Warranty Start Policies Overview

The new vehicle limited warranty coverage for a vehicle begins when a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury Dealer sells the vehicle to an individual or organization or when a vehicle is first put into service (i.e., is used as a demonstrator, driven to trade shows, etc.). The sale or in‐service date becomes the vehicle’s recognized warranty start date (This is the date when the new vehicle’s limited warranty coverage begins). The vehicle’s mileage warranty coverage begins at zero miles.

In some special cases, however, the vehicle’s original warranty start date and/or warranty start mileage may need to be updated. This is referred to as a Delayed Warranty Start Date and/or In‐Transit Mileage Accumulation warranty coverage extension. Requests for a warranty coverage extension for an individual vehicle may be made if a new vehicle was:

• Purchased from a body manufacturer, special equipment company or their retailers and not a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury Dealer. • Not put into service immediately after it was purchased due to the installation of a special body or equipment. • Driven (not transported) from assembly plants to dealers or to body companies and then to dealers or retailers before it was finally delivered to the owner. Note: Vehicles used by a body manufacturer, special equipment company or retailer for demonstration, show, rental or any other purpose are not eligible for a Delayed Warranty Start Date and/or In‐Transit Mileage Accumulation.

The customer and vehicle information submitted via the on‐line or paper FCS‐900 Form is used to update, in Ford Motor Company’s databases, the name and address of the original vehicle owner (end‐user) and the actual and original date and mileage that an individual vehicle was sold or placed into service. This action helps ensure that the original vehicle owner (end‐user) is properly listed in Ford Motor Company’s databases and that they receive the full benefit of their new vehicle’s limited warranty coverage as offered by Ford Motor Company.

Note: FCS‐900 Forms should be completed and submitted to Ford Motor Company immediately. Warranty Start Date

Ford Motor Company’s Online Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) can be used to verify that a request made through the on‐line or paper FCS‐900 Form process has properly updated Ford Motor Company’s databases. OASIS vehicle information can be accessed for you by your local Ford or Lincoln/Mercury Dealer or if your organization is a recognized commercial fleet, OASIS can be accessed through the Ford Fleet Website at www.fleet.ford.com. Delayed Warranty Start Date

A request for an update to an individual Ford Motor Company vehicle’s warranty start date may be made if the vehicle meets the criteria listed in the Overview and the FCS‐900 Form Standards sections of this document. A vehicle’s warranty start date is considered to be the date when the vehicle is originally sold or when the vehicle was first put into service.

In‐Transit Mileage Accumulation

Occasionally LCF/F650/750 trucks are driven from assembly plants to dealers or to body companies and then to dealers or other locations. The owner should complete the Notification of In‐Transit Mileage Accumulation Form in the customer Warranty Guide to record the extended mileage. The extension is equal to the actual number of miles accumulated before delivery up to a maximum of 4,000 miles.

IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to submit the Notification of In‐Transit Mileage Accumulation Form to Ford Motor Company for a mileage extension. The customer must maintain a copy of this form to support the mileage extension if a repair is required beyond warranty but within the mileage extension period. FCS‐900 Form Standards
