If the transmission is contaminated and damaged to the point that complete transmission overhaul is necessary, dealers must perform a Cost Cap
Analysis using the Cost Cap Tool found on the Professional Technician Society (PTS) Website.
ADDITIONAL LABOR TIME
^
If a condition exists that requires additional labor to complete the repair, call the Special Service Support Center to request approval prior to
performing any additional labor. Requests for approval after completion of the repair will not be granted.
^
If you encounter aftermarket equipment or modifications to the vehicle which might prevent the repair of the covered condition, call the Special
Service Support Center.
OWNER REFUNDS
^
Ford Motor Company is offering a refund for owner-paid repairs covered by this program if the repair was performed before the date of the
Owner Notification Letter. This refund offer expires October 31, 2010.
^
Dealers are also authorized to refund owner-paid emergency repairs that were performed away from an authorized servicing dealer after the date
of the Owner Notification Letter. There is no expiration date for emergency repair refunds. Non-covered repairs, or those judged by Ford to be
excessive, will not be reimbursed.
^
Refunds will only be provided for the cost associated with low regulated fluid pressure to transmission clutches (burnt or slipping) and/or
replacement of the transmission valve body.
RENTAL VEHICLES
In most cases, a rental vehicle will not be required. If a customer's vehicle requires a transmission repair and it is necessary to order parts, Ford will pay
for up to two days of vehicle rental except for fuel and insurance which will be at the owner's expense. The parts order must be an emergency order (unit
down) if the order is placed between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM (your local time zone) to guarantee next day delivery. Prior approval for additional rental
days is required from the Special Service Support Center. Rentals should be provided only while the vehicle is at the dealership for part replacement.
Follow Extended Service Plan (ESP) guidelines for rental dollar amounts. Enter the word "RENTAL" plus the number of days the vehicle was used in
the Miscellaneous Expense area of the recall claim form.
