Warranty Information

Vendor warranty summary

FOX Warranty

At a glance: Limited lifetime on 2.0 and 2.5 Performance Series shocks bought after March 30, 2025 (2.0 remote reservoir excluded); lifetime on upper control arms; 1 year on other FOX suspension products

This is FOX's warranty, not an NVMOS policy. We've summarized it in plain English to save you a search. The manufacturer's official terms always govern and can change without notice. Last reviewed on nvmos.com: October 22, 2026.

Coverage by product line

FOX product Coverage
2.0 and 2.5 Performance Series shocks bought after March 30, 2025 (not 2.0 Performance Series remote reservoir shocks or sports car shocks) Limited lifetime, for the original owner
Upper control arms (spherical bearings, rod ends, other serviceable hardware and appearance or finish issues are limited to 12 months) Lifetime
All other FOX suspension products, including 2.0 Performance Series remote reservoir shocks, Performance Elite, Factory Race and Live Valve 1 year from original retail purchase
  • Coverage is for the original retail owner of a new FOX product bought from an authorized FOX dealer and isn't transferable. If local law requires a longer warranty period, that period applies.

What's covered

  • Factory defects in material and workmanship, other than finish and coatings
  • Normal use on passenger cars and light-duty trucks, on the vehicle application the part was designed for, maintained the way FOX specifies
  • FOX repairs the part or replaces it with a comparable model, at its option

What's not covered

  • Normal wear and tear
  • Abuse, misuse, neglect, crash or collision damage
  • Improper assembly, maintenance or unauthorized repair and service
  • Alterations and modifications
  • Finish and coatings
  • Removal, installation and reinstallation labor
  • Normal operating noise from performance features (squeaks and creaks)
  • Second owners, or parts not bought from an authorized FOX source

How to make a FOX warranty claim

  • Start with the place you bought the part (that's us, if you bought from NVMOS)
  • For service directly with FOX in the US, create a Service Request on FOX's service site first. FOX won't service a product without an SR number, and it replies with shipping instructions
  • Ship the part to the service center FOX tells you to use, with the SR number written clearly on the outside of the box
  • FOX inspects the part and decides whether it's covered; covered parts are repaired or replaced
