Ford ESP + Interior/Exterior lighting

[mdn14]

Good morning all,

I have a chipped rear taillight near where the tailgate closes on the back end of my truck (vertical seam). I called my dealer and they stated the ESP only covers manufacturer and workmanship defects. I asked if a rock put a hole in my front headlight, would it be covered? Answer, no. Is this correct? I don't think I would've purchased the add on had I known they would only be covered if they just happened to stop working... Shame on me for not reading the contract I guess.

Let me know, thanks!

Warranties do not cover physical damage on any component. If you high center the tranny on a boulder in Moab at 5k miles, no manufacturer will replace it for free. Warranties cover mechanical/electrical failures/defects.

Comprehensive coverage on your car insurance may cover headlight damage due to rocks.

as per the fine print in the ESP, it is for electrical failures

That would obviously be above and beyond what a warranty would cover. This chip could very well be a manufacturer defect as I don't recall anything ever hitting it.

Anyways, is this the correct part number to replace that tail light? LED with BLIS/BSM:
NL3Z-13405-F

So if you have buyer's remorse, read the contract now, especially article 12 (in a genuine Ford ESP) describing your right to cancel at any time and receive a pro-rated refund of your purchase price.

Even if not a Ford ESP, there's likely similar provisions somewhere in the contract.
