New Vehicle Warranty Limitations

The foregoing coverage described in the New Vehicle Limited Warranty are the only express warranties on
the part of Ford of Canada and the selling dealer. You may have other rights which may vary by
province.
In the province of Québec, none of the following limitations and exclusions will exclude or restrict the
warranty provided for in Section 37 or 38 of the Québec Consumer Protection Act.
The foregoing express warranties are in substitution for and exclude all other liabilities of any kind whether
arising under statute, in tort, by implication of law or otherwise including, to the full extent as may be
allowed by law, liability for any other representations respecting the vehicle, statutory warranties or implied
warranties or conditions as to its merchantability or fitness.
Any implied warranty or condition as to merchantability or fitness is limited to the applicable warranty
duration period as specified herein.
In no event shall Ford of Canada or the selling dealer be liable for the loss of or damage to the vehicle
or its parts, loss of use of the vehicle, loss of time, inconvenience, commercial loss, or special
consequential or other damages, or on any other claims relating to or arising from any defect in factory
materials or workmanship found except as provided for herein.
The above provisions do not preclude the operation of any applicable provincial statute which in certain
circumstances may not allow some of the limitations and exclusions described in these warranty coverages.
In the province of Saskatchewan the duration of the applicable statutory warranties of that province
shall be concurrent with and not consecutive to the duration of the foregoing coverage of this Ford of Canada
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Inspect Your New Vehicle Carefully

Defects or damage to paint, sheet metal or other appearance items may occur during assembly or when
the vehicle is in transit to the dealer. Normally, these defects are noted and corrected at the factory or by your
dealer during new vehicle inspection. Paint, sheet metal or appearance defects present at the time your
vehicle is delivered to you are covered by this warranty. For your protection, we suggest that if you do find
any such defects, you notify your dealer within one week of the vehicle's delivery to you, as normal
deterioration due to use and exposure is not covered by this warranty.
Defects vs. Damage
Please note the distinction between "defects" and "damage" as used in the warranty. Defects are covered
because we, the manufacturer, are responsible. This includes defects in Ford-supplied parts used in
making warranty repairs as well as in the original parts of the vehicle. On the other hand, we have no
control over damage caused by such things as modifications, collision, misuse and lack of maintenance.
Therefore, damage is not covered under this warranty.
