[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 916642, member: 52972"] Jerry, L1Tech may be right, and maybe not. There is a Federal warranty on Emmision control equipment on all new vehicles that is good for 8 years. The problem with this warranty is that the car manufacturers get to pick what parts they will cover and which they will not. The only way you will know is to get the part number for the catalytic converter and go to your Ford dealers parts department and see if the cat part number is declared by Ford as a Federally Warranteed Emission part. I have heard that some Ford dealerships will not show you the part numbers on the Federal Warranty list unless they are on the invoice for the repairs. That means you have Ford replace the Cats, pay them, and then you can see if it's covered under the Federal emmissions warranty. If it is covered, they will refund the parts and labor for that portion of the repair. If it is you should be able to get it replaced free as long as the vehicles is not more than 8 years old, and you have less than 80K miles. It's pretty hard to have a car that long with less than 80K miles. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
