OEM Warranty about to expire

[MacLightning]

My '22 XLT is soon to roll over the 80k mile mark, thus falling out of warranty.

Aside from a couple visits to the dealer for water infiltrating the cabin the first year of ownership, and some routine in-shop updates, the truck has been and continues to be rock solid.

I'm not planning to extend the OEM warranty or buy into a new one.

Change my mind (or post some relevant experiences you may have) - please and thanks!

There are components that fall out at 36k, 60k and 100k (HV battery/motors/etc). What drops out at 80k?

My 22 is at 77k miles and I have no intention of extending the warranty.

Right, I had opted for an extended New Vehicle Limited Warranty when I bought the truck.
Takes that warranty from 36k to 80k.

Extending an extended warranty would be a waste of money, IF they offered it.

Well, your first post said you didn't plan to extend the OEM warranty. Now you say you already did. Thus confusion.

5/60 is for Ice powertrain only. 8/100 electric powertrain.

 

[MacLightning]

Thanks for the input and apologies for the confusing OP.
Maybe I'd more accurately ask if there's anything others are having their trucks in to have worked on / looked at, as they approach the end of OEM warranty coverage(s).

Dude. Read the info posted. Electric trucks still have drivetrain parts that are not covered under electric warranty... Therefore 5 yr 60k applies

Nope. Go to your Ford Account, choose your vehicle and download the warranty PDF specific to your VIN. You will see exactly what I posted above.

Folks on here have been scr*wed because a part failed (e.g., gear, coolant pump) and it was considered powertrain and not EV specific. Crazy, because that component only appears on the Lightning so is EV specific from our point of view - but Ford thinks otherwise.

(1) Your vehicle's Powertrain components are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The extended Powertrain coverage applies to all components of the driveline that are not specifically covered by the Electric Vehicle Component warranty. Powertrain components that receive warranty coverage for five years or 60,000 miles may include gears, differential, shafts, fluid pumps, seals and gaskets, bearings, mounts, drive shaft, retainers, supports, universal and constant velocity joints.

(2) The high voltage battery and eDrive systems of your vehicle are covered by the Electric Vehicle Component coverage for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. High voltage battery and eDrive components covered by this warranty include the high voltage battery assembly, Bussed Electrical Center (BEC), Battery Energy Control Module (BECM), on-board charger, Inverter System Controller (ISC), DC/DC converter, and eDrive. If a covered component requires replacement under the Electric Vehicle Component warranty, it may be replaced with a new, factory remanufactured, or factory refurbished component, at Ford’s discretion. Refurbished battery components selected for your vehicle will align with your vehicle’s age and mileage and meet Ford’s requirements and standards.

Ford, what is an eDrive?

The biggest recommendation is to have the 12V battery checked before the 3 year/36K expires. You could take it in for 70K service (on your dime) and ask they thoroughly check for leaks, etc. Especially under the truck. Anything found would hopefully be covered.

Ford, what is an eDrive?

I remember the situation you're talking about. I very distinctly remember reading an article about the exact component list, I'm still trying to find it, I remember it mentioned coolant hoses, heaters and such basically anything to do with the high voltage system, it's all in a closed loop. When I locate the info I'll share here and I maintain the 5/60 is primarily for ice vehicles with only minor cross over like cv axles and wheel bearings, basic chassis essentially.

EDIT: Ok, the web link no longer exists apparently and loops back to the link we all know so I guess we're at Ford's mercy as to what exactly is covered, to me that very first paragraph says it all,

"Ford Motor Company offers warranty coverage for components unique to hybrid and electric vehicles, including the high voltage battery, found to be defective in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. This coverage lasts for 8 years or 100,000 miles from the Warranty Start Date, whichever occurs first."

Unique being the key word. I'll agree we don't have all the facts, where's not AI Brian from Ford, maybe he can verify.

Some yes, cv axles, wheel bearings, chassis items, there's a lot of crossover to the ice variant.

Wear and tear components get less coverage because they are subject to...wear and tear, friction, stress, etc. The electrical components will last a lot longer in general. The battery degrades with time due to chemistry, but slowly generally depending on how it is used and abused.

I would suggest that the term "eDrive" includes the dual permanent magnet electric motors one per axle with individual controllers, the Li Battery and all the controlling electronics, and all the component parts, and including the software to run the "eDrive" system.

But I would have called that the 'power train' of the Lightning.

"Powertrain components that receive warranty coverage for five years or 60,000 miles may include gears, differential, shafts, fluid pumps, seals and gaskets, bearings, mounts, drive shaft, retainers, supports, universal and constant velocity joints."

So, yes they excluded the pumps, seals and gaskets critical elements required to keep the battery healthy.

Retainers and supports also get a lot of stress, and could be easily checked out.

I guess then THOSE would be what I'd want checked out at almost 60K miles. Seals and gaskets deteriorate with age. The electric coolant pumps (e.g., NL3Z-8K621-B/E):

I was thinking maybe it would be a good idea to have some spare parts on hand now that Ford cancelled the Lightning if you are going to exceed the warranty limits. Things likely to fail like the coolant pumps, seals and gaskets. Those could become scarce at some point unless the new EV truck if it comes to be will use the same parts.

Many have posted coolant diverter valve failure not covered after 3/36
