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, equipment
or both, 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.

*The accessory manufacturer designs, develops and therefore warrants
Ford Licensed Accessories, and does not design or test these accessories
to Ford Motor Company engineering requirements. Contact an
authorized Ford dealer for the manufacturer’s limited warranty details,
and request a copy of the Ford Licensed Accessories product limited
warranty from the accessory manufacturer.
For maximum vehicle performance, keep the following information in
mind when adding accessories or equipment to your vehicle:
• When adding accessories, equipment, passengers and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight capacity of the vehicle or of
the front or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as indicated on the Safety
Compliance Certification label). Ask an authorized dealer for specific
weight information.
• The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulate the use of mobile
communications systems that are equipped with radio transmitters, for
example, two-way radios, telephones and theft alarms. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle should comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulations and should be
installed only by an authorized dealer.
• An authorized dealer needs to install mobile communications systems.
Improper installation may harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if the manufacturer did not design the mobile
communication system specifically for automotive use.
• If you or an authorized Ford dealer add any non-Ford electrical or
electronic accessories or components to your vehicle, you may
adversely affect battery performance and durability. In addition, you
may also adversely affect the performance of other electrical systems
in the vehicle.
