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 vehicle. 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.

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, seeBetter
Business Bureau (BBB) AUTO LINE program, page 35 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.

Page 8 of 41

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
parts affected by the lack of maintenance. Make sure that receipts for
completed maintenance work are retained with the vehicle and
confirmation of maintenance work is always entered in yourOwner’s
Manual.
Your Ford or Lincoln dealership, or Ford or Lincoln Quality Care Service
Center, has factory-trained technicians who can perform the required
maintenance using genuine Ford parts. The dealership looks forward to
meeting your every service need to maximize your satisfaction with your
vehicle.
WHO PAYS FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS?
You will not be charged for repairs covered by any applicable warranty
during the stated coverage periods, unless specifically stated elsewhere
in this guide.
Some states have mandated alternate time coverage periods for parts of
your vehicle (e.g. seatbelts).
Some states and/or local governments may require a tax on a portion of
warranty repairs. Where applicable law allows, the tax must be paid by
you, the owner of the vehicle.
During the Bumper to Bumper Warranty period, dealers may receive
instructions to provide no-cost, service-type improvements - not
originally included in your Owner’s Manual - intended to increase your
overall satisfaction with your vehicle.
Sometimes Ford may offer a special adjustment program to pay all or
part of the cost of certain repairs beyond the terms of the applicable
warranty. Check with your dealer or call 1-800-392-3673 to learn whether
any adjustment program is applicable to your vehicle. Please have your
vehicle identification number available.

Page 11 of 41

You may not bring any warranty-related claim as a class
representative, a private attorney general, a member of a class of
claimants or in any other representative capacity.
Ford shall not be liable for any damages caused by delay in delivery or
furnishing of any products and/or services.
You may have some implied warranties. For example, you may have an
implied warranty of merchantability (that the car or light truck is
reasonably fit for the general purpose for which it was sold) or an
implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose (that the car or
light truck is suitable for your special purposes), if a special purpose
was specifically disclosed to Ford itself not merely to the dealer
before your purchase, and Ford itself not just the dealer told you the
vehicle would be suitable for that purpose.
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to
the time period covered by the written warranties, or to the applicable
time period provided by state law, whichever period is shorter.
These implied warranties do not apply at all if you use your vehicle
for business or commercial purposes. In addition, the implied warranty
of fitness for a particular purpose does not apply if your vehicle is
used for racing, even if the vehicle is equipped for racing.
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
17-33.
Ford participates in the BBB AUTO LINE warranty dispute resolution
program. You may contact BBB AUTO LINE by calling 800-955-5100.

Page 12 of 41

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 35 of this booklet.
QUICK REFERENCE: WARRANTY COVERAGE
This chart gives a general summary of your warranty coverage provided by
Ford Motor Company under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Please
refer to the description of warranty coverage for more specific information.
For each type of coverage, the chart shows two measures:
• years in service •miles driven
The measure that occurs first determines how long your coverage lasts.
For example: Your Bumper to Bumper Coverage lasts for three years -
unless you drive more than 36,000 miles before three years elapse. In
that case, your coverage ends at 36,000 miles.

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 than Ford dealer facilities. Tire replacements under warranty
will be made with the same brand and model as originally equipped with
the vehicle unless the same brand and model is no longer available, in

(3) Your vehicle’s body sheet metal panels are covered for an extended
Corrosion Coverage Period, which lasts for five years, regardless of miles
driven. The extended warranty coverage only applies if a body sheet
metal panel becomes perforated due to corrosion during normal use due
to a manufacturing defect in factory-supplied materials or factory
workmanship. If aluminum body panels have corrosion or rust damage,
and the damage is not the result of abnormal usage, vehicle accident,
customer actions and/or extreme environmental conditions, the corrosion
or rust damage repairs are covered for 5 years, unlimited miles. For
damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout) where there
is no factory-related defect involved and therefore no warranty our
policy is to provide free repair of paint damage due to the airborne
material for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
(4)
Your vehicle’s unique hybrid / electric components are covered during
the Hybrid / Electric Unique Component Coverage, which lasts for eight
years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
•The following hybrid parts are covered during this extended coverage
period: high-voltage battery, hybrid continuously variable transmission,
Inverter System Controller (ISC), DC/DC converter, high-voltage
battery connector, battery pack fan assembly, service disconnect,
charger fan, Battery Energy Control Module (BECM), and the PHEV
onboard charger.
• The following plug-in-vehicle unique parts (if equipped) are covered
during this extended coverage period: high-voltage battery packs,
high-voltage charger, DC/DC convertor, electronic drive module
assembly (includes electric motor and gearbox), transmission range
sensor.
Note: Lithium-Ion Battery Gradual Capacity Loss
The Lithium-ion battery (EV battery) will experience gradual
capacity loss with time and use (similar to all lithium-ion batteries),
which is considered normal wear and tear. Loss of battery capacity
due to or resulting from gradual capacity loss is NOT covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. See your Owner’s Manual for
important tips on how to maximize the life and capacity of the
Lithium-ion battery.
