Customer Assistance -> FORD EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN for Your Ford Explorer SUV Third Generation (2002-2005)

Customer Assistance  
In some states (in the U.S.) you must directly notify Ford in writing  
before pursuing remedies under your state’s warranty laws. Ford is also  
allowed a final repair attempt in some states.  
In the United States, a warranty dispute must be submitted to the  
Dispute Settlement Board before taking action under the Magnuson-Moss  
Warranty Act, or to the extent allowed by state law, before pursuing  
replacement or repurchase remedies provided by certain state laws. This  
dispute handling procedure is not required prior to enforcing state  
created rights or other rights which are independent of the  
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or state replacement or repurchase laws.  
FORD EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN  
You can get more protection for your new car or light truck by  
purchasing Ford Extended Service Plan (Ford ESP) coverage. Ford ESP  
is an optional service contract which is backed by Ford Motor Company  
or Ford Motor Service Company (in the U.S.) and Ford of Canada (in  
Canada). It provides the following:  
Benefits during the warranty period depending on the plan you  
purchase (such as: reimbursement for rentals; coverage for certain  
maintenance and wear items).  
Protection against covered repair costs after your Bumper-to-Bumper  
Warranty expires.  
You may purchase Ford ESP from any participating Ford and Lincoln  
Mercury and Ford of Canada dealer. There are several plans available in  
various time, distance and deductible combinations which can be tailored  
to fit your own driving needs. Ford ESP also offers reimbursement  
benefits for towing and rental coverage.  
When you buy Ford ESP, you receive Peace-of-Mind protection  
throughout the United States and Canada, provided by a network of  
more than 5,000 participating Ford or Lincoln Mercury and Ford of  
Canada dealers.  
If you did not take advantage of the Ford Extended Service Plan at the  
time of purchasing your vehicle, you may still be eligible. Please contact  
your dealer for further information. Since this information is subject to  
change, please ask your dealer for complete details about Ford Extended  
Service Plan coverage options, or visit the Ford ESP website at
