2004 Ford F150 Warranty Guide 5th Printing - Page 10

Two separate warranties apply to tires on your new vehicle. The new Vehicle Limited Warranty provides no-cost coverage for tire repairs, replacements, or adjustments due to defects in factory-supplied materials or workmanship during the Bumper to Bumper Coverage period. The tire manufacturer also provides you with a separate tire warranty that may extend beyond the Bumper to Bumper Coverage period. You will find the manufacturer's tire warranty with the owner literature supplied with your vehicle. During the Bumper to Bumper Coverage period, your authorized Ford Motor Company dealer has the desire to ensure your complete satisfaction at no out-of-pocket cost to you. In addition, 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 during the Ford Bumper to Bumper Coverage period for a covered repair (replacement or adjustment), 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. Safety Restraint Coverage Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Safety Restraint Coverage begins at the warranty start date and lasts for five years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. During this coverage period, Ford Motor Company or Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company warrants your vehicle's safety belts and air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) against defects in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. Corrosion Coverage Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Corrosion Coverage begins at the warranty start date and covers body sheet metal panels against corrosion due to a defect in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. Corrosion coverage (which lasts for 5 years, regardless of miles driven) only applies if the corrosion causes perforation (holes) in body sheet metal panels. If corrosion does not cause perforation (holes), and is not the result of usage and/or environmental conditions, paint damage is covered under the terms of the Bumper to Bumper Warranty (3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first). 6
