Vehicles Sold in the U.S.: 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. The service is available:
• 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 and Lincoln eligible vehicles towed to an authorized dealer within
35 miles (56 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 kilometers) from the disablement location, the member shall be responsible for
any mileage costs in excess of 35 miles (56 kilometers).
Trailers shall be covered up to $200 if the disabled eligible vehicle requires service at the nearest authorized dealer. If the trailer is disabled, but the towing vehicle is operational, the trailer does not qualify for any roadside services.
