It is your responsibility to make sure that all of the scheduled
maintenance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford
engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled
maintenance as specified in the Owner’s Manual will invalidate
warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance.
Make sure that receipts for completed maintenance work are
retained with the vehicle.
Your Ford or Lincoln dealership, or Ford or Lincoln Quality Care
Service Center, has factory-trained technicians who can perform
the required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. The
dealership looks forward to meeting your every service need to
maximize your satisfaction with your vehicle.
WHO PAYS FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS?
You will not be charged for repairs covered by any applicable
warranty during the stated coverage periods, unless specifically
stated elsewhere in this guide.
Some states have mandated alternate time coverage periods for
parts of your vehicle (e.g. seatbelts).
Some states and/or local governments may require a tax on a
portion of warranty repairs. Where applicable law allows, the tax
must be paid by you, the owner of the vehicle.
During the Bumper to Bumper Warranty period, dealers may
receive instructions to provide no-cost, service-type
improvements - not originally included in your Owner’s Manual -
intended to increase your overall satisfaction with your vehicle.
Sometimes Ford may offer a special adjustment program to pay
all or part of the cost of certain repairs beyond the terms of the
applicable warranty. Check with your dealer or call
1-800-392-3673 to learn whether any adjustment program is
applicable to your vehicle. Please have your vehicle identification
number available.3
Nothing in this warranty should be construed as requiring
defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or
design than the original part, so long as the vehicle functions
properly with the replacement part. Moreover, Ford and its
authorized dealers are entitled to a reasonable time and a
reasonable number of attempts within which to diagnose and
repair any defect covered by this warranty.
In certain instances, Ford may authorize repairs at other than
Ford dealer facilities.
Two separate warranties apply to tires on your new vehicle. The
New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers tire defects in factory
supplied material or workmanship for 100% of labor costs and
on a pro rata 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 pro rata adjustment basis according to the
following mileage-based Reimbursement Schedule:
MILES DRIVENPERCENT OF PARTS COVERED BY FORD
1-12,000 100%
12,001-24,000 60%
24,001-36,000 30%
The tire manufacturer also provides 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. 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
