Does Ford have a rust warranty?

I bought a brand new Ford F-150 two years ago, and the underbody is starting to rust already! It seems way too early for my pickup to be corroding like this. Does Ford have a rust warranty? This is ridiculous.

You’re not alone in your rust distress—Ford F-150s have recently been known to experience corrosion on the underbody extremely early. Unfortunately, while Ford’s standard New Vehicle Limited Warranty does have a rust warranty, it only covers perforation rust that threatens the integrity of the vehicle. Here’s what you need to know:
  • The rust warranty is classified under “corrosion”.
  • It comes with a 5-year, unlimited mileage term.
  • Despite nationwide complaints, underbody rust is considered “surface rust,” which is not covered under Ford’s warranty.
Needless to say, F-150 drivers whose rust issues do not threaten the integrity of the truck’s structure and are facing some disappointing answers from Ford and its dealerships. Though sanding down the rust and painting the rusting components can help improve the problem, doing so won’t be covered under the Ford warranty.
