Warranty

Damage Caused by Use and/or the Environment
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover surface rust,
deterioration and damage of paint, trim, upholstery, and other
appearance items that result from use and/or exposure to the elements.
You, as the owner, are responsible for these items. Some examples are:
• dings, dents
• cuts, burns, punctures or tears
• road salt
• tree sap, bird and bee droppings
• windstorm, lightening, hail
• earthquake
• freezing, water or flood
• stone chips, scratches (some examples are on paint and glass)
• windshield stress cracks. However, limited coverage on windshield
stress cracks will be provided for the first 12 months in service,
regardless of miles driven, even though caused by use and/or exposure
to the elements.
Maintenance/Wear
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover: (1) parts and labor
needed to maintain the vehicle; and (2) the replacement of parts due to
normal wear and tear. You, as the owner, are responsible for these items.
See your Scheduled Maintenance Guide. Some examples of maintenance
and normal wear are:
• oil changes
• oils, lubricants, other fluids
• oil/air filters
• tire rotation
• cleaning/polishing
• Clutch linings
• Wiper blades
• Wheel alignments and tire
balancing
• Brake pad/lining
Where a vehicle has no factory-related defect, and is therefore not
entitled to a warranty related repair, replacement or adjustment, it is
Ford policy nonetheless to provide certain maintenance items, when
necessary, free of charge during a limited period:
• wiper blade replacements will be provided during the first 12 months
in service, regardless of miles driven
