TSport Warranty Information
Learn how Ford factory warranty coverage and TSport’s 3-year/36,000-mile warranty work, where your vehicle can be serviced and what to do before authorizing a repair.
Quick Answer
Does a TSport Truck Keep the Ford Factory Warranty?
TSport states that its approved modifications do not void the Ford factory warranty. Ford remains responsible for eligible factory-component concerns, while parts built and installed by TSport are covered under a separate 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, whichever comes first.
Coverage at a Glance
How the TSport Warranty Works

Parts built and installed by TSport are covered for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
03

Jump to a Section
One of the most common questions shoppers ask about a professionally lifted or customized truck is whether the modifications will affect the original vehicle warranty.
TSport addresses that concern by separating responsibility between the original Ford factory components and the components installed during the TSport upfit. This gives owners a clear starting point when a vehicle needs diagnosis or repair.
TSport states that its approved modifications retain the original factory warranty. The company also provides separate warranty coverage for the parts it builds and installs.
The written warranty documents supplied with the individual vehicle remain the controlling terms. Coverage, exclusions, claim approval and responsibility should always be confirmed before repairs are authorized.
TSport Parts Warranty
How Long Is the TSport Warranty?
TSport states that all parts it builds and installs are covered under a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, whichever occurs first.
TSport describes this coverage as mirroring the time and mileage period of the new-vehicle factory warranty. However, Ford factory coverage and TSport coverage remain separate because each provider is responsible for different components.
What Does “Whichever Comes First” Mean?
Coverage ends when either the applicable three-year period or the 36,000-mile limit is reached. Review the warranty supplied with the exact vehicle to confirm when its coverage period begins and how mileage is calculated.
Examples of TSport-Installed Equipment
Depending on the package and vehicle, TSport-installed equipment may include suspension components, wheels, tires, exterior accessories, badging, steps, interior upgrades or other package-specific parts.
Not every TSport vehicle has the same equipment. Review the specialty-vehicle addendum for a complete list of components installed on the exact truck or Bronco.
Understanding Responsibility
Ford Factory Warranty vs. TSport Warranty
When a TSport vehicle needs service, the first step is identifying whether the concern involves an original Ford component or a part installed through the TSport package.
| Type of Concern | Likely Warranty Provider | Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Original Ford Component | Ford, subject to the applicable factory warranty | Schedule diagnosis with an authorized Ford dealership |
| TSport-Built or Installed Part | TSport, subject to its written warranty terms | Submit the claim and obtain approval before repairs begin |
| Cause Is Not Yet Known | Determined after diagnosis | Have a Ford dealer inspect the vehicle before authorizing work |
| Damage or Non-Warranty Concern | Owner, insurer or another provider may be responsible | Review the written warranty and obtain an estimate before proceeding |
Factory Warranty Retention Does Not Mean One Company Covers Everything
Ford and TSport may each be responsible for different parts of the completed vehicle. Diagnosis helps determine which warranty applies to a specific concern.
Before Repair Work Begins
How to Start a TSport Warranty Claim
TSport requires warranty claims to be submitted before repairs are made. Work involving a TSport warranty claim must receive approval from the TSport warranty team before the repair begins.
1
Do Not Authorize Repairs Yet
Diagnosis may be needed, but do not approve TSport-related repair work before claim authorization.
2
Gather the Vehicle Information
Have the VIN, mileage, purchase information, symptoms and any available photos or diagnostic findings ready.
3
Contact a Ford Dealer
Arrange diagnosis through Dave Arbogast Ford or another authorized Ford dealership.
4
Submit the TSport Claim
The concern and proposed repair must be submitted to TSport when a TSport-installed component is involved.
5
Wait for Approval
Do not begin the TSport-related repair until coverage and repair authorization have been confirmed.
6
Complete the Approved Repair
Once approved, the servicing dealer can proceed according to the claim instructions.
Important Warranty Requirement
All TSport Warranty Claims Must Be Submitted Before Repairs Are Made
Beginning work without the required approval could affect whether the repair is eligible for coverage.
TSport Warranty Assistance
Call the TSport Warranty Advisor
Have the vehicle identification number, mileage and a description of the concern available when requesting assistance.
Nationwide Repair Access
Where Can a TSport Vehicle Be Serviced?
TSport states that its vehicles can be taken to a Ford dealership nationwide for diagnosis and eligible warranty service.
The servicing dealership may need to determine whether the issue involves an original Ford component or a TSport-installed component. That determination affects which provider reviews and pays an approved warranty claim.
You are not necessarily required to return to the dealership where the vehicle was originally purchased. However, working with a dealership familiar with specialty vehicles may make communication, documentation and claim coordination easier.
Local Owners
Contact Dave Arbogast Ford in Troy, Ohio, to discuss the concern and arrange an appropriate service appointment.
Nationwide Owners
Contact a nearby authorized Ford dealership and provide the TSport warranty information when scheduling diagnosis.
TSport-Specific Concerns
Confirm that the claim has been submitted to TSport and approved before authorizing a covered repair.
Be Prepared
What Information Should You Keep?
Keeping the original vehicle and upfit documentation can make future service and warranty questions easier to resolve.
Keep Copies of:
- The original Ford window sticker
- The TSport vehicle or package addendum
- The written TSport warranty information
- The purchase agreement and delivery paperwork
- Vehicle identification number
- Maintenance and service records
- Alignment, tire rotation and balancing records
- Photos or videos showing a reported concern
- Copies of warranty claim approvals and repair orders
Professionally Completed Builds
Why Warranty Support Matters on a Custom Vehicle
A professionally completed TSport vehicle offers a different ownership structure than a truck modified through several unrelated aftermarket installers.
TSport identifies the components used in its package, provides a centralized warranty contact and allows diagnosis to begin through Ford dealerships nationwide. This can make it easier to identify responsibility when a concern involves the original vehicle or the specialty upfit.
Qualified buyers may also be able to include the TSport package cost in their retail vehicle financing rather than paying separately for modifications after purchase.
