Warranty
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 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 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 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.
