Emissions FORD EXPEDITION 2018 Warranty Guide

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.
PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY
If you do not maintain your vehicle properly, Ford may have the right to
deny you warranty coverage.
To have repairs made under this warranty, you may have to show that
you have followed Ford’s instructions on properly maintaining and using
your vehicle. You will find these instructions in yourOwner’s Manual.
Be sure to save your service receipts and to keep accurate records of all
maintenance work.

12. Important information about ambulanceconversions
Ford vehicles are suitable for producing ambulances only if equipped
with the Ford Ambulance Prep Package . In addition, Ford urges
ambulance manufacturers to follow the recommendations of the Ford
Incomplete Vehicle Manual and theFord Truck Body Builders
Layout Book (and pertinent supplements).
Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford Ambulance Prep Package
to produce an ambulance could result in elevated underbody
temperatures, fuel overpressurization, and the risk of fuel
expulsion and fires. Such use also voids the Ford Bumper to
Bumper Warranty and may void the Emissions Warranties.
You may determine whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford
Ambulance Prep Package by inspecting the information plate on the
driver’s rear door pillar.
You may determine whether the ambulance manufacturer has followed
Ford’s recommendations by contacting the ambulance manufacturer of
your vehicle.
