5 years/50,000 miles

Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Safety Restraint Coverage begins at the warranty start date and lasts for five years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. During this coverage period, Ford Motor Company or Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company warrants your vehicle's safety belts and air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) against defects in factory-supplied materials or workmanship.

5 years/100,000 miles

Models available include: Excursion; F-Series and E-Series (models over 8,500 lbs. GVWR)

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers certain direct injection diesel engine components against defects in factory-supplied materials or workmanship for five years after the warranty start date or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first. After the end of the Bumper to Bumper Coverage period (three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first), you must pay a $100 deductible for each repair visit.

Ford Motor Company or Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company covers these components: cylinder block, heads and all internal parts, intake and exhaust manifolds, flywheel, timing gear, harmonic balancer, valve covers, oil pan and pump, water pump, fuel system (excluding fuel lines and fuel tank), high pressure lines, gaskets and seals, glow plugs, turbocharger, powertrain control module, electronic driver unit, injectors, injection pressure sensor, high pressure oil regulator, exhaust back pressure regulator and sensor, camshaft position sensor, accelerator switch. NOTE: Some components may also be covered by the Emissions Warranties, with no deductible.

5 years/Unlimited miles

Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Corrosion Coverage begins at the warranty start date and covers body sheet metal panels against corrosion due to a defect in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. Corrosion coverage (which lasts for 5 years, regardless of miles driven) only applies if the corrosion causes perforation (holes) in body sheet metal panels.

If corrosion does not cause perforation (holes), and is not the result of usage and/or environmental conditions, paint damage is covered under the terms of the Bumper to Bumper Warranty (3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first).

For damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout) - where there is no factory-related defect involved and therefore no warranty - our policy is to cover paint damage due to airborne material for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

Your vehicle is covered by the complimentary Ford Roadside Assistance Program (unless you are driving a daily rental unit). Under this program Ford will cover:

• towing to the nearest Ford Motor Company dealership, or towing to your selling dealership if within 35 miles
• flat tire change
• fuel delivery
• jump starts
• lock-out assistance

The Roadside Assistance Program is separate from the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, but the Program's time period runs concurrently with Bumper to Bumper Warranty Coverage (three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first).

3 years/36,000 miles

Under the Emissions Defect Warranty, Ford Motor Company provides coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first). This is an extension of the federal requirement that calls for coverage of 2 years/24,000 miles (whichever occurs first) for passenger car and light duty trucks. Certified heavy duty engines (vehicles with a GVWR over 8,500 pounds) are provided coverage for 5 years or 50,000 miles (whichever occurs first).

Under the Emissions Defect Warranty for passenger cars and light duty trucks (vehicles with a GVWR of 8,500 pounds or less), Ford Motor Company also provides coverage, including labor and diagnosis, for 8 years or 80,000 miles (whichever occurs first) for these emissions parts: catalytic converter; compuvalve; electronic emissions control unit (PCM); onboard emissions diagnostic device; and vehicle communication link (VCL) module.

2 years/24,000 miles

If your vehicle is registered in a state where the state or local government has an EPA-approved inspection and maintenance program, you may also be eligible for Emissions Performance Warranty Coverage for 2 years or 24,000 miles (whichever occurs first), if you meet the conditions specified in the Warranty.

Under the Emissions Performance Warranty for passenger cars and light duty trucks, Ford Motor Company also provides coverage, including labor and diagnosis, for 8 years or 80,000 miles (whichever occurs first) for the following emissions parts, if you meet the conditions specified in the Warranty: catalytic converter; compuvalve; electronic emissions control unit (PCM); onboard emissions diagnostic device; and vehicle communication link (VCL) module.

For 3 years or 50,000 miles (whichever first occurs):

1. If your vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, all necessary repairs and adjustments will be made by Ford to ensure that your car or light truck passes the inspection. This is your emission control system Performance Warranty.
2. If any emissions-related part on your vehicle is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Ford. This is your short-term emission control system Defects Warranty.
