defects in factory supplied material or
workmanship for 100% of labor costs
and on a prorated 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 prorated
adjustment basis according to the
following mileage-based Reimbursement
Schedule:

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
or in this guide if it has been provided to
Ford with a request to publish. 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.
Refer to your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Guide for complete coverage details.

Radial passenger and light truck tires
adjusted under this Limited Warranty will
be replaced free of charge during the first
25% of tread wear or within 12 months
from the date of purchase (proof of
purchase date required; without proof of
purchase date, then within 12 months
from the date of tire manufacture),
whichever occurs first. During the free
replacement period, mounting and
balancing are included free of charge.
To determine the replacement price after
the free tire replacement period, the
percent of used tread wear is multiplied by the current selling price for the
replacement tire(s). The appropriate
taxes, mounting, balancing, disposal fee,
and other service charges may be added
to the adjustment replacement price.
In Canada, the tire will be adjusted at
dealerships (subject to dealer discretion)
at a predetermined “Adjustment Price.”

Limited Warranty, it will be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty, if any, given on
that tire at that time.

authorized Bridgestone Firestone retailer.
