Belts and such are an iffy item. They can be considered "wear and tear".

That being said, pull out your extended warranty papers and look at it closely. A lot of times, these extended warranties won't cover belts or hoses. Many just cover physical mechanical and electronic parts. Ford has a few levels of extended warranty. Even then, you'd have to pay a specific deductible.

That being said, if you're on good terms with your dealer, they may do a "goodwill" repair. However, to pull that off, you really need to make a stink or have a lot of business with them (forcing the walking of your wallet).
