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
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
