WARRANTY COVERAGE
The Shelby GT500 carries the same New Vehicle Limited Warranty as
other Ford Mustang models. This information is covered in its entirety in
the Ford Motor Company Warranty Guide.
Warranty service for the Shelby GT500 or any SVT vehicle can be
obtained at any Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing SVT vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide discusses vehicle usage and the
installation of aftermarket parts and their effect on warranty coverage as
follows:
Repairs are not reimbursable under warranty when damage is caused by:
•misusing the vehicle, such as driving over curbs, overloading, racing,
or using the vehicle as a stationary power source.
•altering or modifying the vehicle — including the body, chassis, or
components — after the vehicle leaves Ford’s control.
•non-Ford parts installed after the vehicle leaves Ford’s control,
including, but not limited to, cellular phones, alarm systems and
automatic starting systems.
Please see the Warranty Guide for complete information.
