1. Introduction
Ford Motor Company and your selling dealer thank you for selecting one of our quality products. Our commitment to you and your vehicle begins with quality protection and 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 Customer Relationship Center at 1-800-392-3673.
If you own or lease a 2007-model E-350 Livery Van equipped with the Livery Service Package or a 2007-model Crown Victoria Police Intercep­tor equipped with the Fleet Crown Police Package Option, refer to the Addendum Card that was given to you when you took delivery of your vehicle for further explanation of the amendments to the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Please ask the vehicle modifier for a copy of the Ad­dendum Card if you wish to review it prior to taking delivery of the ve­hicle.
This booklet explains in detail the warranty coverages that apply to your 2007-model car or light truck. If you bought a previously owned 2007­model vehicle, you are eligible for any remaining warranty coverages.
Ford Motor Company provides the Emissions Defect Warranties and Emissions Performance Warranties which cover your emissions con­trol systems, and Noise Emissions Warranty which applies only to medium/heavy duty trucks over 10,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rat­ing (pages 16-33).

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 on the front page of this booklet.
In addition, if you are an eligible U.S. owner, you may use - at no cost ­the services of the BBB AUTO LINE program. For details, see Better Busi­ness Bureau (BBB) AUTO LINE program,
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 (for example, as a dealer dem­onstrator), whichever occurs first.
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.
page 36 or call 1-800-955-5100.
MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY
Your glove compartment contains an Owner Guide and a Scheduled Maintenance Guide which indicate the scheduled maintenance re-
quired for your vehicle. Proper maintenance guards against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance, may help increase the value you receive when you sell or trade your vehicle, and is important in allowing your vehicle to comply with applicable emissions standards.
It is your responsibility to make sure that all of the scheduled mainte­nance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance as specified in
2
the Scheduled Maintenance Guide 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 and confirma­tion of maintenance work is always entered in your Scheduled Mainte- nance Guide.
Your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership, or Ford or Lincoln Mercury Auto Care Service Center, 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.
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 have mandated alternate time coverage periods for parts of your vehicle (e.g. seatbelts).
Some states and/or local governments may require a tax on a portion of warranty repairs. Where applicable law allows, the tax must be paid by you, the owner of the vehicle.
During the Bumper to Bumper Warranty period, dealers may receive in­structions to provide no-cost, service-type improvements - not originally included in your Scheduled Maintenance Guide - intended to increase your overall satisfaction with your 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 1-800-392-3673 to learn whether any adjustment program is applicable to your vehicle. Please have your vehicle identification number available.

DO WARRANTIES APPLY IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty and the Emissions Warranties described in this booklet apply to your vehicle if:
it was originally purchased through the Ford Worldwide Direct Market­ing Operations 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 or U.S. Feder­alized Territory for a repair that is covered under the 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.

3. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty for your 2007-model vehicle
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 express warranties appli­cable to your vehicle. Ford does not assume or authorize anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in connection with your vehicle or these warranties. No person, including Ford employees or dealers, may modify or waive any part of these warranties.
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 and your dealer are not responsible for any time or income that you lose, any inconvenience you might be caused, 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.
You may have some implied warranties. For example, you may have an implied warranty of merchantability (that the car or light truck is rea­sonably fit for the general purpose for which it was sold) or an im­plied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose (that the car or light truck is suitable for your special purposes), if a special purpose was specifically disclosed to Ford itself not merely to the dealer before your purchase, and Ford itself not just the dealer told you the vehicle would be suitable for that purpose.
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time period covered by the written warranties, or to the applicable time period provided by state law, whichever period is shorter.
These implied warranties do not apply at all if you use your vehicle for business or commercial purposes. In addition, the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose does not apply if your vehicle is used for racing, even if the vehicle is equipped for racing.
6
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. Some states do not allow Ford to limit how long an implied warranty lasts or to exclude or limit incidental or consequential damages, so the limitation and ex­clusions described above may not apply to you.
NOTE: This information about the limitation of implied warran­ties and the exclusion of incidental and consequential damages under the NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY also applies to the EMISSIONS WARRANTIES described on pages 16-33.
Ford participates in the BBB AUTO LINE warranty dispute resolution program. You may contact BBB AUTO LINE by calling 800-955-5100.
You are required to submit your warranty dispute to the BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights or seeking remedies under the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq. To the extent permitted by the applicable state ‘‘Lemon Law’’, you are also required to submit your warranty dispute to the BBB AUTO LINE before exer­cising any rights or seeking remedies under the ‘‘Lemon Law’’. If you choose to seek remedies that are not created by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or the applicable state ‘‘Lemon Law,’’ you are not re­quired to first use BBB AUTO LINE to resolve your dispute – although the program is still available to you.
For more information regarding the BBB AUTO LINE program, see page 36 of this booklet.

QUICK REFERENCE: WARRANTY COVERAGE
This chart gives a general summary of your warranty coverage provided by Ford Motor Company under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Please refer to the description of warranty coverage for more specific information.
For each type of coverage, the chart shows two measures:
years in service miles driven
The measure that occurs first determines how long your coverage lasts. For example: Your Bumper to Bumper Coverage lasts for three years ­unless you drive more than 36,000 miles before three years elapse. In that case, your coverage ends at 36,000 miles.
For more details on coverage, see:
What is Covered? (pages 8-12)What is Not Covered? (pages 12-15)
WHAT IS COVERED?
Your NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights that vary from state to state. Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty if:
- your Ford vehicle is properly operated and maintained, and
8
- was taken to a Ford dealership for a warranted repair during the war­ranty 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
manu-
facturing 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 Vehicle 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 Vehicle Limited Warranty are described on pages 12-15. 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.
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.
Two separate warranties apply to tires on your new vehicle. 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. (See the reimbursement schedule below).
9
For vehicles within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty time in service and mileage coverage period, defective tires will be replaced on a pro rata adjustment basis according to the following mileage-based Reim­bursement Schedule:
MILES DRIVEN PERCENT OF PARTS COVERED BY FORD 1-12,000 100% 12,001-24,000 60% 24,001-36,000 30%
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.
Normal tire wear or damage is not reimbursable. See page 14 for details of what is not covered.
Extended warranty coverage periods are available for certain ve­hicle parts and conditions. Specifically,
(1) Your vehicle’s Powertrain components are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The extended coverage applies to the Engine: all internal lubricated parts, cylinder block, cylinder heads,
electrical fuel pump, electronic engine control unit, engine mounts, fly­wheel, injection pump, manifold (exhaust and intake), manifold bolts, oil pan, oil pump, seals and gaskets, thermostat, thermostat housing, timing chain cover, timing chain (gears or belt), turbocharger/supercharger unit,
