Ford Philippines extends vehicle warranty by one month after COVID-19

Many car dealerships prioritize the safety and well-being of their customers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. For that, Ford Philippines released a public advisory saying that all Ford dealerships in Luzon will temporarily be closed starting March 17, 2020, until further notice.

This is to comply with the enhanced community quarantine implemented by the Philippine government.

On March 20, 2020, the American automaker addressed its customer’s concern regarding warranties. Ford Philippines stated that it will extend the vehicle warranties of its eligible customers by 30 days, including those who have Ford’s Premium Extended Warranty.

Warranties are an agreement by a manufacturer and dealer to repair or replace faults in your car.
