Maintenance/Wear
The New Truck 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. Here are examples:
• replacement of filters, windshield wiper blades, brake linings, clutch linings,
and engine belts and hoses
• adjustments such as wheel balancing, wheel alignment, and headlight alignment
• adjustments to the mechanical valves, belts, transmission, clutch systems, and
brake systems
• cleaning of fuel, cooling, and brake systems
• addition of fluids such as engine oil and washer fluid
• tightening of nuts, bolts, and fittings
Some maintenance and wear items have limited coverage, as follows:
• wiper blade replacements are not covered beyond 12 months in service,
regardless of miles driven
• wheel alignment and tire balancing (unless required by a warranty repair) are
not covered beyond 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first
• brake pad/lining replacements are not covered beyond 12 months or 18,000
miles, whichever occurs first
• tire vibration or ride harshness and uneven or rapid tire wear. However, limited
coverage for these conditions will be provided for the first 12 months in
service or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first, even though caused by
maintenance and wear items such as wheel alignment or tire balancing
Other Items and Conditions Not Covered:
• non-Ford parts of your vehicle, for example, parts installed by body builders
or manufacturers other than Ford Motor Company, or damage to Ford
components caused by installation of non-Ford parts other than “certified”
emissions parts
• vehicles that have ever been labeled or branded as “dismantled,” “fire,”
“flood,” “rebuilt,” “reconstructed,” or “salvaged;” this will void the New Truck
Limited Warranty
• vehicles that have been determined to be a “total loss” by an insurance
company; this will void the New Truck Limited Warranty
• disconnecting or altering the odometer or allowing the odometer to be
inoperative for an extended period of time with the result that the actual mileage
cannot be determined; this will void the New Truck Limited Warranty
