2020 FORD F-53 Warranty Guide

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. Ford recommends
that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle, but
Ford cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for
your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a Ford dealer as soon
as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a
reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Ford may deny you
warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
If you have questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities,
or if you want to report what you believe to be violations of the terms of
this warranty, you may contact the Fleet Customer Relationship Center
at 1-800-343-5338 or contact:

7. Additional information about your emissions warrantycoverage, under federal and California requirements
HOW DO I GET SERVICE?
To get service under your emissions warranties, take your vehicle to an
authorized Ford Motor Company dealer as soon as possible.
HOW DO I HANDLE EMERGENCY REPAIRS?
If your truck needs an emergency repair on emissions-related parts, and
an authorized Ford Motor Company dealer is not available — so that you
must have covered repairs made by someone other than a Ford Motor
Company dealer — your Ford dealer will reimburse you for the cost of
repairs including diagnosis. Be sure to obtain: (a) the parts that are
replaced; and (b) a receipt for the work. Take the parts and receipt to
your dealer, who will determine if the repair is covered under warranty.
You should follow the same procedure if a warranted part is not available
at your Ford dealer within 30 days from the time you first bring your
vehicle to your dealer for repairs, and you must go elsewhere for repairs.
Any repair not completed within 30 days also constitutes an emergency,
and any equivalent replacement part may be used in an emergency
situation. Ford will reimburse you for the repair expenses, not to exceed
(a) the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for all warranted parts that
are replaced; and (b) the labor charges (based on the manufacturer’s
recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the
geographically appropriate hourly labor rate).
WHAT REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD I USE?
Ford 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 truck’s emissions
control systems may not work as effectively and you may jeopardize your
emissions warranty coverage.
22

For trucks within the warranty period, Ford will repair at no cost to the
owner, under the Federal Emissions Warranty, covered emission failures
caused by properly installed Ford parts or non-Ford parts that have been
‘‘certified’’ by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Ford is
not responsible for the cost of repairing any emission failures caused by
non-Ford parts that have not been ‘‘certified’’ by the EPA.
NOTE: FEDERAL WARRANTY ONLY The maintenance, replacement,
or repair of emissions control devices or systems, the cost of which is
not covered by the warranties, can be performed by any automotive
establishment or individual using non-Ford parts.
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 your Owner’s Manual and
Service Guide. Be sure to save your service receipts and to keep
accurate records of all maintenance work.
If you are not satisfied with the handling of a warranty matter, see
Customer Assistance address on the inside front cover of this guide or
call the Fleet Customer Relationship Center at 1-800-343-5338.

10. How to apply for a delayed warranty start dateor in-transit mileage accumulation extension
You may be eligible to request a delayed warranty start date and/or
in-transit mileage accumulation extension if:
•you purchased your truck from someone who is not a Ford dealer,
such as a body company (i.e., bus body manufacturer, crane and
special equipment company, etc.); or
• the truck was not put into service immediately after you purchased it
because it was delivered to a firm to have a special body or special
equipment installed; or
• your new truck was driven (not transported) from the assembly plant
to the dealer or to a body company and then to the dealer or other
locations.
If one of these conditions applies to you, work with your Ford dealer to
establish the correct warranty start date or in-transit mileage
accumulation extension for your new truck. Be sure to keep a copy of
the documents should you need a warranty repair in the future. You will
need your sales invoice and/or state registration that shows the date that
your specially equipped truck was delivered to you.
Important: Failure to request a delayed warranty start date or
in-transmit mileage accumulation extension may reduce the
period of effective warranty coverage.
