It is your responsibility to make sure that all of the scheduled
maintenance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford
engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled
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 or Lincoln dealership, or Ford or Lincoln Quality Care
Service Center, 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.
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 have mandated alternate time coverage periods for
parts of your vehicle (e.g. seatbelts).
Some states and/or local governments may require a tax on a
portion of warranty repairs. Where applicable law allows, the tax
must be paid by you, the owner of the vehicle.
During the Bumper to Bumper Warranty period, dealers may
receive instructions to provide no-cost, service-type
improvements - not originally included in your Owner’s Manual -
intended to increase your overall satisfaction with your 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
1-800-392-3673 to learn whether any adjustment program is
applicable to your vehicle. Please have your vehicle identification
number available.3

3. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty for your2022-model vehicle
LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
All of the warranties in this booklet are subject to the following
limitations and disclaimers:
The warranties in this booklet are the only express warranties
applicable to your vehicle. Ford does not assume or authorize
anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in
connection with your vehicle or these warranties. No person,
including Ford employees or dealers, may modify or waive any
part of these warranties.
Ford and its dealers reserve the right to make changes in or
additions to vehicles built or sold by them at any time without
incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes
or additions to vehicles previously built or sold.
Ford and its dealers also reserve the right to provide
post-warranty repairs, conduct recalls, or extend the warranty
coverage period for certain vehicles or vehicle populations, at
the sole discretion of Ford. The fact that Ford has provided
such measures to a particular vehicle or vehicle population in
no way obligates Ford to provide similar accommodations to
other owners of similar vehicles.
As a condition of these warranties, you are responsible for
properly using, maintaining, and caring for your vehicle as
outlined in your Owner’s Manual. Ford recommends that you
maintain copies of all maintenance records and receipts for
review by Ford.

that you lose, any inconvenience you might be caused, the loss
of your transportation or use of your vehicle, the cost of rental
vehicles, fuel, telephone, travel, meals, or lodging, the loss of
personal or commercial property, the loss of revenue, or for any
other incidental or consequential damages you may have.

representative, a private attorney general, a member of a class
of claimants or in any other representative capacity.

have an implied warranty of merchantability (that the car or
light truck is reasonably fit for the general purpose for which it
was sold) or an implied warranty of fitness for a particular
purpose (that the car or light truck is suitable for your special
purposes), if a special purpose was specifically disclosed to
Ford itself not merely to the dealer before your purchase, and
Ford itself not just the dealer told you the vehicle would be
suitable for that purpose.
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by
law, to the time period covered by the written warranties, or to
the applicable time period provided by state law, whichever
period is shorter.DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR BUSINESS
AND RACING USE
*** Ford disclaims all implied warranties if the vehicle is used
for business or commercial purposes. ***

ROADSIDE SERVICE ASSISTANCE
(UNITED STATES, PUERTO RICO, AND U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS)
Your vehicle is covered by the complimentary Ford Roadside
Assistance Program (unless you are driving a daily rental unit).

• Towing to the nearest Ford Motor Company dealership, ortowing to your selling dealership if within 35 miles of the
disablement

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of
the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Ford
Motor Company recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your vehicle, but Ford cannot deny
warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure
to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a Ford Motor
Company dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not
to exceed 30 days.
As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Ford Motor
Company may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a
part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or
unapproved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, or if you want to report what you believe to be
violations of the terms of this warranty, you may contact the Ford
Customer Relationship Center at 1-800-392-3673 (FORD) or the
California Air Resources Board at:California Air Resources Board
9528 Telstar Avenue
El Monte, California 91731

7. Additional information about your emissions warrantycoverage, under Federal and California requirements
HOW DO I GET WARRANTY SERVICE?
To get service under your emissions warranties, take your vehicle
to any Ford Motor Company dealer as soon as possible after
illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Light or it has failed an
EPA-approved test or a California Smog Check inspection. Be
sure to show the dealer the document that says your vehicle has
failed the test.
Your dealer will determine whether the repair is covered by the
warranty. If the dealer has a question about Emissions
Performance Warranty coverage, it will forward the question to
Ford Motor Company, which must make a final decision within 30
days after you bring your vehicle in for repair. (The decision will
be made within a shorter time if state, local, or federal law
requires you to have the vehicle repaired more quickly in order to
avoid additional penalties.) The deadline for a determination
about Emissions Performance Warranty Coverage does not need
to be met if you request a delay, agree to a delay in writing, or if
the delay is caused by an event for which neither Ford nor your
dealer is responsible. If a question about Emissions Performance
Warranty coverage is referred to Ford Motor Company, you will be
notified by Ford Motor Company in writing if your claim for
warranty coverage is denied. The notice will explain the basis for
denying your claim. If you fail to receive this notice within a timely
manner, as determined above, Ford will perform the warranty
repair for you free of charge.
HOW DO I HANDLE EMERGENCY REPAIRS?
If your vehicle needs an emergency warrantable repair and a Ford
Motor Company dealer is not available, or if a Ford Motor
Company dealer cannot perform warrantable repair(s) within 30
days of you bringing your vehicle to the dealer, repairs may be
performed at any service establishment or by you using Ford
equivalent replacement parts.
39
Page 47 of 55

Ford will reimburse you for the cost of these warranty repairs
including diagnosis, if you take the part(s) that are replaced and
the repair receipt(s) to a Ford Motor Company dealer. The
reimbursement shall not exceed Ford's suggested retail price for
the warranted parts that are replaced and labor charges based
on Ford's recommended time allowance for the warranty repair
and the geographically appropriate hourly rate.
WHAT REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD I USE?
Ford Motor Company recommends that you use genuine Ford
replacement parts. However, when you are having non-warranty
work done on your vehicle, you may choose to use non-Ford
parts. If you decide to use non-Ford parts, be sure they are
equivalent to Ford parts in performance, quality, and durability. If
you use replacement parts that are not equivalent to Ford parts,
your vehicle's emissions control systems may not work as
effectively, and you may jeopardize your emissions warranty
coverage.
Under the Federal and California emissions warranties, Ford will
repair or replace covered parts if they are properly installed Ford
parts or the equivalent, or non-Ford parts that have been certified
by the U.S. EPA or the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
Ford is not responsible for the cost or repairing or replacing
non-Ford parts that are not equivalent to Ford parts or that have
not been certified by EPA or CARB.
The maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control
devices or systems can be performed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual using Ford replacement parts or
the equivalent, or EPA- or CARB-certified parts, without
voiding your emissions warranty coverage for future repairs
during the applicable warranty period.
