2020 FORD F-53 ESP

MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY
Your vehicle contains an Owner’s Manual which indicates the scheduled
maintenance required for your vehicle. Proper maintenance guards
against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate
maintenance, and may help increase the value you receive when you sell
or trade your vehicle.
It is your responsibility to make sure all of the scheduled maintenance is
performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering
specifications. Failure to perform maintenance as specified in the
Owner’s Manual will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by
the lack of maintenance. Make sure that receipts for completed
maintenance work are retained with the vehicle.
Your Ford Motor Company dealer has factory-trained technicians who
can perform the required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. The
dealership looks forward to meeting your every service need to maximize
your satisfaction with your vehicle.
DO WARRANTIES APPLY IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
TheNew Truck Limited Warranty and theEmissions Warranty
described in this booklet apply to your vehicle if:
• it was originally purchased through Ford Export Operation dealers or
the Military Sales Program; or
• it was originally sold or leased by Ford Motor Company or one of its
dealers in the United States or U.S. Federalized Territories, and it was
originally registered/licensed and operated in the United States, U.S.
Federalized Territories, or Canada.
If you meet either of these two requirements, you do have warranty
coverage when you travel with this vehicle outside the United States,
U.S. Federalized Territories, or Canada. In some cases, however, you may
have to pay the servicing Ford dealer in a foreign country for a repair
that is covered under U.S. warranty. If this happens, be sure to save the
paid repair order or invoice. You should present this document to a U.S.
Ford Motor Company dealer for warranty refund consideration. Refer to
www.fleet.ford.com for additional customer assistance reference
information.

WHERE TO GO FOR SERVICE
When you need warranty repairs, your selling dealer would like you to
return to it for that service, but you may also take your vehicle to
another Ford Motor Company dealership authorized for warranty repairs.
Certain warranty repairs require special training though, so not all
dealers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs. That means that,
depending on the warranty repair needed, the vehicle may need to be
taken to another dealer. If a particular dealership cannot assist you, then
contact theFleet Customer Information Center at1-800-343-5338,
or www.fleet.ford.com.
IF YOU NEED EMERGENCY SERVICE
If you need parts and service information away from your local servicing
dealer’s area, call the Fleet Customer Information Center at
1-800-343-5338. If you have an emergency and Ford, Motorcraft, or
remanufactured parts authorized by Ford Motor Company are not readily
available from a Ford dealer, you may choose to use other parts to get
the repairs done quickly. If you decide to use parts other than Ford or
Motorcraft parts, or remanufactured parts authorized by Ford, you
should be aware that they may not be equivalent to Ford parts in
performance, quality, and durability. If you use replacement parts other
than those recommended by Ford, Ford Motor Company does not
warrant these parts and will not be responsible for any damage they may
cause to your truck.
