New Vehicle Warranty
(page 8)
QUICK REFERENCE: WARRANTY COVERAGE
This chart gives a general summary of your warranty coverage provided by Ford Motor Company or Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Please refer to the description of warranty coverage for more specific information.
For each type of coverage, the chart shows two measures:
Years in Service Miles Driven
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
The measure that occurs first determines how long your coverage lasts. For example: Your Bumper to Bumper Coverage lasts for three years - unless you drive more than 36,000 miles before three years elapse. In that case, your coverage ends at 36,000 miles.
 
WHAT IS COVERED?
Your NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights that vary from state to state. Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty if:
 
-your Ford vehicle is properly operated and maintained, and
-was taken to a Ford dealership for a warranted repair during the warranty period,
 
then authorized Ford Motor Company dealers will, withour charge, repair, replace, or adjust all parts on your vehicle that malfunction or fail during normal use during the applicable coverage period due to manufacturing defect in factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship.
 
(page 9)
This warranty does not mean that each Ford vehicle is defect free. Defects may be unintentionally introduced into vehicles during the design and manufacturing processes and such defects could result in the need for repairs. For this reason, Ford provides the New Vehicle Limited Warranty in order to remedy any such defects that result in vehicle part malfunction or failure during the warranty period.
 
The remedy under this written warranty, and any implied warranty, is limited to repair, replacement, or adjustment of defective parts. This exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to have failed its essential purpose so long as Ford, through it's authorized dealers, is willing and able to repair, replace, or adjust defective parts in the prescribed manner. Ford's liability, if any, shall in no event exceed the cost or correcting manufacturing defects as herein provided and upon expiration of this warranty, any such liability shall terminate.
 
The remedy under this written warranty, and any implied warranty, is limited to repair, Conditions that are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty are described on pages 12-15. 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, at the discretion of Ford or the Ford dealership.
 
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 deagnose and repair any defect covered by this warranty.
 
In certain instances, Ford may authorize repairs at other than Ford dealer facilities.
 
Two seperate 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).
 
(page 10)
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 DRIVEN PERCENT 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 sepatate 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 than Ford dealer facilities. Tire replacements under warranty will be made with the same brand and model as orifinally 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.
 
Normal tire wear or damage is not reinbursable. See page 14 for details of what is not covered.
 
Extended warrantyh coverage periods are available for certain vehicle parts and conditions. Specifically,
 
(1) Your vehicle's Powertrain components are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
