Ford Warranties
The actual towing capability and performance of the
Vehicle will depend upon a
number of factors, including the
Vehicle’s
specifications (including engine capacity,
transmission type, axle ratio and tyre type and size, and so on), the condition of the
Vehicle
, the size, shape and weight of the caravan, trailer or equipment being towed,
the total weight of the load (including the
Vehicle’s
load and the load being towed),
the conditions and gradient of the roads or other terrain being traversed, and the
weather and other prevailing conditions.
If you wish to use your
Vehicle
for towing you should be careful to ensure that it is
properly fitted and equipped for towing with a
Ford
approved towing pack suitable
for the equipment and the load being towed, and that the equipment recommended
for use with such towing pack is properly fitted and used.
If any
Part of the Vehicle is damaged or fails as a result of you not complying with
Ford’s recommendations in connection with towing, any claim with respect to such
Part under the Ford Vehicle Warranty
will be rejected.
12. Are tyres covered by the
Ford Vehicle Warranty?
The original tyres fitted to the
Vehicle
are covered by the
Ford Vehicle Warranty. If
you replace any original tyre with a tyre which is approved for the
Vehicle
by
Ford
during the
Ford Vehicle Warranty Period
, the replacement tyre will be covered for the
remainder of the
Ford Vehicle Warranty Period.
The application of the
Ford Vehicle Warranty
to tyres (as stated above) is in
addition to those rights and remedies which are conferred upon you by any
Statutory Enactment
or by the terms of any express warranty provided by the tyre
manufacturer.
13. Are
Ford Parts and Ford Accessories covered by express
warranties?
A
Ford Part or a Ford Accessory purchased from an Authorised Ford Dealer
will be
expressly warranted by
Ford under the Ford Parts and Accessories Warranty. The
terms of this warranty are described later in this section of your guide. Please note
that tyres are not covered by the terms of the
Ford Parts and Accessories Warranty.
Refer to Questions 12 for details of warranty coverage for tyres.
If a
Ford Part or Ford Accessory
is fitted by an
Authorised Ford Dealer to a Vehicle
prior to or during the
Ford Vehicle Warranty Period that Ford Part or Ford Accessory
will be warranted by
Ford against defects in factory materials and workmanship
during the
Ford Vehicle Warranty Period, or the warranty period of the Ford Parts
and Accessories Warranty, which ever is longer. If that Ford Part or Ford Accessory
is found to be defective in factory materials or workmanship and is replaced with
another
Ford Part or Ford Accessory the Ford Part or Ford Accessory supplied as
the replacement will be covered for the warranty period of the
Parts and Accessories
Warranty, or the remainder of the Ford Vehicle Warranty Period, whichever is longer.
