Here’s something interesting, right from the Ford Warranty PDF’s for model year 2015 products:
Ford CANADA (July 2014/4th Printing):
Ford USA (July 2015/8th Printing):
But also to note - regardless of the printed warranty, there is still the possibility of an owner being made whole once he/she has a Ford Case # and CSR involved as they have the authorization to go above and beyond, especially in RIBS’ instance above...
Also post any Ford hood/body panel corrosion issues to this group:

Ford CANADA (July 2014/4th Printing):
—Corrosion Coverage
Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Corrosion Coverage begins at the original warranty start date and covers body sheet metal panels against corrosion due to a defect in factory-supplied materials and workmanship. The length of the coverage depends on the type of corrosion damage:
• If corrosion causes perforations (holes) in the body sheet metal panels, the coverage extends for 5 years/unlimited distance.
• If corrosion does not cause perforations (holes), and is not the result of vehicle usage and/or airborne materials, the Corrosion Coverage is 36 months or 60,000 kilometres (whichever occurs first).
If your vehicle is damaged due to airborne materials (environmental fallout) where there is no defect in factory-supplied materials or workmanship and therefore no applicable Ford of Canada warranty, Ford of Canada will still cover paint damage due to airborne materials (environmental fallout) for 12 months or 20,000 kilometres (whichever occurs first). See “Damage Caused by Use or the Environment” page 13.
Ford USA (July 2015/8th Printing):
I’m not sure why the Corrosion Warranty is different depending on Country, one would except the Warranty provisions to be the same, since the car is built at the same factory with the same proceeds, parts and prep, regardless of where it ends up on the planet.(3) Your vehicle’s body sheet metal panels are covered for an extended Corrosion Coverage Period, which lasts for five years, regardless of miles driven. The extended warranty coverage only applies if a body sheet metal panel becomes perforated due to corrosion during normal use due to a manufacturing defect in factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship. For damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout) where there is no factory-related defect involved and therefore no warranty − our policy is to provide free repair of paint damage due to the airborne material for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
But also to note - regardless of the printed warranty, there is still the possibility of an owner being made whole once he/she has a Ford Case # and CSR involved as they have the authorization to go above and beyond, especially in RIBS’ instance above...
