Warranty repairs to your vehicle must be

performed by an authorized dealer. While

any authorized dealer handling your vehicle

line will provide warranty service, we

recommend you return to your selling

authorized dealer who wants to ensure

your continued satisfaction.

Please note that certain warranty repairs

require special training and equipment, so

not all authorized dealers are authorized

to perform all warranty repairs. This means

that, depending on the warranty repair

needed, you may have to take your vehicle

to another authorized dealer.

A reasonable time must be allowed to

perform a repair after taking your vehicle

to the authorized dealer. Repairs will be

made using Ford or Motorcraft® parts, or

remanufactured or other parts that are

authorized by Ford.

UTILIZING THE

GETTING ASSISTANCE

OUTSIDE THE U.S. AND

CANADA

MEDIATION/ARBITRATION

PROGRAM (CANADA ONLY)

For vehicles delivered to authorized

Canadian dealers. In those cases where

you continue to feel that the efforts by Ford

of Canada and the authorized dealer to

resolve a factory-related vehicle service

concern have been unsatisfactory, Ford of

Canada participates in an impartial third

party mediation/arbitration program

administered by the Canadian Motor

Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).

Before exporting your vehicle to a foreign

country, contact the appropriate foreign

embassy or consulate. These officials can

inform you of local vehicle registration

regulations and where to find unleaded

fuel or petrol/gas engines or the proper

sulfur fuel for diesel engines.

If you cannot find the proper fuel

recommended for your vehicle, contact

our Customer Relationship Center.

The CAMVAP program is a straight forward

and relatively speedy alternative to resolve

a disagreement when all other efforts to

produce a settlement have failed. This

procedure is without cost to you and is

designed to eliminate the need for lengthy

and expensive legal proceedings.

The use of improper fuels in your vehicle

without proper conversion may damage

the effectiveness of your emission control

system and may cause engine knocking or

serious engine damage. Ford Motor

Company or Ford of Canada is not

responsible for any damage caused by use

of improper fuel. Using improper fuels may

also result in difficulty importing your

vehicle back into the United States.

If your vehicle must be serviced while you

are traveling or living in Asia-Pacific Region,

Sub-Saharan Africa, U.S. Virgin Islands

and/or Puerto Rico, Central America, the

Caribbean, and Israel and the Middle East,

contact the nearest authorized dealer. If

the authorized dealer cannot help you,

contact the corresponding Ford Customer

Assistance Center:

In the CAMVAP program, impartial

third-party arbitrators conduct hearings at

mutually convenient times and places in

an informal environment. These impartial

arbitrators review the positions of the

parties, make decisions and, when

appropriate, render awards to resolve

disputes. CAMVAP decisions are fast, fair,

and final as the arbitrator’s award is

binding on both you and Ford of Canada.

CAMVAP services are available in all

Canadian territories and provinces. For

more information, without charge or

obligation, call your CAMVAP Provincial

Administrator directly at 1-800-207-0685

or visit www.camvap.ca.
