Exclamation Re: 2007 & 2008 Escape Hybrid "Sourcebook"

I noticed this once before, and now again in the 2007 guide ( which is largely the same as 2005's )

"•eCVT and DC/DC Converter Warranty — These unique
hybrid components will be covered for 8 years/100,000
miles in California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont
• High-voltage battery warranty coverage is 10 years/
150,000 miles in California, Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and
Vermont (8 years/100,000 miles in all other states)"

In 2005, all cars had the eCVT, DC/DC Converter, and High Voltage Battery covered for 8 years/100,000 miles.

In 2005, all cars had all 3 items covered for 10yrs/150,000 miles in CA, CT,ME,MA,NJ,NY,RI,VT.

Did this really change to cover just the battery? Or is this a typo in the guide?

For 2008 it says:
"• Under the Unique Component Warranty, Ford provides
coverage for 8 years or 100,000 miles (whichever occurs
first) for the high-voltage battery, electronically controlled
continuously variable transmission and the DC/DC converter"

Cars sold and registered in one of the 8 "green" states get 10/150,000 on the battery only.
