ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

Vehicles Sold in the United States: Getting Roadside Assistance

To fully assist you should you have a vehicle concern, Ford Motor
Company offers a complimentary Roadside Assistance program. This
program is separate from the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• 24 hours a day, seven days a week
• For the coverage period listed on the Roadside Assistance Card

included in your Owner’s Manual portfolio.

Roadside assistance will cover:
• A flat tire change with a good spare (except vehicles that have been

supplied with a tire inflation kit).

• Battery jump start.
• Lock-out assistance (key replacement cost is the customer’s

responsibility).

• Fuel delivery – Independent Service Contractors, if not prohibited by

state, local or municipal law, shall deliver up to 2.0 gallons (7.5 liters)
of gasoline or 5.0 gallons (18.9 liters) of diesel fuel to a disabled
vehicle. Fuel delivery service is limited to two no-charge occurrences
within a 12-month period.

• Winch out – available within 100 feet (30.5 meters) of a paved or

county maintained road, no recoveries.

• Towing – Ford eligible vehicles will be towed to an authorized dealer

within 35 miles (56.3 kilometers) of the disablement location or to the
nearest authorized dealer. If a member requests to be towed to an
authorized dealer more than 35 miles (56.3 kilometers) from the
disablement location, the member shall be responsible for any mileage
costs in excess of 35 miles (56.3 kilometers).

Roadside Assistance will include up to $200 coverage for a towed trailer
if the disabled eligible vehicle requires service at the nearest authorized
dealer. If the towing vehicle is operational but the trailer is not, then the
trailer does not qualify for any roadside services.
