1. Introduction
Ford Motor Companyand your selling dealer thank you for selecting
one of our quality products. Our commitment to you and your vehicle
begins with quality protection and 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 the Customer Relationship Center at 1-800-392-3673.
This booklet explains in detail the warranty coverages that apply to your
2018-model car or light truck. If you bought a previously owned
2018-model vehicle, you are eligible for any remaining warranty
coverages.
Ford Motor Company provides the Emissions Defect Warrantiesand
Emissions Performance Warranties which cover your emissions
control systems, and Noise Emissions Warranty which applies only to
medium/heavy duty trucks over 10,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (pages 17-32).

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 on the front
page of this booklet.
In addition, if you are an eligible U.S. owner, you may use - at no cost -
the services of the BBB AUTO LINE program. For details, see Better
Business Bureau (BBB) AUTO LINE program,
page 34 or call
1-800-955-5100.
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 (for example, as a dealer
demonstrator), whichever occurs first.
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.
MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY
Your glove compartment contains an Owner’s Manualwhich indicates
the scheduled maintenance required for your vehicle. Proper
maintenance guards against major repair expenses resulting from neglect
or inadequate maintenance, may help increase the value you receive
when you sell or trade your vehicle, and is important in allowing your
vehicle to comply with applicable emissions standards.
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

DO WARRANTIES APPLY IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
TheNew Vehicle Limited Warranty and theEmissions Warranties
described in this booklet apply to your vehicle if:
• it was originally purchased through the Ford Export Operations
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 or U.S.
Federalized Territory for a repair that is covered under the 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.Ford.com for additional customer assistance reference information.

The warranties contained in this booklet and all questions regarding
their enforceability and interpretation are governed by the law of the
state in which you purchased your Ford vehicle. Some states do not
allow Ford to limit how long an implied warranty lasts or to exclude
or limit incidental or consequential damages, so the limitation and
exclusions described above may not apply to you.
NOTE: This information about the limitation of implied
warranties and the exclusion of incidental and consequential
damages under the NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY also
applies to the EMISSIONS WARRANTIES described on pages
17-31.
Ford participates in the BBB AUTO LINE warranty dispute resolution
program. You may contact BBB AUTO LINE by calling 800-955-5100.
You are required to submit your warranty dispute to the BBB AUTO
LINE before exercising rights or seeking remedies under the Federal
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq. To the extent
permitted by the applicable state ‘‘Lemon Law’’, you are also required
to submit your warranty dispute to the BBB AUTO LINE before
exercising any rights or seeking remedies under the ‘‘Lemon Law’’. If
you choose to seek remedies that are not created by the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or the applicable state ‘‘Lemon Law,’’
you are not required to first use BBB AUTO LINE to resolve your
dispute – although the program is still available to you.
For more information regarding the BBB AUTO LINE program, see
page 34 of this booklet.7
