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.

If you have a service concern, call the Motorhome Customer Assistance Center (1-800-444-3311), which is available 24 hrs/day.
What the Board needs To have your case reviewed you must complete the application in the DSB brochure and mail it to the address provided on the application form. Your application is reviewed and, if it is determined to be eligible, you will receive an acknowledgment indicating: the file number assigned to your application the toll-free phone number of the DSBs independent administrator Your dealership and a Ford Motor Company representative are asked to submit statements at this time.
Oral presentations If the involved vehicle is within 36 months and 36,000 miles of the warranty start date, you have the right to make an oral presentation before the Board. Indicate your choice to do so on the application. Oral presentations may also be requested by Ford Motor Company. Making a decision Board members review all available information related to each complaint, including oral presentations, and arrive at a fair and impartial decision. Because the Board usually meets only once a month, some cases may take longer than 30 days to be reviewed. Every effort will be made to resolve each case within 40 days of receiving the consumers application form. After a case is reviewed, the Board mails you a decision letter and a form on which to accept or reject the Boards decision. The decisions of the Board are binding on the dealer, in most states, and Ford, but not on consumers who are free to pursue other remedies available to them under state or federal law. Board decisions may be presented as evidence
