begins with quality protection and service.

• Emissions Defect Warranties which covers your emission control

system (pages 15-20)

• Noise Emissions Warranty (page 21)

2. Important information you should know

IF YOU NEED CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE

Your Ford Motor Company dealer is available to assist you with all your
automotive needs. Please follow the procedures outlined in Customer
Assistance on the front page of this booklet.

If you require assistance directly from Ford Motor Company, contact the

Fleet Customer Information Center at 1-800-343-5338, or refer to
www.ford.com.

KNOW WHEN YOUR WARRANTY BEGINS

Your Warranty Start Date is the day you take delivery of your new ve­hicle or the day it is first put into service, whichever occurs first. Under
certain conditions, you may be eligible to request a delayed warranty
start date or intransit mileage accumulation extension. See page 23 to
see if you are eligible and for instructions on how to apply for this
change.

CHECK YOUR VEHICLE

We try to check vehicles carefully at the assembly plant and the dealer­ship, and we usually correct any damage to paint, sheet metal, uphol­stery, or other appearance items. But occasionally something may slip
past us, and a customer may find that a vehicle was damaged before he
or she took delivery. If you see any damage when you receive your ve­hicle, notify your dealership within one week of the delivery date.

MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY

Your vehicle contains an Owner Guide which indicates the scheduled
maintenance required for your vehicle. Proper maintenance guards
against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate main­tenance, and may help increase the value you receive when you sell or
trade your vehicle.

It is your responsibility to make sure all of the scheduled maintenance is
performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering specifica­tions. Failure to perform maintenance as specified in the Owner Guide

2

will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of mainte­nance. Make sure that receipts for completed maintenance work are re­tained with the vehicle.

Your Ford Motor Company dealer has factory-trained technicians who
can perform the required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. The
dealership looks forward to meeting your every service need to maximize
your satisfaction with your vehicle.

DO WARRANTIES APPLY IN OTHER COUNTRIES?

The New Truck Limited Warranty and the Emissions Warranties
described in this booklet apply to your vehicle if:

• it was originally purchased through Ford Worldwide Direct Marketing
Operations dealers or the Military Sales Program; or

• it was originally sold or leased by Ford Motor Company or one of its
dealers in the United States or U.S. Federalized Territories, and it was
originally registered/licensed and operated in the United States, U.S.
Federalized Territories, or Canada.

If you meet either of these two requirements, you do have warranty cov­erage when you travel with this vehicle outside the United States, U.S.
Federalized Territories, or Canada. In some cases, however, you may
have to pay the servicing Ford dealer in a foreign country for a repair
that is covered under U.S. warranty. If this happens, be sure to save the
paid repair order or invoice. You should present this document to a U.S.
Ford Motor Company dealer for warranty refund consideration. Refer to
www.Ford.com for additional customer assistance reference information.

WHERE TO GO FOR SERVICE

When you need warranty repairs, your selling dealer would like you to
return to it for that service, but you may also take your vehicle to an­other Ford Motor Company dealership authorized for warranty repairs.
Certain warranty repairs require special training though, so not all deal­ers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs. That means that, de­pending on the warranty repair needed, the vehicle may need to be
taken to another dealer. If a particular dealership cannot assist you, then
contact the Fleet Customer Information Center at 1-800-343-5338,
or www.ford.com.

3

IF YOU NEED EMERGENCY SERVICE

If you need parts and service information away from your local servicing
dealer’s area, call the Fleet Customer Information Center at
1-800-343-5338. If you have an emergency and Ford, Motorcraft, or re­manufactured parts authorized by Ford Motor Company are not readily
available from a Ford dealer, you may choose to use other parts to get
the repairs done quickly. If you decide to use parts other than Ford or
Motorcraft parts, or remanufactured parts authorized by Ford, you
should be aware that they may not be equivalent to Ford parts in perfor­mance, quality, and durability. If you use replacement parts other than
those recommended by Ford Motor Company, Ford Motor Company does
not warrant these parts and will not be responsible for any damage they
may cause to your truck.

WHO PAYS FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS?

You will not be charged for repairs covered by any applicable warranty
during the stated coverage periods, unless specifically stated elsewhere
in this guide.

Some states may require a tax on all or a portion of warranty repairs.
Where state law allows, the tax must be paid by you, the owner of the
vehicle.

Sometimes Ford may offer a special adjustment program to pay all or
part of the cost of certain repairs beyond the terms of the applicable
warranty. Check with your dealer or call the Fleet Customer Informa-
tion Center at 1-800-343-5338 or www.ford.com to learn whether
any adjustment program is applicable to your vehicle. Please have your
vehicle identification number available.

OTHER MANUFACTURERS’ WARRANTIES

The warranty coverage on tires is usually based on tread wear. Because
the tires on your vehicle are warranted by the tire manufacturer and not
by Ford Motor Company or your selling dealer, you should check the tire
warranty or consult an authorized dealer or distributor of the tire manu­facturer.

3. The New Truck Limited Warranty

LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS

All of the warranties in this booklet are subject to the following limita­tions and disclaimers:

The warranties in this booklet are the only warranties applicable to
your vehicle. There are no other warranties, express or implied, in­cluding, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose. Ford Motor Company does not as­sume or authorize anyone to assume for it any other obligation or li­ability in connection with your truck or this warranty.

Ford and its dealers reserve the right to make changes in or additions
to vehicles built or sold by them at any time without incurring any
obligation to make the same or similar changes or additions to ve­hicles previously built or sold.

Ford and its dealers also reserve the right to provide post-warranty
repairs, conduct recalls, or extend the warranty coverage period for
certain vehicles or vehicle populations, at the sole discretion of Ford.
The fact that Ford has provided such measures to a particular vehicle
or vehicle population in no way obligates Ford to provide similar ac­commodations to other owners of similar vehicles.

As a condition of these warranties, you are responsible for properly
using, maintaining, and caring for your vehicle as outlined in your
Owner Guide and Scheduled Maintenance Guide. Ford recommends
that you maintain copies of all maintenance records and receipts for
review by Ford.

5

Ford Motor Company and your dealer are not responsible for any time
or income that you lose, for any inconvenience you might be caused,
for the loss of your transportation, or use of your vehicle, the cost of
rental vehicles, fuel, telephone, travel, meals, or lodging, the loss of
personal or commercial property, the loss of revenue or for any other
incidental or consequential damages you may have.

Punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages may not be recovered unless
applicable law prohibits their disclaimer.

You may not bring any warranty-related claim as a class representa­tive, a private attorney general, a member of a class of claimants or in
any other representative capacity.

Ford shall not be liable for any damages caused by delay in delivery or
furnishing of any products and/or services.

The warranties contained in this booklet and all questions regarding
their enforceability and interpretation are governed by the law of the
state in which you purchased your Ford vehicle.

6

This chart gives a general summary of your coverage under the New
Truck Limited Warranty. Please refer to the description of warranty cov­erage for more specific information.

For each type of coverage, the chart shows two measures:

• months/years in service

• miles driven

The measure that occurs first determines how long your coverage lasts.

7

WHAT IS COVERED?

Your NEW TRUCK LIMITED WARRANTY gives you specific legal rights.
You may have other rights that vary from state to state. Under your New
Truck Limited Warranty if:

- your Ford vehicle is properly operated and maintained, and

- was taken to a Ford dealership for a warranted repair during the war-

ranty 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.

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. For this reason, Ford provides the New Truck Limited War­ranty in order to remedy any such 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 Truck Limited Warranty are
described on pages 11-13. 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.

8

Nothing in this warranty should be construed as requiring defective parts
to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original
part, so long as the vehicle functions properly with the replacement part.
Moreover, Ford and its authorized dealers are entitled to a reasonable
time and a reasonable number of attempts within which to diagnose and
repair any defect covered by this warranty. In certain instances, Ford
may authorize repairs at other than Ford dealer facilities.

Basic Coverage

Basic coverage for the Ford LCF truck begins at the warranty start date
and extends for 2 years, regardless of miles driven.

Extended Warranty Coverage Periods Applicable To Certain Parts

Extended Warranty Coverage Periods are available for certain vehicle
parts and conditions. Except as noted below, all of the terms of the New
Truck Limited Warranty apply during these extended coverage periods.

Corrosion Coverage

Corrosion coverage begins at the warranty start date and covers cab
sheet metal panels against corrosion due to a defect in factory-supplied
materials or workmanship.

The coverage period for corrosion depends on the type of damage that
occurs.

There are two types of damage:

• If corrosion causes perforation (holes) in the cab sheet metal panels,
coverage lasts for 4 years, regardless of the miles driven.

• If corrosion does not cause holes and is not the result of usage and/or
environmental conditions coverage lasts for 2 years, regardless of the
miles driven.

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.

9

Engine Coverage

The PowerStroke 4.5L V6 diesel engine and engine components are cov­ered against defects in factory supplied materials or workmanship. En­gine Coverage begins at the warranty start date and extends for 3 years
regardless of miles driven. Ford Motor Company covers the engine and
these components: cylinder blocks, heads and all internal parts, intake
and exhaust manifolds, 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 and accelerator switch.

TorqShift Automatic Transmission Coverage

The Ford TorqShift automatic transmission and transmission components
are covered against defects in factory supplied material or workmanship
for 3 years regardless of miles driven. Ford Motor Company or Ford Mo­tor Assurance Company covers the transmission (including all internal
parts), seals and gaskets, the torque converter and transmission case.

Frame Coverage

The frame of your Ford LCF truck is covered against defects in factory
supplied materials or workmanship. Frame coverage begins at the war­ranty start date and extends for 5 years, regardless of miles driven.

10

WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE NEW TRUCK LIMITED
WARRANTY?

Damage Caused by:

• accidents, collision, or objects striking the vehicle

• theft, vandalism, or riot

• fire or explosion

• freezing

• misusing the vehicle such as driving over curbs, overloading, racing, or

using the vehicle as a permanent stationary power source

• 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

Note: Warranty coverage will be invalidated or voided on parts affected
by such damage.

Damage Caused by Alteration or Modification:

The New Truck Limited Warranty does not cover 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 (for example, but not
limited to exhaust and intake 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 ‘‘offroad 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. Examples include, but are not limited to lift kits, oversized
tires, roll bars, cellular phones, alarm systems, automatic starting sys­tems and performance enhancing powertrain components, and perfor­mance ‘‘chips’’.

11

Damage Caused by Use and/or the Environment

The New Truck 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. You as the owner
are responsible for these items. Some examples include:

• dings, dents

• cuts, burns, punctures or tears

• road salt

• tree sap, bird and bee droppings

• windstorm, lightning, hail

• earthquake

• freezing, water or flood

• stone chips, scratches (some examples are on paint and glass),

• windshield stress cracks. However limited coverage on windshield

stress cracks will be provided for the first 12 months in service, re­gardless of miles driven, even though caused by use and/or exposure
to the elements.

Damage Caused by Improper Maintenance

The New Truck Limited Warranty does not cover damage caused by fail­ure to maintain the vehicle, improperly maintaining the vehicle, or using
the wrong part, fuel, oil, lubricants, or fluids. See the Owner Guide for
proper ways to maintain the vehicle. Failure to perform maintenance as
specified in the Owner Guide will invalidate or void warranty coverage on
parts affected by the lack of maintenance.

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

12

• wheel alignment and tire balancing (unless required by a warranty re­pair)

• 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

• 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

13

4. Roadside Service Assistance
(United States, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands)

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

• Lockout Assist (doesn’t include home site/dealer site service)

• Jump Start

• 24 hour availability

What Is Not Covered

• Tire Service

• Unloading Cargo

• Home site/dealer site service Lockout Assist

• Recovery (e.g., stuck in mud at a job site)

• Fuel Service (limited to two occurrences in a 12-month period)

The Roadside Assistance Program is separate from the New Truck Lim­ited Warranty, but the Program’s time period runs concurrently with the
Basic Warranty period. Therefore, Ford LCF Trucks are eligible for Road­side Assistance during the Basic Warranty period (2 years/unlimited
miles).

For emergency roadside assistance, call 1-800-241-3673 (FORD),
24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Ford will cover towing to the nearest Ford Motor Company dealership
for daily rental units that must be towed because a covered part has
failed during the Basic Warranty period.

14

5. Federal requirements for emissions warranties

FEDERAL EMISSIONS DEFECT WARRANTY

Under the Federal Emissions Defect Warranty, Ford warrants to you, the
owner of any 2008-model Ford LCF truck with a Ford diesel engine, that:

• Your truck was designed, built, and equipped to conform, at the time
it was sold, with the emissions regulations of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).

• Your truck is free from defects in factory-supplied materials and work­manship that would cause it to fail to conform with applicable EPA
regulations.

• You will not be charged for repair, replacement, or adjustment of de­fective emissions-related parts listed in this section.

WHAT IS COVERED?

Trucks with Ford diesel engines are provided Federal Emissions Defect
Warranty for 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The follow­ing is a general list of components that are covered by the Federal Emis­sions Defect Warranty. If you would like more detailed information con­cerning specific parts covered by this warranty, ask your dealer.

For trucks with Ford diesel engines, the warranty covers:

• Charge air cooler

• Electronic engine control sensors and switches

• Electronic Engine Control Unit (ECU)

• Emissions-related bulbs, hoses, clamps, belts, tubes, gaskets, seals,

brackets, connectors, and wiring harnesses used in the above systems

• Fuel injection system

• Fuel injector driver module

• Fuel pump

• Intake manifold

• Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) system

• Oil filler cap

15

• Supercharger assembly

Some of the covered parts may require scheduled maintenance. These
parts are warranted until the time they are first scheduled to be re­placed, according to the schedule in the Owner Guide.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED?

Ford may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has failed
because of abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, unapproved modifica­tions, or any items included in What Is Not Covered?, pages 11-13.

16

6. California requirements for emissions
warranty

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board and Ford are pleased to explain the
emission control system warranty on your 2008-model vehicle. In Califor­nia, new motor vehicles must be designed, built, and equipped to meet
the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Ford must warrant the emis­sion control system on your vehicle for the periods of time listed below,
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of
your vehicle.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor
or fuel injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, and en­gine computer. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other
emission-related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, Ford will repair your vehicle at no
cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE

For five years or 100,000 miles (Ford diesel powered engines and ve­hicles), whichever first occurs:

If an emissions-related part on your vehicle is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by Ford. This is your emission control system De-
fects Warranty.

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES

As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the re­quired maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. Ford recommends
that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle, but
Ford cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for
your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a Ford dealer as soon
as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a rea­sonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

17

As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Ford may deny you
warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has failed due to abuse, ne­glect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.

If you have questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities,
or if you want to report what you believe to be violations of the terms of
this warranty, you may contact the Fleet Customer Relationship Center
at 1-800-343-5338 or contact:

State of California Air Resources Board
Mobile Source Operations Division
P.O. Box 8001
El Monte, California 91731-2990

WHAT IS COVERED?

For trucks with Ford diesel engines, the warranty covers, but is not lim­ited to:

• Charge air cooler

• Electronic engine control sensors and switches

• Electronic Engine Control Unit (ECU)

• Fuel injection system

• Fuel injector driver module

• Fuel pump

• Intake manifold

• Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) system

• Oil filler cap

• Supercharger assembly

• Turbocharger assembly

• Emissions-related bulbs, hoses, clamps, belts, tubes, gaskets, seals,

brackets, connectors, and wiring harnesses used in the above systems

WHAT IS NOT COVERED?

Any items that are not covered under Ford’s New Truck Limited War­ranty are also not covered under the emissions warranties. (See What Is
Not Covered?, pages 11-13.)

18

7. Additional information about your emissions
warranty coverage, under Federal and
California requirements

HOW DO I GET SERVICE?

To get service under your emissions warranties, take your vehicle to an
authorized Ford Motor Company dealer as soon as possible.

HOW DO I HANDLE EMERGENCY REPAIRS?

If your truck needs an emergency repair on emissions-related parts, and
an authorized Ford Motor Company dealer is not available — so that you
must have covered repairs made by someone other than a Ford Motor
Company dealer — your Ford dealer will reimburse you for the cost of
repairs including diagnosis. Be sure to obtain: (a) the parts that are re­placed; and (b) a receipt for the work. Take the parts and receipt to
your dealer, who will determine if the repair is covered under warranty.

You should follow the same procedure if a warranted part is not available
at your Ford dealer within 30 days from the time you first bring your
vehicle to your dealer for repairs, and you must go elsewhere for repairs.
Any repair not completed within 30 days also constitutes an emergency,
and any equivalent replacement part may be used in an emergency situa­tion. Ford will reimburse you for the repair expenses, not to exceed (a)
the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for all warranted parts that are
replaced; and (b) the labor charges (based on the manufacturer’s recom­mended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically
appropriate hourly labor rate).

WHAT REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD I USE?

Ford recommends that you use genuine Ford replacement parts. How­ever, when you are having non-warranty work done on your vehicle, you
may choose to use non-Ford parts.

If you decide to use non-Ford parts, be sure they are equivalent to Ford
parts in performance, quality, and durability. If you use replacement
parts that are not equivalent to Ford parts, your truck’s emissions con­trol systems may not work as effectively and you may jeopardize your
emissions warranty coverage.

19

For trucks within the warranty period, Ford will repair at no cost to the
owner, under the Federal Emissions Warranty, covered emission failures
caused by properly installed Ford parts or non-Ford parts that have been
‘‘certified’’ by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Ford is
not responsible for the cost of repairing any emission failures caused by
non-Ford parts that have not been ‘‘certified’’ by the EPA.

NOTE: FEDERAL WARRANTY ONLY The maintenance, replacement,
or repair of emissions control devices or systems, the cost of which is
not covered by the warranties, can be performed by any automotive
establishment or individual using non-Ford parts.

PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY

If you do not maintain your vehicle properly, Ford may have the right to
deny you warranty coverage.

To have repairs made under this warranty, you may have to show that
you have followed Ford’s instructions on properly maintaining and using
your vehicle. You will find these instructions in your Owner Guide and
Service Guide. Be sure to save your service receipts and to keep accu­rate records of all maintenance work.

If you are not satisfied with the handling of a warranty matter, see Cus­tomer Assistance address on the inside front cover of this guide or call
the Fleet Customer Relationship Center at 1-800-343-5338.

If you need more information about getting service under the Federal
Emissions Defect Warranty, or if you want to report what you believe to
be violations of the terms of this warranty, you may contact:

8. Noise emissions warranty

YOUR NOISE EMISSIONS WARRANTY

Ford Motor Company warrants to the first person who purchases this
vehicle for purposes other than resale and to each subsequent purchaser
that this vehicle, as manufactured by Ford Motor Company, was de­signed, built and equipped to conform at the time it left Ford Motor
Company’s control with all applicable U.S. EPA Noise Control Regula­tions.

This warranty covers this vehicle as designed, built, and equipped by
Ford Motor Company, and is not limited to any particular part, compo­nent or system of the vehicle manufactured by Ford Motor Company.
Defects in design, assembly or in any part, component or system of the
vehicle as manufactured by Ford Motor Company, which, at the time it
left Ford Motor Company’s control, caused noise emissions to exceed
Federal standards, are covered by this warranty for the life of the ve­hicle.

The Noise Emissions Warranty obligations do not apply to:

• Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of the vehicle, commercial loss
or other consequential damages;

• Any vehicle which is not covered by the U.S. EPA Medium and Heavy
Trucks Noise Emission Standards (40 C.F.R. Part 205, Subpart B).
Among the noncovered vehicles are those lacking a partially or fully
enclosed operator’s compartment, such as basic or stripped chassis,
those having a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 lbs. or less and
those sold outside the United States and U.S. Territories.

To the extent permitted by law, THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY
INSTEAD of any express or implied warranty, condition, or guarantee,
agreement or representation, by any person with respect to confor­mity of this vehicle with U.S. EPA Noise Control Regulations, includ­ing ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS.

21

9. Ford Extended Service Plan

You can get more protection for your new truck by purchasing a Ford
Extended Service Plan (Ford ESP). Ford ESP is the only service con­tract backed by Ford. It provides protection against repair costs after
your New Truck Limited Warranty expires.

When you purchase Ford ESP, you receive peace-of-mind protection
throughout the United States and Canada, provided by a network of
more than 4,600 Ford Motor Company dealers.

NOTE: Repairs performed outside the United States, Canada, Guam or
Puerto Rico are not eligible for Ford ESP coverage.

10. How to apply for a delayed warranty start
date or in-transit mileage accumulation
extension

You may be eligible to request a delayed warranty start date and/or in­transit mileage accumulation extension if:

• you purchased your truck from someone who is not a Ford dealer,
such as a body company (i.e., bus body manufacturer, crane and spe­cial equipment company, etc.); or

• the truck was not put into service immediately after you purchased it
because it was delivered to a firm to have a special body or special
equipment installed; or

• your new truck was driven (not transported) from the assembly plant
to the dealer or to a body company and then to the dealer or other
locations.

If one of these conditions applies to you, work with your Ford dealer to
establish the correct warranty start date or in-transit mileage accumula­tion extension for your new truck. You will need your sales invoice
and/or state registration that shows the date that your specially equipped
truck was delivered to you.

DELAYED WARRANTY START DATE

After your Ford dealer helps you establish your warranty start date, com­plete the form, ‘‘Notification of Delayed Delivery Date or In-transit Mile­age Accumulation,’’ located in the back of this booklet. Your Ford dealer
also will help you complete the ‘‘Reason for Delay of Warranty Start
Date’’ section of the form. When this section is completed, submit imme­diately to Ford Motor Company with the supporting documentation.

Failure to request a delayed warranty start date may reduce the
period of effective warranty coverage.

MILEAGE ACCUMULATION EXTENSION

After your Ford dealer helps you establish the in-transit mileage accumu­lation extension, you should complete the form, ‘‘Notification of Delayed
Delivery Date or In-transit Mileage Accumulation,’’ located in the back of
this booklet. Your Ford dealer will help you complete the ‘‘Reason for
In-transit Mileage Accumulation’’ section of the form. When this section
of the form is complete, DO NOT submit to Ford Motor Company.
Present the copy to the dealer if a repair is required beyond warranty,
but within the mileage extension period.

Failure to request an in-transit mileage accumulation extension
may reduce the period of effective warranty coverage.

Important: If both conditions (delayed warranty start date and
in-transit mileage accumulation) exist, one copy must be mailed
to Ford Motor Company to change the warranty start date.You
should keep a copy to present to the dealer if a repair is required
beyond warranty, but within the mileage extension period.
