3.The New Vehicle Limited Warranty for your 2021 Ford GT
LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
All of the warranties in this booklet are subject to the following
limitations and disclaimers:
The warranties in this booklet are the only express warranties
applicable to your vehicle. Ford does not assume or authorize
anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in
connection with your vehicle or these warranties. No person,
including Ford employees or dealers, may modify or waive any
part of these warranties.
Ford and its dealers reserve the right to make changes in or
additions to vehicles built or sold by them at any time without
incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes or
additions to vehicles previously built or sold.
Ford and its dealers also reserve the right to provide
post-warranty repairs, conduct recalls, or extend the warranty
coverage period for certain vehicles or vehicle populations, at
the sole discretion of Ford. The fact that Ford has provided such
measures to a particular vehicle or vehicle population in no way
obligates Ford to provide similar accommodations to other
owners of similar vehicles.
As a condition of these warranties, you are responsible for
properly using, maintaining, and caring for your vehicle as
outlined in your Owner’s Manual. Ford recommends that you
maintain copies of all maintenance records and receipts for
review by Ford.
Ford and your dealer are not responsible for any time or income
that you lose, any inconvenience you might be caused, the loss
of your transportation or use of your vehicle, the cost of rental
vehicles, fuel, telephone, travel, meals, or lodging, the loss of
personal or commercial property, the loss of revenue, or for any
other incidental or consequential damages you may have.
Punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages may not be recovered
unless applicable law prohibits their disclaimer.
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.

Conditions that are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty are described on pages 13-17. 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.
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

failure to provide proper installation environment. The New Vehicle
Limited Warranty does not cover repairs of certain damage or loss,
such as:

Tire Wear or Damage
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover normal wear or
worn out tires. Tires will not be replaced (unless required by a
warranty repair) for wear or damage including:
• tire damage from road hazard such as cuts, snags, bruises,bulges, puncture, and impact breaks
• tire damage due to under or over inflation, tire chain use, racing, track use or other events, spinning (as when stuck in snow or
mud), improper mounting or dismounting, or tire repair
Other Items or Conditions Not Covered
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover:
• vehicles that have had the odometer disconnected, altered, or inoperative for an extended period of time with the result that
the actual mileage cannot be determined
• vehicles that have ever been labeled or branded as dismantled, fire, flood, junk, rebuilt, reconstructed, or salvaged; this will void
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
• vehicles that have been determined to be a total loss by an insurance company; this will void the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty
• Aftermarket parts or components, sometimes installed by Ford Motor Company or an authorized Ford dealership, may not be
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Any damage
caused to Ford components due to the failure of aftermarket
parts (other than a certified emissions part) is not covered.
