How long will I be covered under the Ford National Roadside Assistance and Auto Club Lifestyle Membership program?

When you first purchase your new Ford vehicle (Retail and Blue Fleet customers), you will receive Ford National Roadside Assistance and Auto Club Lifestyle Membership with your home State or Territory, from the date of first registration. We’ll then renew your cover for up to 12 months, each time you complete a Standard A or B Scheduled Service with a participating Ford Dealer, until your vehicle reaches 7 years of age.

Ford National Roadside Assistance and State Auto Club Lifestyle Membership will cease at the expiration of your 12 month coverage. If you miss a service or go longer than 12 months between services, your vehicle will not be covered for the period between expiration and when the vehicle is presented for service.

How long will it take for my State Auto Club Lifestyle Membership to be created?
