standards using quality parts. We
recommend that you demand the use of

identify genuine Ford, Lincoln and Motorcraft
parts by looking for the Ford, Lincoln,
FoMoCo or Motorcraft branding on the parts
or their packaging.

meet our stringent requirements for fit, finish,
structural integrity, corrosion protection and
dent resistance. During vehicle development
we validate that these parts deliver the
intended level of protection as a whole
system. A great way to know for sure you
are getting this level of protection is to use
genuine Ford, Lincoln replacement collision
parts. Warranty on Replacement Parts

of the failure of non-Ford, non-Lincoln parts
