2. Important information you should know
IF YOU NEED CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
Your Ford Motor Company dealer is available to assist you with all your
automotive needs. Please follow the procedures outlined inCustomer
Assistance on the front page of this booklet.
If you require assistance directly from Ford Motor Company, contact the
Fleet Customer Information Center at 1-800-343-5338, or refer to
www.fleet.ford.com.
KNOW WHEN YOUR WARRANTY BEGINS
Your Warranty Start Date is the day you take delivery of your new
vehicle or the day it is first put into service, whichever occurs first.
Under certain conditions, you may be eligible to request a delayed
warranty start date or intransit mileage accumulation extension. See
page 26 to see if you are eligible and for instructions on how to apply for
this change.
CHECK YOUR VEHICLE
We try to check vehicles carefully at the assembly plant and the
dealership, and we usually correct any damage to paint, sheet metal,
upholstery, or other appearance items. But occasionally something may
slip past us, and a customer may find that a vehicle was damaged before
he or she took delivery. If you see any damage when you receive your
vehicle, notify your dealership within one week of the delivery date.

MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY
Your vehicle contains an Owner’s Manual which indicates the scheduled
maintenance required for your vehicle. Proper maintenance guards
against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate
maintenance, and may help increase the value you receive when you sell
or trade your vehicle.
It is your responsibility to make sure all of the scheduled maintenance is
performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering
specifications. Failure to perform 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 Motor Company dealer 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.
DO WARRANTIES APPLY IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
TheNew Truck Limited Warranty and theEmissions Warranty
described in this booklet apply to your vehicle if:
• it was originally purchased through Ford Export Operation dealers or
the Military Sales Program; or
• it was originally sold or leased by Ford Motor Company or one of its
dealers in the United States or U.S. Federalized Territories, and it was
originally registered/licensed and operated in the United States, U.S.
Federalized Territories, or Canada.
If you meet either of these two requirements, you do have warranty
coverage when you travel with this vehicle outside the United States,
U.S. Federalized Territories, or Canada. In some cases, however, you may
have to pay the servicing Ford dealer in a foreign country for a repair
that is covered under U.S. warranty. If this happens, be sure to save the
paid repair order or invoice. You should present this document to a U.S.
Ford Motor Company dealer for warranty refund consideration. Refer to
www.fleet.ford.com for additional customer assistance reference
information.

WHERE TO GO FOR SERVICE
When you need warranty repairs, your selling dealer would like you to
return to it for that service, but you may also take your vehicle to
another Ford Motor Company dealership authorized for warranty repairs.
Certain warranty repairs require special training though, so not all
dealers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs. That means that,
depending on the warranty repair needed, the vehicle may need to be
taken to another dealer. If a particular dealership cannot assist you, then
contact theFleet Customer Information Center at1-800-343-5338,
or www.fleet.ford.com.
IF YOU NEED EMERGENCY SERVICE
If you need parts and service information away from your local servicing
dealer’s area, call the Fleet Customer Information Center at
1-800-343-5338. If you have an emergency and Ford, Motorcraft, or
remanufactured parts authorized by Ford Motor Company are not readily
available from a Ford dealer, you may choose to use other parts to get
the repairs done quickly. If you decide to use parts other than Ford or
Motorcraft parts, or remanufactured parts authorized by Ford, you
should be aware that they may not be equivalent to Ford parts in
performance, quality, and durability. If you use replacement parts other
than those recommended by Ford, Ford Motor Company does not
warrant these parts and will not be responsible for any damage they may
cause to your truck.

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 may require a tax on all or a portion of warranty repairs.
Where state law allows, the tax must be paid by you, the owner of the
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 theFleet Customer
Information Center at 1-800-343-5338 or www.fleet.ford.com to
learn whether any adjustment program is applicable to your vehicle.
Please have your vehicle identification number available.
OTHER MANUFACTURERS’ WARRANTIES
The warranty coverage on tires is usually based on tread wear. Because
the tires on your vehicle are warranted by the tire manufacturer and not
by Ford Motor Company or your selling dealer, you should check the tire
warranty or consult an authorized dealer or distributor of the tire
manufacturer.
