2020 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT light

1. Introduction
Ford Motor Companyand your selling dealer thank you for selecting
one of our quality products. Our commitment to you and your vehicle
begins with quality protection and service.
When you need warranty repairs, your selling dealer would like you to
return to it for that service, but you may also take your vehicle to
another Ford Motor Company dealership authorized for warranty repairs.
Certain warranty repairs require special training though, so not all
dealers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs. That means that,
depending on the warranty repair needed, the vehicle may need to be
taken to another dealer. If a particular dealership cannot assist you, then
contact the Customer Relationship Center at 1-800-392-3673.
This booklet explains in detail the warranty coverages that apply to your
2020-model car or light truck. If you bought a previously owned
2020-model vehicle, you are eligible for any remaining warranty
coverages.
Ford Motor Company provides the Emissions Defect Warrantiesand
Emissions Performance Warranties which cover your emissions
control systems, and Noise Emissions Warranty which applies only to
medium/heavy duty trucks over 10,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (pages 17-31).

Ford and your dealer are not responsible for any time or income that
you lose, any inconvenience you might be caused, the loss of your
transportation or use of your vehicle, the cost of rental vehicles, fuel,
telephone, travel, meals, or lodging, the loss of personal or commercial
property, the loss of revenue, or for any other incidental or
consequential damages you may have.
Punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages may not be recovered unless
applicable law prohibits their disclaimer.

representative, a private attorney general, a member of a class of
claimants or in any other representative capacity.
Ford shall not be liable for any damages caused by delay in delivery or
furnishing of any products and/or services.
You may have some implied warranties. For example, you may have an
implied warranty of merchantability (that the car or light truck is
reasonably fit for the general purpose for which it was sold) or an
implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose (that the car or
light truck is suitable for your special purposes), if a special purpose
was specifically disclosed to Ford itself not merely to the dealer
before your purchase, and Ford itself not just the dealer told you the
vehicle would be suitable for that purpose.
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to
the time period covered by the written warranties, or to the applicable
time period provided by state law, whichever period is shorter.
DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR BUSINESS AND
RACING USE
*** Ford disclaims all implied warranties if the vehicle is
used for business or commercial purposes. ***

7. Additional information about your emissions warrantycoverage, under Federal and California requirements
HOW DO I GET WARRANTY SERVICE?
To get service under your emissions warranties, take your vehicle to any
Ford Motor Company dealer as soon as possible after illumination of the
Malfunction Indicator Light or it has failed an EPA-approved test or a
California Smog Check inspection. Be sure to show the dealer the
document that says your vehicle has failed the test.
Your dealer will determine whether the repair is covered by the warranty.
If the dealer has a question about Emissions Performance Warranty
coverage, it will forward the question to Ford Motor Company, which
must make a final decision within 30 days after you bring your vehicle in
for repair. (The decision will be made within a shorter time if state, local,
or federal law requires you to have the vehicle repaired more quickly in
order to avoid additional penalties.) The deadline for a determination
about Emissions Performance Warranty Coverage does not need to be
met if you request a delay, agree to a delay in writing, or if the delay is
caused by an event for which neither Ford nor your dealer is
responsible. If a question about Emissions Performance Warranty
coverage is referred to Ford Motor Company, you will be notified by Ford
Motor Company in writing if your claim for warranty coverage is denied.
The notice will explain the basis for denying your claim. If you fail to
receive this notice within a timely manner, as determined above, Ford
will perform the warranty repair for you free of charge.
HOW DO I HANDLE EMERGENCY REPAIRS?
If your vehicle needs an emergency warrantable repair and a Ford Motor
Company dealer is not available, or if a Ford Motor Company dealer
cannot perform warrantable repair(s) within 30 days of you bringing
your vehicle to the dealer, repairs may be performed at any service
establishment or by you using Ford equivalent replacement parts.
Ford will reimburse you for the cost of these warranty repairs including
diagnosis, if you take the part(s) that are replaced and the repair
receipt(s) to a Ford Motor Company dealer. The reimbursement shall not
exceed Ford’s suggested retail price for the warranted parts that are
replaced and labor charges based on Ford’s recommended time allowance
for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly rate.
