In addition, under the credit enhancement structure, the securities are able to withstand stress scenarios consistent with the updated ratings and make full payments to investors in accordance with the terms of the documents.

The ratings reflect the quality of Ford Motor Credit Company's retail auto loan originations, the strength of its servicing capabilities, and the sound financial and legal structure of the transaction.
