Any repair not completed within 30 days also constitutes an emergency, and any equivalent replacement part may be used in an emergency situation. Ford Motor Company will reimburse you for the repair expenses, not to exceed: (a) the manufacturer's suggested retail price for all warranted parts that are replaced; and (b) the labor charges (based on the manufacturer's recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor 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. NOTE: FEDERAL WARRANTY ONLY The maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control devices or systems, the cost of which is not covered by the warranties, can be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using non-Ford parts. 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. PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY 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 22
