WHAT IS COVERED?
The New Truck Limited Warranty coverage is provided by Ford Motor
Company. Your New Truck Limited Warranty gives you specific legal
rights. You may have other rights that vary from state to state.
Under your New Truck Limited Warranty if:
- your Ford vehicle is properly operated and maintained, and
- was taken to a Ford dealership for a warranted repair during thewarranty period, then authorized Ford Motor Company dealers will,
without charge, repair, replace, or adjust all parts on your vehicle that
malfunction or fail during normal use during the applicable Warranty
coverage period due to a manufacturing defect in factory-supplied
materials or workmanship.
This warranty does not mean that each Ford vehicle is defect free.
Defects may be unintentionally introduced into vehicles during the
design and manufacturing processes and such defects could result in the
need for repairs. For this reason, Ford provides the New Truck Limited
Warranty in order to remedy any such defects that result in vehicle part
malfunction or failure during the warranty period.
The remedy under this written warranty, and any implied warranty, is
limited to repair, replacement, or adjustment of defective parts. This
exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to have failed its essential purpose
so long as Ford, through its authorized dealers, is willing and able to
repair, replace, or adjust defective parts in the prescribed manner. Ford’s
liability, if any, shall in no event exceed the cost of correcting
manufacturing defects as herein provided and upon expiration of this
warranty, any such liability shall terminate.
Conditions that are not covered by the New Truck Limited Warranty are
described on pages 12-15. 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, at the discretion of Ford or
the Ford dealership.
9

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.
Basic Coverage
Basic coverage for the F-600/F53/F59 truck begins at the warranty start
date and extends for 2 years, regardless of miles driven.
Extended Warranty Coverage Periods Applicable To Certain Parts
Extended Warranty Coverage Periods are available for certain vehicle
parts and conditions. Except as noted below, all of the terms of the New
Truck Limited Warranty apply during these extended coverage periods.
Engine Coverage
The 6.7L PowerStroke diesel engine and engine components are covered
against defects in factory supplied materials or workmanship. Engine
Coverage begins at the warranty start date and extends for 5 years /

Corrosion Coverage
Corrosion coverage begins at the warranty start date and covers cab
sheet metal panels against corrosion due to a defect in factory-supplied
materials or workmanship.
The coverage period for corrosion depends on the type of damage that
occurs.

•If corrosion causes perforation (holes) in the cab sheet metal panels,
coverage lasts for 3 years, regardless of the miles driven.
• If corrosion does not cause holes and is not the result of usage and/or
environmental conditions coverage lasts for 2 years, regardless of the
miles driven.
For damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout) where
there is no factory-related defect involved and therefore no warranty our
policy is to cover paint damage due to airborne material for 12 months or
12,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Frame Coverage
The frame of your F-600/F53/F59 truck is covered against defects in
