Ford will also now reimburse fleets and independent repair facilities up to $150 in labor coverage. Ford continues a No Commercial Exceptions policy as a commitment to fleet customers.
The new Service Parts Warranty (SPW) applies to all Motorcraft and Genuine Ford parts sold to customers or installed on a customer-paid repair, effective Oct. 1, 2013.
Now SPW labor for parts sold over the counter is reimbursable to requesting fleets and installers at limit of $150 per repair. Previously, they had no labor prevision on replacement parts bought over the counter.
A greater SPW coverage remains unchanged on parts with unique warranty coverage including sheet metal, gas engine and transmission assemblies, diesel engine assemblies, and more.
