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 specialized training, so not all
dealers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs. Depending on the
warranty repair needed, the vehicle may need to be serviced at another Dealer.
If a particular dealership cannot assist you, then contact the Customer
Relationship Center at 1-800-392-3673.
This booklet explains in detail the warranty coverages that apply to your
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). If you bought a previously owned 2021-model
electric vehicle, you are eligible for any remaining warranty coverages.
While you may take your vehicle to any Ford Motor Company dealership for most
repairs, certain repairs involving the high voltage components must be
completed at an Electric Vehicle (EV) Certified Ford dealership. You can
identify and locate EV Certified Ford Dealers using the dealer locator tool on
Ford.com, or by calling the Customer Relationship Center at
1-800-392-3673.
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, page 25 or call
1-800-955-5100.
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 the 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.
MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY
Your Owner’s Manual, provided with your vehicle, 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 that all the scheduled maintenance is
performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering specifications.
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance as specified in the Owner’s Manual
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 EV dealership, or local Quick Lane Tire & Auto 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 Owner’s Manual – 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 the Customer Relationship Center at
1-800-392-3673 to learn whether any
adjustment program is applicable to your vehicle. Please have your Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) available.
DO WARRANTIES APPLY IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty described in this booklet applies to your
vehicle if:
-
it was originally purchased through the Ford Export 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. If you are
in a country in which there is no EV Certified Ford Dealer, please contact the
nearest EV Dealer for assistance. 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 2021-Model Battery Electric
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’s Manual.
Ford recommends that you maintain copies of all maintenance records and
receipts for review by Ford.
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.
DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR BUSINESS AND RACING USE
Ford disclaims all implied warranties if the vehicle is used for
business or commercial purposes.
Ford disclaims the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose
if your vehicle is used for racing, even if the vehicle is equipped for
racing.
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.
APPLICABILITY OF LIMITATIONS OF IMPLIED WARRANTY TO NEW VEHICLE LIMITED
WARRANTY
This information about the limitation of implied warranties and the
exclusion of incidental and consequential damages also applies to the NEW
VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY.
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 25 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 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 9-12)
What is Not Covered? (pages 13-17)
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
– 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 manufacturing defect
in factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship.
Note: Warranted repairs with respect to the high voltage battery assembly
must be performed by an EV Certified Ford dealership.
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.
Ford provides the New Vehicle Limited Warranty only to remedy manufacturing
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 13-17. 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 or prohibiting that
defective parts 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 facilities other than a
Ford Dealer.
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).
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, Motorcraft, remanufactured or other
parts that are authorized by Ford. In certain instances, Ford may authorize
repairs at facilities other than a Ford Dealer. 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 16 for details of
what is not covered.
Extended warranty coverage periods are available for certain vehicle parts
and conditions. Specifically,
- Your vehicle’s Powertrain components are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The extended Powertrain coverage applies to all components of the driveline that are not specifically covered by the Electric Vehicle Component warranty. Powertrain components that receive warranty coverage for five years or 60,000 miles may include gears, differential, shafts, fluid pumps, seals and gaskets, bearings, mounts, driveshaft, retainers, supports, universal and constant velocity joints.
- The high voltage battery and eDrive systems of your vehicle are covered by the Electric Vehicle Component coverage for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. High voltage battery and drive components covered by this warranty include the high voltage battery assembly, Bussed Electrical Center (BEC), Battery Energy Control Module (BECM), on-board charger, Inverter System Controller (ISC), DC/DC converter, and eDrive. If a covered component requires replacement under the Electric Vehicle Component warranty, it may be replaced with a new, factory remanufactured, or factory refurbished component, at Ford’s discretion. Refurbished battery components selected for your vehicle will align with your vehicle’s age and mileage and meet Ford’s requirements and standards.
- Your vehicle’s safety belts and airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) are covered for an extended Safety Restraint Coverage Period, which lasts for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
- Your vehicle’s body sheet metal panels are covered for an extended Corrosion Coverage Period, which lasts for five years, regardless of miles driven. The extended warranty coverage only applies if a body sheet metal panel becomes perforated due to corrosion during normal use due to a manufacturing defect in factory-supplied materials or factory workmanship. If aluminum body panels have corrosion or rust damage, and the damage is not the result of abnormal usage, vehicle accident, customer actions, and/or extreme environmental conditions, the corrosion or rust damage repairs are covered for 5 years, unlimited miles. For damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout) where there is no factory-related defect involved and therefore no warranty – our policy is to provide a free repair of paint damage due to the airborne material for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
High Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity Coverage
As is the case with all batteries, the high voltage lithium-ion battery
capacity will decrease over time and with use. While gradual capacity loss
with time and use is considered normal wear and tear, Ford Motor Company
warrants the high voltage battery against excessive capacity loss for a period
of 8 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first. If an authorized EV Certified
Ford Dealer determines that the battery capacity is less than 70 percent of
the high voltage battery’s beginning of life capacity, or less than 65 percent
for vehicles in cutaway or chassis cab configuration, this level of capacity
loss is considered excessive. The measurement method used to determine the
high voltage battery capacity, and the decision of whether to repair, replace,
or provide reconditioned or remanufactured parts and the condition of any such
replaced, reconditioned or remanufactured parts, are at the sole discretion of
Ford Motor Company. During the High Voltage Battery Capacity Coverage period,
Ford Motor Company will cover the necessary component repair or replacement to
correct this excessive capacity loss, when performed by an EV Certified Ford
dealership. This coverage is in addition to the high voltage battery
assembly’s limited warranty for defects in materials or workmanship. If a
warranty repair requires replacement of the high voltage battery assembly or
one of its components, it may be replaced with a new, factory remanufactured,
or factory refurbished component, at Ford’s discretion. Refurbished battery
components selected for your vehicle will align with your vehicle’s age, and
mileage.
NOTE: The battery capacity degradation rate will vary based on various
factors, including environmental conditions, and will also be affected by the
way in which the vehicle is used. Following the recommendations in the
Preserving, Your High Voltage Battery section of the Owner’s Manual may help
lower the rate of capacity degradation and optimize battery life.
Over the Air (OTA) Updates
During the warranty coverage period, Ford Motor Company warrants that:
you will not be charged for diagnosis, repair, replacement, or adjustment of
components that are damaged or inoperable due to a defect caused by an OTA
update
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY?
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 fluids
- customer-applied chemicals or accidental spills
- driving through water deep enough to cause water to be ingested into any component. i.e. powertrain components
- immersion/flooding of the high voltage battery assembly
- abuse and/or misuse of the vehicle and/or high voltage battery pack, such as driving over curbs, overloading, racing, or using the vehicle as a permanent stationary power source
- exceeding the load limits specified on the certification label. See your Owner’s Manual for the location of the certification label
- failure to observe and resolve vehicle warnings and indications of battery concerns within a reasonable amount of time, typically 30 days
- failure to complete software updates within a reasonable amount of time, typically 30 days
- the use of incompatible charging devices or methods
- modifications to the high voltage battery assembly, high voltage system, or associated wiring
- exposure to direct and/or intense heat sources outside of normal use, such as collision repairs that subject the vehicle to paint booth conditions that exceed Ford’s recommendations
- allowing the high voltage battery assembly to remain in a fully discharged, or near zero states of charge, for more than 14 days
- repairs performed by facilities and personnel not authorized by Ford, including repairs which would have otherwise been covered under the manufacturer’s warranty,
- improper vehicle storage resulting in high voltage battery damage (See Owner’s Manual for vehicle storage recommendations)
In order to maintain your warranty coverage, be sure to follow the
recommendations in the Owner’s Manual under Preserving Your High Voltage
Battery.
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage to the Ford Mobile
Charger caused by abuse or misuse. Always use the Ford Mobile Charger in a
manner that conforms to the directions found in the Owner’s Manual.
Damage Caused by Alteration or Modification

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 or software and performance “chips”.
Your vehicle may allow, enable or facilitate the use of certain non-Ford Motor
Company software. Ford is not responsible for the functionality of such
software. Ford may disallow, discontinue or modify your ability to use such
software at any time without prior notification or incurring any warranty or
other obligation. Non-Ford Motor Company software may be governed by the End
User License Agreement or warranty provided by the software provider. Ford
Motor Company software sees the End User License Agreement found in the Owner
Manual.
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. You, as the owner, are responsible
for these items. Some examples are

- vehicles that have had the odometer disconnected, altered, or inoperative for an extended period of time with the result that the actual mileage cannot be determined
- vehicles that have ever been labeled or branded as dismantled, fire, flood, junk, rebuilt, reconstructed, or salvaged; this will void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
- vehicles that have been determined to be a total loss by an insurance company; this will void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
- converted ambulances that are not equipped with the Ford Ambulance Prep Package, see important information about ambulance conversions (page 27)
- aftermarket parts or components, sometimes installed by Ford Motor Company or an authorized Ford dealership, may not be covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Any damage caused to Ford components due to the failure of aftermarket parts is not covered.
- high-voltage battery replacement due to improper vehicle storage. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the proper ways your vehicle’s battery must be maintained in the event the vehicle is not driven or is stored for an extended period.
In addition …
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 EV Certified Ford dealership, or to your selling dealership if within 35 miles of the disablement
- Should your BEV be disabled due to low charge, similar to emergency fuel delivery to ICE vehicle, towing to the nearest public charger, EV Certified Ford dealership, or home if within 35 mi radius of your vehicle’s location. (Limited to two occurrences in a 12-month period)
- In the case of a flat tire, roadside assistance will help with the use of the tire mobility kit, or if the kit is damaged or unusable or if requested by the customer, roadside assistance will tow to the nearest Dealer
- 12V Battery jump starts
- Lock-out assistance (replacement key cost is customer responsibility)
- Winch out services: includes pulling a vehicle within 100 feet of a paved or county-maintained road. No recoveries.
The Roadside Assistance Program is separate from the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. It begins at the warranty start date and lasts for five years or
60,000 miles (whichever occurs first). If you need towing beyond the five
years or 60,000 miles (whichever occurs first) period, Ford can arrange
roadside assistance and charge your credit card. If the reason for the vehicle
disablement is later found to be covered by another Ford warranty, Ford will
provide a refund for the tow charge under the other warranty, through the
dealership.
For emergency roadside assistance, call
1-800-241-3673, 24 hours a day, 365
days a year.
Ford Rent-A-Car (FRAC) and Dealer Daily Rental (DDR) vehicles must be towed
because a covered repair failed during the warranty coverage period, Ford will
cover towing to the nearest Ford Motor Company dealership.
Ford Motor Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue Roadside
Assistance at any time. Certain restrictions apply to Roadside Assistance
benefits. Call 1-800-241-3673 for
further details.
5. Additional information about your warranty coverage
NOTE: Fully-electric vehicles are not eligible for any emissions
warranties.
WHAT REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD I USE?
Ford Motor Company recommends that you use genuine Ford replacement parts.
However, when you are having non-warranty work performed 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
vehicle’s systems may not work as effectively, and you may jeopardize your
warranty coverage.
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 Motor Company 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 Motor Company Dealer
as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a
reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Ford Motor Company may
deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
To preserve your warranty, the following conditions should be observed (See
Owner’s Manual for further detail):
- Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the proper ways your vehicle’s battery must be maintained in the event the vehicle is not driven or is stored for an extended period.
- Follow all instructions for use and charging of the high voltage battery assembly
- Use the vehicle, charging equipment, and high voltage battery assembly as intended and as described in the Owner Manual, and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Have all high voltage battery assembly service and repairs performed by properly qualified and equipped personnel at an EV Certified Ford dealership.
PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY
The high voltage battery assembly in the vehicle is designed to operate within
a sealed system. Removing the high voltage battery assembly from the vehicle,
or opening the high voltage battery assembly, creates a risk of damage to the
high voltage battery assembly, as well as a risk of personal injury, including
electrocution. EV Certified Ford dealerships are specially trained and
equipped to repair the high voltage battery assembly and high voltage systems
on the vehicle and are the only repair facilities authorized to repair the
high voltage battery assembly.
In order to maintain optimal battery life and functionality of your vehicle,
it is imperative that all high voltage battery software updates are installed.
You are responsible for ensuring all software updates are installed within 30
days of software availability. You can most easily accomplish this by keeping
Automatic Updates set to ON. If you are unable or choose not to use your
vehicle’s connectivity features to update software, your Ford Dealer can
determine if software updates are available for your vehicle and perform these
updates. Battery system updates will be installed at no cost to you during the
warranty period. Damage resulting from failure to install battery system
updates will not be covered under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
During the warranty coverage period, Ford Motor Company warrants that you will
not be charged for diagnosis, repair, replacement, or adjustment of components
that are damaged or inoperable due to a defect caused by an OTA update.
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’s Manual.
Be sure to save your service receipts and to keep accurate records of all
maintenance work.

8. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) AUTO LINE Program (U.S. Only)
Your satisfaction is important to Ford Motor Company and to your Dealer. If a
warranty concern has not been resolved using the three-step procedure outlined
on the first page of the Customer Assistance section, you may be eligible to
participate in the BBB AUTO LINE program.
The BBB AUTO LINE program consists of two parts — mediation and arbitration.
During mediation, a representative of the BBB will contact both you and Ford
Motor Company to explore options for settlement of the claim. If an agreement
is not reached during mediation and your claim is eligible, you may
participate in the arbitration process. An arbitration hearing will be
scheduled so that you can present your case in an informal setting before an
impartial person. The arbitrator will consider the testimony provided and make
a decision after the hearing.
You are not bound by the decision, but should you choose to accept the BBB
AUTO LINE decision, Ford must abide by the accepted decision as well. Disputes
submitted to the BBB AUTO LINE program are usually decided within forty days
after you file your claim with the BBB.
BBB AUTO LINE Application: Using the information provided below, please call
or write to request a program application. You will be asked for your name and
address, general information about your new vehicle, information about your
warranty concerns, and any steps you have already taken to try to resolve
them. A Customer Claim Form will be mailed that will need to be completed,
signed, and returned to the BBB along with proof of ownership. Upon request,
the BBB will review the claim for eligibility under the Program Summary
Guidelines.
You can get more information by calling BBB
AUTO LINE at 1-800-955-5100, or
writing to:
BBB AUTO LINE 3033
Wilson Boulevard, Suite 600
Arlington, Virginia 22201

Company Customer Relationship Center at
1-800-392-3673.
Note: Ford Motor Company reserves the right to change eligibility
limitations, modify procedures, or discontinue this process at any time
without notice and without obligation.
9. State warranty enforcement laws
These state laws – sometimes called lemon laws – allow owners to receive a
replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price, under certain
circumstances. The laws vary from state to state. To the extent your state law
allows, Ford Motor Company requires that you first send us a written
notification of any defects or non-conformities that you have experienced with
your vehicle. (This will give us the opportunity to make any needed repairs
before you pursue the remedies provided by your state’s law.) In all other
states where not specifically required by state law, Ford Motor Company
requests that you give us the written notice. Send your written notification
to:
Ford Motor Company
Customer Relationship Center
P.O. Box 6248 Dearborn, MI 48126
10. Important information about ambulance conversion s
Ford vehicles are suitable for producing ambulances only if equipped with the
Ford Ambulance Prep Package. In addition, Ford urges ambulance manufacturers
to follow the recommendations of the Ford Incomplete Vehicle Manual and the
Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book (and pertinent supplements).
Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford Ambulance Prep Package to produce an
ambulance could result in elevated underbody temperatures, fuel over-
pressurization, and the risk of fuel expulsion and fires. Such use also voids
the Ford Bumper to Bumper Warranty and may void the Emissions Warranties.
You may determine whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford Ambulance Prep
Package by inspecting the information plate on the driver’s rear door pillar.
You may determine whether the ambulance manufacturer has followed Ford’s
recommendations by contacting the ambulance manufacturer of your vehicle.
