Ford’s Bronco Sport is designed to hit the ground running and provide years of fun out on the open road.

Your go-anywhere SUV deserves protection that works (and plays) as hard as you do. This guide details the Ford Bronco Sport’s factory warranty, explains what it does—and doesn’t—cover, and helps you understand your long-term coverage options.

Ford Bronco Sport Factory Warranty Overview

Every new Ford Bronco Sport includes factory-backed warranty coverage designed to give you peace of mind for the early years of ownership. Here’s what you get as standard equipment when you drive off the lot.

Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty: 3 Years / 36,000 Miles

This comprehensive coverage protects almost every component of your Bronco Sport—from electrical systems to body hardware to interior features—for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first).

It’s often referred to as “comprehensive” or “basic” coverage and includes:

• Climate control systems
  
• Infotainment, including SYNC® and screen displays
  
• Electrical modules and wiring
  
• Interior and exterior trim and hardware
  
• Suspension, steering, and brake components (non-wear items)
  
• Advanced driver-assist features like Ford Co-Pilot360™
  

What’s Not Covered:
Wear-and-tear items (like brake pads or wiper blades), routine maintenance, and cosmetic issues are excluded. Damage caused by aftermarket accessories or modifications also falls outside this coverage.

Powertrain Warranty: 5 Years / 60,000 Miles

The powertrain warranty protects the components that keep your Bronco Sport moving. This includes:

• Engine internals (including turbocharger on EcoBoost® engines)
  
• Transmission and torque converter
  
• Transfer case (if equipped with 4WD)
  
• Drive shafts and axles
  
• Seals, gaskets, and mounts related to these systems
  

This coverage becomes especially valuable if you plan to keep your Bronco Sport long-term or do a lot of off-road driving. Major repairs to these systems can be costly, and this warranty protects you during the first five years of ownership.

Safety Restraint System Warranty: 5 Years / 60,000 Miles

This warranty covers components like airbags, seatbelt mechanisms, crash sensors, and related wiring. If a failure occurs in these systems due to a defect in materials or workmanship, Ford covers the cost of repair or replacement for up to 60,000 miles.

Corrosion Perforation Warranty: 5 Years / Unlimited Miles

Unlike many automakers that place mileage limits on corrosion coverage, Ford’s warranty covers rust-through (actual holes caused by corrosion) for five full years, regardless of mileage. This coverage applies to factory-installed sheet metal panels and protects against structural degradation caused by rust from the inside out.

Roadside Assistance: 5 Years / 60,000 Miles

Ford includes 24/7 roadside assistance during the first five years of ownership. Services include:

• Flat tire changes
  
• Lockout assistance
  
• Fuel delivery (limited amount)
  
• Towing to the nearest Ford dealership
  
• Jump-starts
  

You can access this benefit using FordPass or the dedicated roadside number provided at the time of purchase.

What’s Not Covered by the Factory Warranty

Even with strong factory protection, several common repair needs fall outside warranty limits:

• Oil changes, tire rotations, filters, brake pads, and spark plugs
  
• Interior wear like torn seats or cracked trim
  
• Damage from overloading, misuse, or unauthorized modifications
  
• Repairs performed by non-Ford-certified technicians
  
• Environmental damage (hail, flooding, etc.)

Understanding these exclusions helps you avoid unexpected repair bills and maintain your warranty eligibility.

Common Issues Reported by Bronco Sport Owners

While the Bronco Sport earns strong reviews, here are a few concerns noted across owner forums and repair records:

• Wind noise or rattling around the roof rails or doors at highway speeds
  
• SYNC® infotainment delays, including screen freezing or Bluetooth issues
  
• Transmission hesitation or hard shifts, especially on cold starts
  
• Check engine lights related to turbo sensors or EVAP system
  
• Rear suspension clunks or squeaks when going over bumps or uneven terrain
  

While not every owner experiences these issues, they often fall under warranty when reported early, and highlight the value of comprehensive coverage.

After the Warranty Ends: What’s Next?

Once your factory warranty expires, repairs become your responsibility. For owners who plan to keep their Bronco Sport long-term or rely on its off-road and tech features, extended protection can help reduce future repair costs. Plans backed by Ford—like PremiumCARE—are available for up to 10 years or 175,000 miles.
