When should Ford vehicle cambelts be replaced?

As with other parts of Ford vehicles, regular checks and maintenance are required on Cambelts and Timing belts.

The timing belt is a critical component in your engine that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. 

Cambelt maintenance is vital for several reasons:

• Prevents Engine Damage
• Maintains Engine Performance
• Ensures Reliability
• Avoids Unexpected Breakdowns

When Should You Replace It?

The golden rule: check your owner's manual and you can find out the maintenance schedule and what each service may entail for your vehicle via your Ford Account or FordPass. See How do I View my Ford Vehicle Service Intervals?.

Ford recommends:

• cambelt replacement at 6yr/100k miles/160.000 Km, whichever comes first
• chain drives replacement at 10yr/150k miles/240.000 Km, whichever comes first

Should you have any difficulties generating a service schedule, or if you have any further questions, contact your local Ford Dealer.
