GETTING THE SERVICES
YOU NEED
Warranty repairs to your vehicle must
be performed by an authorized dealer.
While any authorized dealer handling
your vehicle line will provide warranty
service, we recommend you return to
your selling authorized dealer who
wants to ensure your continued
satisfaction.
Please note that certain warranty
repairs require special training and
equipment, so not all authorized
dealers are authorized to perform all
warranty repairs. This means that,
depending on the warranty repair
needed, you may have to take your
vehicle to another authorized dealer.
A reasonable time must be allowed
to perform a repair after taking your
vehicle to the authorized dealer.
Repairs will be made using Ford or
Motorcraft parts, or remanufactured
or other parts that are authorized by
Ford.

laws. Ford is also allowed a final repair
attempt in some states.
In the United States, a warranty
dispute must be submitted to the BBB
AUTO LINE 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.
IN CALIFORNIA (U.S. ONLY)
California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d)
requires that, if a manufacturer or its
representative is unable to repair a
motor vehicle to conform to the
vehicle’s applicable express warranty
after a reasonable number of
attempts, the manufacturer shall be
required to either replace the vehicle
with one substantially identical or
repurchase the vehicle and reimburse
the buyer in an amount equal to the
actual price paid or payable by the
consumer (less a reasonable
allowance for consumer use). The
consumer has the right to choose
whether to receive a refund or
replacement vehicle.
California Civil Code Section
1793.22(b) presumes that the
manufacturer has had a reasonable
number of attempts to conform the
vehicle to its applicable express
warranties if, within the first 18
months of ownership of a new vehicle
or the first 18000 miles (29 000 km),
whichever occurs first:
1. Two or more repair attempts are
made on the same non-conformity
likely to cause death or serious
bodily injury OR
249
Customer Assistance

2. Four or more repair attempts aremade on the same nonconformity
(a defect or condition that
substantially impairs the use, value
or safety of the vehicle) OR
3. The vehicle is out of service for repair of nonconformities for a
total of more than 30 calendar
days (not necessarily all at one
time).
In the case of 1 or 2 above, the
consumer must also notify the
manufacturer of the need for the
repair of the nonconformity at the
following address:

You are required to submit your
warranty dispute to BBB AUTO LINE
before asserting in court any rights or
remedies conferred by California Civil
Code Section 1793.22(b). You are also
required to use BBB AUTO LINE before
exercising rights or seeking remedies
created by the Federal
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15
U.S.C. sec. 2301 et seq. If you choose
to seek redress by pursuing rights and
remedies not created by California
Civil Code Section 1793.22(b) or the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, resort
to BBB AUTO LINE is not required by
those statutes.THE BETTER BUSINESS
BUREAU (BBB) AUTO LINE
PROGRAM (U.S. ONLY)
Your satisfaction is important to Ford
Motor Company and to your dealer. If
a warranty concern has not been
resolved using the three-step
procedure outlined earlier in this
chapter in the Getting the Services you
need section, you may be eligible to
participate in the BBB AUTO LINE
program.
The BBB AUTO LINE program consists
of two parts – mediation and
arbitration. During mediation, a
representative of the BBB will contact
both you and Ford Motor Company to
explore options for settlement of the
claim. If an agreement is not reached
during mediation or you do not want
to participate in mediation, and if your
claim is eligible, you may participate
in the arbitration process. An
arbitration hearing will be scheduled
so that you can present your case in
an informal setting before an impartial
person. The arbitrator will consider
the testimony provided and make a
decision after the hearing.
Disputes submitted to the BBB AUTO
LINE program are usually decided
within forty days after you file your
claim with the BBB. You are not bound
by the decision, and may reject the
decision and proceed to court where
all findings of the BBB Auto Line
dispute, and decision, are admissible
250
Customer Assistance

in the court action. Should you choose
to accept the BBB AUTO LINE
decision, Ford is then bound by the
decision, and must comply with the
decision within 30 days of receipt of
your acceptance letter.
BBB AUTO LINE Application: Using
the information provided below,
please call or write to request a
program application. You will be
asked for your name and address,
general information about your new
vehicle, information about your
warranty concerns, and any steps you
have already taken to try to resolve
them. A Customer Claim Form will be
mailed that will need to be
completed, signed and returned to the
BBB along with proof of ownership.
Upon receipt, the BBB will review the
claim for eligibility under the Program
Summary Guidelines.
You can get more information by

MEDIATION/ARBITRATION
PROGRAM (CANADA ONLY)
For vehicles delivered to authorized
Canadian dealers. In those cases
where you continue to feel that the
efforts by Ford of Canada and the
authorized dealer to resolve a
factory-related vehicle service
concern have been unsatisfactory,
Ford of Canada participates in an
impartial third party
mediation/arbitration program
administered by the Canadian Motor
Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).
The CAMVAP program is a straight
forward and relatively speedy
alternative to resolve a disagreement
when all other efforts to produce a
settlement have failed. This procedure
is without cost to you and is designed
to eliminate the need for lengthy and
expensive legal proceedings.
In the CAMVAP program, impartial
third-party arbitrators conduct
hearings at mutually convenient times
and places in an informal
environment. These impartial
arbitrators review the positions of the
parties, make decisions and, when
appropriate, render awards to resolve
disputes. CAMVAP decisions are fast,
fair, and final as the arbitrator’s award
is binding on both you and Ford of
Canada.
251
Customer Assistance

CAMVAP services are available in all
Canadian territories and provinces.
For more information, without charge
or obligation, call your CAMVAP
Provincial Administrator directly at
1-800-207-0685 or visit
www.camvap.ca.
