Batteries
The technicians at your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership can determine the health of your vehicle’s
battery during any service visit. The Motorcraft Tested Tough Max Series with its “long-life” design
outlasted other long-life batteries by up to 200%. That’s one reason why we stand behind this battery with
a national, 3-year, free replacement warranty and prorated-cost replacement thereafter for up to
100 months and unlimited mileage. Should your battery need to be replaced, please consider a Motorcraft
brand battery that meets your vehicle’s Ford Motor Company specifications.
Brakes
Your Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealership has the right brake parts for your vehicle and their factory-trained
technicians know exactly how to install them. Ford Original Equipment and Motorcraft replacement
brake pads, shoes, rotors and drums meet the stringent standards of Ford Motor Company engineers, and
they’re also Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) compliant. In addition, all Ford Original
Equipment replacement brake pads, shoes, rotors, and drums are vehicle tested for durability and noise
suppression. The right brake parts and installation are essential to proper brake system operation.
