Damage Caused by Improper Maintenance

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage caused by failure to maintain the vehicle,
improperly maintaining the vehicle, or using the wrong part, fuel, oil, lubricants, or fluids.
In fact, failure to perform maintenance as specified in your Owner's Guide will invalidate warranty coverage
on parts affected by improper maintenance.
Please consult your Owner's Guide for correct fluid specifications and levels, and read the Scheduled
Maintenance section in your Owner's Guide, for instructions on proper maintenance of your vehicle.

Maintenance/Wear

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover parts and labour needed to maintain your vehicle and
replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear (except for items listed under Some Maintenance and Wear
Items Have Limited Coverage). You, as the owner, are responsible for these items. Here are examples:
• Oil Changes
• Cleaning/Polishing
• Engine Tune-ups
• Oil/Air Filters
• Tire Rotations
• Oils, Lubricants, Other Fluids
Parts that should be replaced as per Ford's Scheduled Maintenance Services are covered against defects in
materials or workmanship made or supplied by Ford until the earlier of:
A. The first replacement time that is specified in your Owner's Guide; or
B. The "time and distanced travelled" limits of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty (whichever occurs first).

Some Maintenance and Wear Items Have Limited Coverage

Ford of Canada dealers will replace brake pads and linings for 12 months or 20,000 km (whichever
occurs first) from the original warranty start date, if required due to failure caused by normal wear and tear.
Ford of Canada dealers will replace the original wiper blades for 6 months unlimited distance travelled
from the original warranty start date, if required due to failure caused by normal wear and tear.
