Maintenance/Wear The New Vehicle 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. See your Scheduled Maintenance Guide. Some examples of maintenance and normal wear are: • oil changes • clutch linings • oils, lubricants, other fluids • Wiper blades • oil/air filters • tire rotation/inflation • cleaning/polishing Where a vehicle has no factory-related defect, and is therefore not entitled to a warranty related repair, replacement or adjustment, it is Ford policy nonetheless to provide certain maintenance items, when necessary, free of charge during a limited period: • wiper blade replacements will be provided during the first 12 months in service, regardless of miles driven • wheel alignments and tire balancing (unless required by a warranty repair) will be provided during the first 12 months or 12,000 miles in service, whichever occurs first • Brake pad/lining replacements will be provided during the first 12 months or 18,000 miles in service, whichever occurs first Tire Wear or Damage The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover normal wear or worn out tires. Tires will not be replaced (unless required by a warranty repair) for wear or damage including: • tire damage from road hazard such as cuts, snags, bruises, bulges, puncture, and impact breaks • tire damage due to under or over inflation, tire chain use, racing, spinning (as when stuck in snow or mud), improper mounting or dismounting, or tire repair • Wheel alignments and tire balancing • Brake pad/lining 12
