Warranty

Some maintenance and wear items have limited coverage, as follows:
•
wiper blade replacements are not
covered beyond 12 months in ser-
vice, regardless of miles driven
• wheel alignments and tire bal-
ancing (unless required by a war-
ranty repair) are not covered
beyond 12 months or 12,000
miles, whichever occurs first
• Brake pad/lining replacements
are not covered beyond 12
months or 18,000 miles, which-
ever occurs first
Tire Wear or Damage
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover normal wear or worn-
out tires. Tires will not be replaced (unless required by a warranty re-
pair) for wear or damage including:
• tire damage from road hazard such as cuts, snags, bruises, bulges,
puncture, and impact breaks
• tire damage due to under or over inflation, tire chain use, racing, spin-
ning (as when stuck in snow or mud), improper mounting or dis-
mounting, or tire repair
•
tire vibration or ride harshness and uneven or rapid tire wear. However,
limited coverage for these conditions will be provided for the first 12
months in service or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first, even though
caused by maintenance and wear items such as wheel alignment or tire
balancing. This limitation for ride harshness and uneven or rapid tire
wear does not apply to tire replacement on the New Style F-150 Truck.
Other Items or Conditions Not Covered
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover:
• vehicles that have had the odometer disconnected, altered, or inopera-
tive for an extended period of time with the result that the actual
mileage cannot be determined

⬙flood⬙, ⬙junk⬙, ⬙rebuilt⬙, ⬙reconstructed⬙,or⬙salvaged⬙; this will void

company; this will void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
• any Ford or Mercury vehicles (except Excursion modified by a Quali-
fied Vehicle Modifier using the XLT package with a 6.8L engine and

New Vehicle Limited Warranty. See additional information about au-
thorized Excursion modification on page 28

Prep Package, see important information about ambulance conversions
