The detected change involves two separate text snippets in Ford's Terms and Conditions page. The first snippet duplicates language about promotional offers, stating 'Must place a new retail order or take new retail delivery from an authorized Ford or Lincoln Dealer's stock by 7/6/26. See dealer for details.' The second snippet is about off-road driving safety, stating 'Always consult the Owner's Manual before off-road driving, know your terrain and trail difficulty, and use appropriate safety gear.' These appear to be boilerplate or promotional language within the terms document rather than substantive changes to Ford's core contractual obligations.

What this means for you

The updated terms clarify promotional deadlines requiring customers to place new retail orders or take delivery by July 6, 2026, and repeat existing safety guidance for off-road driving. These additions appear to be standard promotional and safety disclosures rather than material changes to core contractual obligations. No specific consumer action is required beyond existing compliance with promotional timelines.
