the best performance in your vehicle. Using these
parts for replacement is your assurance that
Ford-built quality stays in your vehicle.

Always dispose of used automotive fluids in

a responsible manner. Follow your community’s
standards for disposing of these types of fluids. Call
your local recycling center to find out about

Accident Damage

Should your vehicle suffer accident damage
requiring new sheet metal or plastic replacement
parts, be sure your repair shop uses only genuine
Ford replacement parts.

While imitation body parts may appear similar to
genuine Ford parts on the surface, differences in
quality become obvious when both are subjected to
standard Ford quality tests.

Ford tests indicate that you should be concerned
with the quality of the fit and finish, corrosion
resistance and structural integrity of these imitation
replacement parts, and how their use will affect
your warranty.

How Can You Protect Yourself?

Before

any repair work begins, tell your adjuster

that you want your vehicle repaired using

only

genuine Ford body parts. If the adjuster refuses,
contact your insurance agent for help. If your agent
and your insurance company refuse to repair your
vehicle with original factory parts, you should
contact your state insurance commissioner, the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or a
local consumer protection agency.

In Canada, contact provincial insurance
commissioners, Transport Canada or local consumer
protection groups.
