repairs, conduct recalls, or extend the warranty coverage period for
certain vehicles or vehicle populations, at the sole discretion of Ford.
The fact that Ford has provided such measures to a particular vehicle
or vehicle population in no way obligates Ford to provide similar
accommodations to other owners of similar vehicles.
As a condition of these warranties, you are responsible for properly
using, maintaining, and caring for your vehicle as outlined in your
Owner’s Manual. Ford recommends that you maintain copies of all
maintenance records and receipts for review by Ford.

need for repairs. Ford provides the New Vehicle Limited Warranty only
to remedy manufacturing defects that result in vehicle part malfunction
or failure during the warranty period.

liability, if any, shall in no event exceed the cost of correcting
manufacturing defects as herein provided and upon expiration of this
warranty, any such liability shall terminate.

vehicle, the dealer will use Ford or Motorcraft parts or remanufactured
or other parts that are authorized by Ford, at the discretion of Ford or
the Ford dealership.
Nothing in this warranty should be construed as requiring defective parts
to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original
part, so long as the vehicle functions properly with the replacement part.
Moreover, Ford and its authorized dealers are entitled to a reasonable
time and a reasonable number of attempts within which to diagnose and
repair any defect covered by this warranty.
