Use only recommended fuels, lubricants, fluids,
and service parts conforming to Ford
specifications. Motorcraft parts are designed and
built to provide the best performance in your
vehicle. Using these parts for replacement is your
assurance that Ford-buflt quality stays in your
vehicle.
NOTE: Always dispose of used automotive fluids
in a responsible manner. Follow your community's
standards for disposing of these types of fluids.
Call your local recycling center to find out about
recycling automotive fluids.
Accident Damage
Should your vehicle suffer accident damage
requiring new sheet metal or plastic replacement
parts, be sure your repair shop uses only genuine
Ford replacement parts.
While imitation body parts may appear similar to
genuine Ford parts on the surface, differences in
232
quality become obvious when both are subjected to
standard Ford quality tests.
Ford tests indicate that you should be concerned with
the quality of the fit and finish, corrosion resistance
and structural integrity of these imitation replacement
parts, and how their use will affect your warranty.
How Can You Protect Yourself?.
Before any repair work begins, tell your adjuster that
you want your vehicle repaired using only genuine
Ford body parts. If the adjuster refuses, contact your
insurance agent for help. If your agent and your
insurance company refuse to repair your vehicle with
original factory parts, you should contact your state
insurance commissioner, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration or a local consumer protection
agency.
In Canada, contact provincial insurance
commissioners, Transport Canada or local consumer
protection groups.
