Ford Extended Service Plan
You can get more protection for your new car or
light truck by purchasing Ford Extended Service
Plan (Ford ESP) coverage. Ford ESP is an optional
service contract which is backed by Ford Motor
Company or Ford Motor Service Company (in the
U.S.) and Ford of Canada (in Canada). It provides
the following:
²benefits during the warranty period depending on
the plan you purchase (such as: reimbursement
for rentals; coverage for certain maintenance and
wear items)
²protection against covered repair costs after your
Bumper-to- Bumper Warranty expires
You may purchase Ford ESP from any participating
Ford and Lincoln Mercury and Ford of Canada
dealer. There are several plans available in various
time, distance and deductible combinations which
can be tailored to fit your own driving needs. Ford
ESP also offers reimbursement benefits for towing
and rental coverage.
When you buy Ford ESP, you receive Peace-of-Mind
protection throughout the United States and Canada,
provided by a network of more than 5,000
participating Ford or Lincoln Mercury and Ford of
Canada dealers.

complete details about Ford Extended Service Plan
coverage options, or visit the Ford ESP website at
www.ford-esp.com.

GETTING THE SERVICES YOU NEED
At home
Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada have
authorized dealerships to service your vehicle. It is
preferred that you return to the Ford dealer where
your vehicle was purchased when warranty repairs
are needed. However, you may also take your vehicle
to another Ford Motor Company or Ford of Canada
dealership authorized for warranty repairs. Certain
warranty repairs require special training though, so
not all dealers are authorized to perform all warranty
repairs. That means that depending on the warranty
repair needed, the vehicle may need to be taken to
another dealer. If a particular dealership can not
assist you, then contact the Customer Relationship
Center.
If you have questions or concerns, or are unsatisfied
with the service you are receiving, follow these
steps:
1. Contact your Sales Representative or Service
Advisor at your selling/servicing dealership.
2. If your inquiry or concern remains unresolved,
contact the Sales Manager or Service Manager at the
dealership.
3. If the inquiry or concern cannot be resolved at
the dealership level, please contact the Ford
Customer Relationship Center.
Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada
dealerships also carry quality parts and accessories,
providing you with equipment reliability.

In some states (in the U.S.) you must directly notify
Ford in writing before pursuing remedies under your
state's warranty laws. Ford is also allowed a final
repair attempt in some states.
In the United States, a warranty dispute must be
submitted to the Dispute Settlement Board before
taking action under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty
Act, or to the extent allowed by state law, before
pursuing replacement or repurchase remedies
provided by certain state laws. This dispute handling
procedure is not required prior to enforcing state
created rights or other rights which are independent
of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or state
replacement or repurchase laws.
