It is your responsibility to make sure that all of the scheduled
maintenance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford
engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled 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 and
confirmation of maintenance work is always entered in yourOwner’s
Manual.
Your Ford or Lincoln dealership, or Ford or Lincoln Quality Care Service
Center, 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.
WHO PAYS FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS?
You will not be charged for repairs covered by any applicable warranty
during the stated coverage periods, unless specifically stated elsewhere
in this guide.
Some states have mandated alternate time coverage periods for parts of
your vehicle (e.g. seatbelts).
Some states and/or local governments may require a tax on a portion of
warranty repairs. Where applicable law allows, the tax must be paid by
you, the owner of the vehicle.
During the Bumper to Bumper Warranty period, dealers may receive
instructions to provide no-cost, service-type improvements - not
originally included in your Owner’s Manual - intended to increase your
overall satisfaction with your vehicle.
Sometimes Ford may offer a special adjustment program to pay all or
part of the cost of certain repairs beyond the terms of the applicable
warranty. Check with your dealer or call 1-800-392-3673 to learn whether
any adjustment program is applicable to your vehicle. Please have your
vehicle identification number available.
