x-generated-note: Written by API Evangelist from Ford's public developer page and the public FordConnect simulator, as info.description already states. Ford does not publish an OpenAPI. This is a best-effort third-party description, not a Ford contract, and every artifact derived from it inherits that provenance. Marked 2026-09-10 so automated readers see what the prose says.
