tires FORD ESCAPE 2022 Warranty Guide

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 DRIVENPERCENT 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
