exceed Ford's suggested retail price for the warranted parts that are replaced and labor charges based on Ford's recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly rate. 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 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 vehicle's emissions control systems may not work as effectively, and you may jeopardize your emissions warranty coverage. For vehicles 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. The maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control devices or systems can be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using Ford replacement parts or EPA certified parts without voiding your federal warranty coverage for future repairs during the warranty period. 21

WHAT REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD I USE?
Ford Motor Company recommends that you use genuine Ford replace-
ment 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 vehicle’s emissions con-
trol systems may not work as effectively, and you may jeopardize your
emissions warranty coverage.
For vehicles within the warranty period, Ford will repair at no cost to
the owner, under the Federal Emissions Warranty, covered emission fail-
ures 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.
The maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control de-
vices or systems can be performed by any automotive repair es-
tablishment or individual using Ford replacement parts or EPA
certified parts without voiding your federal warranty coverage
for future repairs during the warranty period.
