  title: API Evangelist enhancements for the FordConnect description
  version: 1.0.0
x-generated: '2026-09-10'
x-method: generated
x-source: >-
  Live probes of Ford's FordConnect hosts on 2026-09-10, Ford's own OpenID Connect discovery
  document, and Ford's published data categories at https://developer.ford.com/assets/i18n/en.json
x-extends: openapi/_original/ford-openapi.yml
x-note: >-
  This overlay never mutates the underlying description. It records what API Evangelist established
  by probing, on top of a document that is itself a best-effort third-party description
  (x-generated-from: documentation) rather than a Ford contract.

      observed_live_evidence: >-
        /api/fordconnect/vehicleinfo/v3/vehicles returned 401 unauthenticated; the host is named in
        Ford's own fordconnect.cv.ford.com account-linking bundle
      observed_live_note: >-
        The live host serves a v3 vehicleinfo shape, not the v1 shape this description carries.
        servers[] is deliberately NOT rewritten — the declared base is what Ford documented, and the
        divergence is the finding.
