KNOW WHEN YOUR WARRANTY BEGINS
YourWarranty Start Date is the day you take delivery of your
new Ford GT.
CHECK YOUR VEHICLE
We inspect each Ford GT carefully at the assembly facility and
again prior to delivery. But occasionally something may slip past
us, and a customer may find that a vehicle was damaged before
he or she took delivery. If you see any damage when you receive
your vehicle, notify your dealership within one week.
MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY
Your Ford GT Owner’s Manual includes the scheduled
maintenance required for your vehicle. Proper maintenance
guards against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or
inadequate maintenance, may help increase the value you
receive when you sell or trade your vehicle, and is important in
allowing your vehicle to comply with applicable emissions
standards.
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.
5
Make sure that receipts for completed maintenance work are
retained with the vehicle and confirmation of maintenance work
is always entered in yourOwner’s Manualin the pages provided.
Your Ford GT Service Dealership, 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 the Ford GT
Concierge at 1-800-210-5795 to learn whether any adjustment
program is applicable to your vehicle. Please have your vehicle
identification number available.
