Important Information about List of Parts
There may be additional coverage for these parts through the
Bumper to Bumper, Powertrain, or Diesel Engine limited
warranties. In any case, the warranty with the broadest coverage
applies.
Also covered by this warranty are all emissions-related bulbs,
hoses, clamps, brackets, tubes, gaskets, seals, belts, connectors,
non diesel fuel lines, and wiring harnesses that are used with
components on the list of parts above.
Concerning parts that should be replaced on a certain
maintenance schedule: these parts remain under warranty until
the first required replacement time that is specified in your
Owner’s Manual.
NOTE: If the diagnosis does not reveal a defect, the Defects
Warranty does not apply.
Your Ford Motor Company dealer maintains a complete list of
covered parts. For more details about the specific parts that are
covered by the Defects Warranty, contact your dealer.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
Ford Motor Company may deny you emissions warranty coverage
if your vehicle or a part does not contain a defect that affects
emissions or has failed because of abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance, unapproved modifications, or any items included in
What Is Not Covered?, pages 14-19.

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.
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 done 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 emissions control systems may not work as
effectively, and you may jeopardize your emissions warranty
coverage.
Under the Federal and California emissions warranties, Ford will
repair or replace covered parts if they are properly installed Ford
parts or the equivalent, or non-Ford parts that have been certified
by the U.S. EPA or the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
Ford is not responsible for the cost or repairing or replacing
non-Ford parts that are not equivalent to Ford parts or that have
not been certified by EPA or CARB.
The maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control
devices or systems can be performed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual using Ford replacement parts or
the equivalent, or EPA- or CARB-certified parts, without
voiding your emissions warranty coverage for future repairs
during the applicable warranty period.
