What is Covered?

The 2007 NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY 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.

Two separate warranties apply to tires on new vehicles. 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 as outline in re-imbursement schedule available in the warranty pdf.

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 which case a tire of the same brand, size, load, speed and tread type will be used. In some circumstances, Ford may authorize another brand and/or model to substitute for the original brand and model, even if still available.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED?

Damage Caused By:

  • accidents, collision or objects striking the vehicle (including driving through a car wash)
  • theft, vandalism, or riot
  • fire or explosion
  • using contaminated or improper fuel/fluids
  • customer-applied chemicals or accidental spills
  • driving through water deep enough to cause water to be ingested into the engine
  • misuse of the vehicle, such a driving over curbs, overloading, racing or using the vehicle as a stationary power source

 

Damage Caused by Alteration or Modification
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover any damage caused by:

  • alterations or modifications of the vehicle, including the body, chassis, or components, after the vehicle leaves the control of Ford Motor Company
  • tampering with the vehicle, tampering with the emissions systems or with the other parts that affect these systems
  • the installation or use of a non-Ford Motor Company part (other than a certified emissions part) or any part (Ford or non-Ford) designed for off-road use only installed after the vehicle leaves the control of Ford Motor Company, if the installed part fails or causes a Ford part to fail.

 

Damage Caused by Use and/or the Environment
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover surface rust, deterioration and damage of paint, trim, upholstery, and other appearance items that result from use and/or exposure to the elements. The vehicle owner is responsible for these items.

Maintenance/Wear
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover: (1) parts and labor needed to maintain the vehicle; and (2) the replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear. You, as the owner, are responsible for these items.

Where a vehicle has no factory-related defect, and is therefore not entitled to a warranty related repair, replacement or adjustment, it is Ford policy nonetheless to provide certain maintenance items, when necessary, free of charge during a limited period:

  • wiper blade replacements will be provided during the first 12 months in service, regardless of miles driven
  • wheel alignments and tire balancing (unless required by a warranty repair) will be provided during the first 12 months or 12,000 miles in service, whichever occurs first
  • Brake pad/lining replacements will be provided during the first 12 months or 18,000 miles in service, whichever occurs first

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.
