Two separate warranties apply to tires on your new vehicle. The New
Vehicle Limited Warranty covers tire defects in factory supplied material
or workmanship for 100% of labor costs and on a pro rata adjustment
basis for parts. (See the reimbursement schedule below).
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.
