Hi Guys, noticed the chrome is turning white and bubbling up on the 'Ford' boot badge. Whilst looking on the net for a replacement i saw Ford were replacing them free of charge in 2014. Has anyone had one replaced this year? I will ring my local dealership when they re-open after Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone

Trim is covered under the 1year warranty so they should be replaced free

They did offer free replacements in 2014 for cars upto 10 years old, however as arthur said you have a warranty for the trim to seek it to be replaced though that

I had a rear badge on a 2011 plate Focus replaced earlier in 2015 - and was told that any car up-to 10 years old would have a dodgy ford badge replaced FOC - I don't think it was just in 2014

Pity they don't replace the dodgy dash clusters as well

If it's under warranty then they will.. you just need to chase the right people.

If it's out of warranty, then tough luck

Ford should still have a rolling 10 year badge replacement policy afaik.

My rear bagdge is replaced for free by Ford 5 Months ago. At that time the car was just outside the normal warranty.

My original MK3 badge did also have the corrosion problem and came a bit loose so I removed the badge myself to prevent it from falling off. The rear badge is made of stamped aluminium. The logo is painted and the edges are polished and protected by a thin layer of clear coat. During time the clear coat cracks where it touches the bootlid as a result of vibrations. This causes the polished aluminium to corrode.

The new badge is exactly the same as the original one. I guess it will be just a matter of time before the new badge will also corrode. It is Ford policy to only replace it once under warranty. The next time the customer has to pay for it. The badges on my previous MK2 were much more durable. Even after 10 Years the badges were still in good condition

Hi all,

Happy New Year !

Just to let you know that I phoned my local Ford dealership about the badge corrosion and they said to book it in and they would change it while I waited under warranty.

Thanks all

Steve.
