WHAT IS COVERED?
Your NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY gives you specific legal
rights. You may have other rights that vary from state to state. Under
your New Vehicle Limited Warranty if:
- your Ford vehicle is properly operated and maintained, and
- was taken to a Ford dealership for a warranted repair during the
warranty 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 coverage period due to a
manufacturing defect in factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship.
Note: Warranted repairs with respect to the high voltage battery
assembly must be performed by an EV Certified Ford dealership.
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. Ford provides the New Vehicle Limited Warranty only
to remedy manufacturing 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 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 or prohibiting
that defective parts be replaced with parts of a different type or design
than the original part, so long as the vehicle functions properly with the9

Extended warranty coverage periods are available for certain
vehicle parts and conditions. Specifically,
(1) Your vehicle’s Powertrain components are covered for five years or
60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The extended Powertrain coverage
applies to all components of the driveline that are not specifically
covered by the Electric Vehicle Component warranty. Powertrain
components that receive warranty coverage for five years or 60,000 miles
may include gears, differential, shafts, fluid pumps, seals and gaskets,
bearings, mounts, drive shaft, retainers, supports, universal and constant
velocity joints.
(2) The high voltage battery and eDrive systems of your vehicle are
covered by the Electric Vehicle Component coverage for eight years or
100,000 miles, whichever comes first. High voltage battery and eDrive
components covered by this warranty include the high voltage battery
assembly, Bussed Electrical Center (BEC), Battery Energy Control
Module (BECM), on-board charger, Inverter System Controller (ISC),
DC/DC converter, and eDrive. If a covered component requires
replacement under the Electric Vehicle Component warranty, it may be
replaced with a new, factory remanufactured, or factory refurbished
component, at Ford’s discretion. Refurbished battery components
selected for your vehicle will align with your vehicle’s age and mileage
and meet Ford’s requirements and standards.
(3) Your vehicle’s safety belts and air bag Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) are covered for an extended Safety Restraint Coverage Period,
which lasts for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
(4) 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.11

High Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity Coverage
As is the case with all batteries, the high voltage lithium-ion battery
capacity will decrease over time and with use. While gradual capacity
loss with time and use is considered normal wear and tear, Ford Motor
Company warrants the high voltage battery against excessive capacity
loss for a period of 8 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first. If an
authorized EV Certified Ford Dealer determines that the battery capacity
is less than 70 percent of the high voltage battery’s beginning of life
capacity, or less than 65 percent for vehicles in cutaway or chassis cab
configuration, this level of capacity loss is considered excessive. The
measurement method used to determine the high voltage battery
capacity, and the decision of whether to repair, replace, or provide
reconditioned or remanufactured parts, and the condition of any such
replaced, reconditioned or remanufactured parts, are at the sole
discretion of Ford Motor Company. During the High Voltage Battery
Capacity Coverage period, Ford Motor Company will cover the necessary
component repair or replacement to correct this excessive capacity loss,
when performed by an EV Certified Ford dealership. This coverage is in
addition to the high voltage battery assembly’s limited warranty for
defects in materials or workmanship. If a warranty repair requires
replacement of the high voltage battery assembly, or one of its
components, it may be replaced with a new, factory remanufactured, or
factory refurbished component, at Ford’s discretion. Refurbished battery
components selected for your vehicle will align with your vehicle’s age,
and mileage.
NOTE: The battery capacity degradation rate will vary based on various
factors, including environmental conditions, and will also be affected by
the way in which the vehicle is used. Following the recommendations in
thePreserving Your High Voltage Battery section of the Owner’s
Manual may help lower the rate of capacity degradation and optimize
battery life.
Over the Air (OTA) Updates
During the warranty coverage period, Ford Motor Company warrants that:
• you will not be charged for diagnosis, repair, replacement, or
adjustment of components that are damaged or inoperable due to a
defect caused by an OTA update

PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY
The high voltage battery assembly in the vehicle is designed to operate
within a sealed system. Removing the high voltage battery assembly from
the vehicle, or opening the high voltage battery assembly, creates a risk
of damage to the high voltage battery assembly, as well as a risk of
personal injury, including electrocution. EV Certified Ford dealerships
are specially trained and equipped to repair the high voltage battery
assembly and high voltage systems on the vehicle, and are the only
repair facilities authorized to repair the high voltage battery assembly.
In order to maintain optimal battery life and functionality of your vehicle,
it is imperative that all high voltage battery software updates are
installed. You are responsible for ensuring all software updates are
installed within 30 days of software availability. You can most easily
accomplish this by keeping Automatic Updates set to ON. If you are
unable or choose not to use your vehicle’s connectivity features to
update software, your Ford Dealer can determine if software updates are
available for your vehicle and perform these updates. Battery system
updates will be installed at no cost to you during the warranty period.
Damage resulting from failure to install battery system updates will not
be covered under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
