2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH-E Warranty Guide

5. Additional information about your warranty coverage
NOTE: Fully-electric vehicles are not eligible for any emissions
warranties.
WHAT REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD I USE?
Ford Motor Company recommends that you use genuine Ford
replacement parts. However, when you are having non-warranty work
performed on your vehicle, you may choose to use non-Ford parts. If you
decide to use non-Ford parts, be sure they are equivalent to Ford parts
in performance, quality, and durability. If you use replacement parts that
are not equivalent to Ford parts, your vehicle’s systems may not work as
effectively, and you may jeopardize your warranty coverage.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in your Owner’s Manual. Ford Motor
Company recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance
on your vehicle, but Ford cannot deny warranty coverage soley for the
lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a Ford Motor
Company Dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs
should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed
30 days.
As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Ford Motor
Company may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved
modifications.

To preserve your warranty,the following conditions should be observed
(See Owner’s Manual for further detail):
• Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the proper ways your vehicle’s battery
must be maintained in the event the vehicle is not driven or is stored
for an extended period.
• Follow all instructions for use and charging of the high voltage battery
assembly
• Use the vehicle, charging equipment, and high voltage battery
assembly as intended and as described in the Owner Manual, and in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Have all high voltage battery assembly service and repairs performed
by properly qualified and equipped personnel at an EV Certified Ford
dealership.
PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY
The high voltage battery assembly in the vehicle is designed to operate
within a sealed system. Removing the high voltage battery assembly from
the vehicle, or opening the high voltage battery assembly, creates a risk
of damage to the high voltage battery assembly, as well as a risk of
personal injury, including electrocution. EV Certified Ford dealerships
are specially trained and equipped to repair the high voltage battery
assembly and high voltage systems on the vehicle, and are the only
repair facilities authorized to repair the high voltage battery assembly.
In order to maintain optimal battery life and functionality of your vehicle,
it is imperative that all high voltage battery software updates are
installed. You are responsible for ensuring all software updates are
installed within 30 days of software availability. You can most easily
accomplish this by keeping Automatic Updates set to ON. If you are
unable or choose not to use your vehicle’s connectivity features to
update software, your Ford Dealer can determine if software updates are
available for your vehicle and perform these updates. Battery system
updates will be installed at no cost to you during the warranty period.
Damage resulting from failure to install battery system updates will not
be covered under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
21

During the warranty coverage period, Ford Motor Company warrants that
you will not be charged for diagnosis, repair, replacement, or adjustment
of components that are damaged or inoperable due to a defect caused by
an OTA update.
If you do not maintain your vehicle properly, Ford may have the right to
deny you warranty coverage. To have repairs made under this warranty,
you may have to show that you have followed Ford’s instructions on
properly maintaining and using your vehicle. You will find these
instructions in yourOwner’s Manual. Be sure to save your service
receipts and to keep accurate records of all maintenance work.

Dealer. If a warranty concern has not been resolved using the three-step
procedure outlined on the first page of the Customer Assistance section,
you may be eligible to participate in the BBB AUTO LINE program.
The BBB AUTO LINE program consists of two parts — mediation and
arbitration. During mediation, a representative of the BBB will contact
both you and Ford Motor Company to explore options for settlement of
the claim. If an agreement is not reached during mediation and your
claim is eligible, you may participate in the arbitration process. An
arbitration hearing will be scheduled so that you can present your case
in an informal setting before an impartial person. The arbitrator will
consider the testimony provided and make a decision after the hearing.
You are not bound by the decision, but should you choose to accept the
BBB AUTO LINE decision, Ford must abide by the accepted decision as
well. Disputes submitted to the BBB AUTO LINE program are usually
decided within forty days after you file your claim with the BBB.
BBB AUTO LINE Application: Using the information provided below,
please call or write to request a program application. You will be asked
for your name and address, general information about your new vehicle,
information about your warranty concerns, and any steps you have
already taken to try to resolve them. A Customer Claim Form will be
mailed that will need to be completed, signed, and returned to the BBB
along with proof of ownership. Upon request, the BBB will review the
claim for eligibility under the Program Summary Guidelines.

9. State warranty enforcement laws
These state laws - sometimes calledlemon laws- allow owners to
receive a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price, under
certain circumstances. The laws vary from state to state.
To the extent your state law allows, Ford Motor Company requires that
you first send us a written notification of any defects or non-conformities
that you have experienced with your vehicle. (This will give us the
opportunity to make any needed repairs before you pursue the remedies
provided by your state’s law.)
In all other states where not specifically required by state law, Ford
Motor Company requests that you give us the written notice. Send your
written notification to:
Ford Motor Company
Customer Relationship Center
P.O. Box 6248
Dearborn, MI 48126

10. Important information about ambulanceconversions
Ford vehicles are suitable for producing ambulances only if equipped
with the Ford Ambulance Prep Package. In addition, Ford urges
ambulance manufacturers to follow the recommendations of the Ford
Incomplete Vehicle Manual and theFord Truck Body Builders
Layout Book (and pertinent supplements).
Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford Ambulance Prep Package
to produce an ambulance could result in elevated underbody
temperatures, fuel over pressurization, and the risk of fuel
expulsion and fires. Such use also voids the Ford Bumper to
Bumper Warranty and may void the Emissions Warranties.
You may determine whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford
Ambulance Prep Package by inspecting the information plate on the
driver’s rear door pillar.
You may determine whether the ambulance manufacturer has followed
Ford’s recommendations by contacting the ambulance manufacturer of
your vehicle.
