2019 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT service

For vehicles within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty time in service
and mileage coverage period, defective tires will be replaced on a pro
rata adjustment basis according to the following mileage-based
Reimbursement Schedule:
MILES DRIVENPERCENT OF PARTS COVERED BY FORD
1-12,000 100%
12,001-24,000 60%
24,001-36,000 30%
The tire manufacturer also provides you with a separate tire warranty that
may extend beyond the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage. You will
find the manufacturer’s tire warranty with the owner literature supplied
with your vehicle. You have the option of having a tire warranty repair
performed by the tire manufacturer’s authorized service center. If you go
to a tire service center for a repair covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, you may be charged a prorated amount for wear or other
charges. If so, you should present your paid invoice detailing the nature of
the charges to any Ford Motor Company dealership for refund
consideration. When making warranty repairs on your vehicle, the dealer
will use Ford or Motorcraft parts or remanufactured or other parts that
are authorized by Ford. In certain instances, Ford may authorize repairs at
other than Ford dealer facilities. Tire replacements under warranty will be
made with the same brand and model as originally equipped with the
vehicle unless the same brand and model is no longer available, in which
case a tire of the same brand, size, load, speed and tread type will be
used. In some circumstances, Ford may authorize another brand and/or
model to substitute for the original brand and model, even if still available.
Normal tire wear or damage is not reimbursable. See page 15 for details
of what is not covered.
Extended warranty coverage periods are available for certain
vehicle parts and conditions. Specifically,
(1) Your vehicle’s Powertrain components are covered for five years or
60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The extended coverage applies to
theEngine: all internal lubricated parts, cylinder block, cylinder heads,
electrical fuel pump, powertrain control module, engine mounts,
flywheel, injection pump, manifold (exhaust and intake), manifold bolts,

7. Additional information about your emissions warrantycoverage, under Federal and California requirements
HOW DO I GET WARRANTY SERVICE?
To get service under your emissions warranties, take your vehicle to any
Ford Motor Company dealer as soon as possible after illumination of the
Malfunction Indicator Light or it has failed an EPA-approved test or a
California Smog Check inspection. Be sure to show the dealer the
document that says your vehicle has failed the test.
Your dealer will determine whether the repair is covered by the warranty.
If the dealer has a question about Emissions Performance Warranty
coverage, it will forward the question to Ford Motor Company, which
must make a final decision within 30 days after you bring your vehicle in
for repair. (The decision will be made within a shorter time if state, local,
or federal law requires you to have the vehicle repaired more quickly in
order to avoid additional penalties.) The deadline for a determination
about Emissions Performance Warranty Coverage does not need to be
met if you request a delay, agree to a delay in writing, or if the delay is
caused by an event for which neither Ford nor your dealer is
responsible. If a question about Emissions Performance Warranty
coverage is referred to Ford Motor Company, you will be notified by Ford
Motor Company in writing if your claim for warranty coverage is denied.
The notice will explain the basis for denying your claim. If you fail to
receive this notice within a timely manner, as determined above, Ford
will perform the warranty repair for you free of charge.
HOW DO I HANDLE EMERGENCY REPAIRS?
If your vehicle needs an emergency warrantable repair and a Ford Motor
Company dealer is not available, or if a Ford Motor Company dealer
cannot perform warrantable repair(s) within 30 days of you bringing
your vehicle to the dealer, repairs may be performed at any service
establishment or by you using Ford equivalent replacement parts.
Ford will reimburse you for the cost of these warranty repairs including
diagnosis, if you take the part(s) that are replaced and the repair
receipt(s) to a Ford Motor Company dealer. The reimbursement shall not
exceed Ford’s suggested retail price for the warranted parts that are
replaced and labor charges based on Ford’s recommended time allowance
for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly rate.
29

WHAT REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD I USE?
Ford Motor Company recommends that you use genuine Ford
replacement parts. However, when you are having non-warranty work
done on your vehicle, you may choose to use non-Ford parts. If you
decide to use non-Ford parts, be sure they are equivalent to Ford parts
in performance, quality, and durability. If you use replacement parts that
are not equivalent to Ford parts, your vehicle’s emissions control systems
may not work as effectively, and you may jeopardize your emissions
warranty coverage.
Under the Federal and California emissions warranties, Ford will repair
or replace covered parts if they are properly installed Ford parts or the
equivalent, or non-Ford parts that have been certified by the U.S. EPA or
the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Ford is not responsible for
the cost or repairing or replacing non-Ford parts that are not equivalent
to Ford parts or that have not been certified by EPA or CARB.
The maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control
devices or systems can be performed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual using Ford replacement parts or the
equivalent, or EPA- or CARB-certified parts, without voiding your
emissions warranty coverage for future repairs during the
applicable warranty period.
PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY
If you do not maintain your vehicle properly, Ford may have the right to
deny you warranty coverage.
To have repairs made under this warranty, you may have to show that
you have followed Ford’s instructions on properly maintaining and using
your vehicle. You will find these instructions in yourOwner’s Manual.
Be sure to save your service receipts and to keep accurate records of all
maintenance work.
CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
