checks are not required unless a leak is
suspected or the assembly has been
submerged in water. Contact an authorized
dealer for service.

register your vehicle in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item does not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability

useful life. Ford Motor Company, however,
urges you to have all recommended
maintenance services performed at the
specified intervals and to record all vehicle
service.

the engine air filter is dependent on
exposure to dusty and dirty conditions.
