized by Ford.
  • Improper vehicle storage resulting in high voltage battery damage.

Scope note

US market, model years 2022 through 2025, from the Battery Electric Vehicle Warranty Guide Ford publishes for each model year, which covers the E-Transit, Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning together. The battery terms, the components covered and the exclusions read the same in all four booklets; only the California start-date note is absent from the 2022 booklet. The booklet delivered with a specific truck is the authority for that truck.
