ESP FORD FUSION/HYBRID 2020 Warranty Guide

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.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. Ford Motor
Company recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance
on your vehicle, but Ford cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the
lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a Ford Motor Company
dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Ford Motor
Company may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved
modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, or if you want to report what you believe to be violations
of the terms of this warranty, you may contact the Ford Customer
Relationship Center at 1-800-392-3673 (FORD) or the California Air
Resources Board at:California Air Resources Board

7. Additional information about your emissions warrantycoverage, under Federal and California requirements
HOW DO I GET WARRANTY SERVICE?
To get service under your emissions warranties, take your vehicle to any
Ford Motor Company dealer as soon as possible after illumination of the
Malfunction Indicator Light or it has failed an EPA-approved test or a
California Smog Check inspection. Be sure to show the dealer the
document that says your vehicle has failed the test.
Your dealer will determine whether the repair is covered by the warranty.
If the dealer has a question about Emissions Performance Warranty
coverage, it will forward the question to Ford Motor Company, which
must make a final decision within 30 days after you bring your vehicle in
for repair. (The decision will be made within a shorter time if state, local,
or federal law requires you to have the vehicle repaired more quickly in
order to avoid additional penalties.) The deadline for a determination
about Emissions Performance Warranty Coverage does not need to be
met if you request a delay, agree to a delay in writing, or if the delay is
caused by an event for which neither Ford nor your dealer is
responsible.
If a question about Emissions Performance Warranty coverage is referred
to Ford Motor Company, you will be notified by Ford Motor Company in
writing if your claim for warranty coverage is denied. The notice will
explain the basis for denying your claim. If you fail to receive this notice
within a timely manner, as determined above, Ford will perform the
warranty repair for you free of charge.
HOW DO I HANDLE EMERGENCY REPAIRS?
If your vehicle needs an emergency warrantable repair and a Ford dealer
is not available, or if a Ford dealer cannot perform warrantable repair(s)
within 30 days of you bringing your vehicle to the dealer, repairs may be
performed at any service establishment or by you using Ford equivalent
replacement parts.
30

Ford will reimburse you for the cost of these warranty repairs including
diagnosis, if you take the part(s) that are replaced and the repair
receipt(s) to a Ford Motor Company dealer. The reimbursement shall not
exceed Ford’s suggested retail price for the warranted parts that are
replaced and labor charges based on Ford’s recommended time
allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate
hourly rate.
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.
For vehicles within the warranty period, Ford will repair at no cost to
the owner, under the Federal Emissions Warranty, covered emission
failures caused by properly installed Ford parts or non-Ford parts that
have been “certified” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). Ford is not responsible for the cost of repairing any emission
failures caused by non-Ford parts that have not been “certified” by the
EPA.
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 EPA
certified parts without voiding your federal warranty coverage
for future repairs during the warranty period.31
