Is a badge covered by the warranty?
Comments

If its a genuine UK vehicle then the Ford warranty is 3 years.
(Ford confuse matters by speaking of a 1 year base warranty, which applies to any of their cars bought anywhere in the world, and then a further extended warranty. That extended warranty is 2 further years for UK customers, or 60k miles whichever occurs first.)"Now to trolling as a concept. ....

Vauxhall too, but that was a few years ago when I bought one new. They strictly adhered to it as well. The same couldn't be said about a piece of chrome effect plastic strip (garnish) which fell off my car at 14 months old! I don't know if they've changed that with their "for life" warranty though? Doubt it.0 -
My old Skoda Fabia had a faulty badge replaced at 2 years old. No problem from the dealer although this is a common problem apparently.0

- Vehicles used for hire or reward, e.g. taxis, driving schools
Interesting - would that apply to daily rental too? In which case Ford are actually selling cars that technically don't have a warranty (Ford Direct used cars are nearly always ex rental)
Also - OP - don't use automatic car washes, jet washes or your local eastern european hand car wash if you want to avoid any more of the badges being damaged.0 -

Er, they are rarely ex-rental cars. Only the best quality cars are sold through Ford direct, and that tends to be the best of the ex-Management Roll Cars .
Either way, Ford Direct cars include the following warranties:- 2 Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty
- 2 Year Ford Assistance - roadside recovery
