FORD F-53 2021 Warranty Guide

10. How to apply for a delayed warranty start dateor in-transit mileage accumulation extension
You may be eligible to request a delayed warranty start date and/or
in-transit mileage accumulation extension if:
•you purchased your truck from someone who is not a Ford dealer,
such as a body company (i.e., bus body manufacturer, crane and
special equipment company, etc.); or
• the truck was not put into service immediately after you purchased it
because it was delivered to a firm to have a special body or special
equipment installed; or
• your new truck was driven (not transported) from the assembly plant
to the dealer or to a body company and then to the dealer or other
locations.
If one of these conditions applies to you, work with your Ford dealer to
establish the correct warranty start date or in-transit mileage
accumulation extension for your new truck. Be sure to keep a copy of
the documents should you need a warranty repair in the future. You will
need your sales invoice and/or state registration that shows the date that
your specially equipped truck was delivered to you.
Important: Failure to request a delayed warranty start date or
in-transmit mileage accumulation extension may reduce the
period of effective warranty coverage.
