ffamousamos Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Had my 2019 F150 in for battery replacement today. It was covered uner the bumper to bumper 36K warranty. Anyways it was replaced with a Duralast battery, not a Motorcraft. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probowler Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Unfortunately I can't answer your warranty question, but I can tell you that the last motorcraft battery in my Bronco only lasted 2 years. You might be better off with the duralast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 They might be supply constrained on Motorcraft batteries and using another supplier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the parts warranty doesn’t apply to things replaced under the factory vehicle warranty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillSD Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Kyle is correct; due to supply constraints Ford is approving the use of competitive make replacements. Have heard that AC Delco & NAPA have been approved in certain cases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

351cid Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Johnson Controls sold off its automotive battery business last year (5/19?). Clarios now builds those batteries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
