  description: 'Best-effort OpenAPI 3.1 description of the FordConnect API, derived from

    the public developer page at https://developer.ford.com/apis/fordconnect

    and the public FordConnect simulator at

    https://github.com/jamisonderek/ford-connect-sim. The FordConnect API

    allows authorized partners to send vehicle commands (lock, unlock, start,

    stop, charge) and retrieve vehicle status and information for enrolled

    Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with an

    authorization-code grant; access tokens are passed as `Authorization:

    Bearer` headers.
