Certain 2021-2022 Model Year F-150 Vehicles Equipped with Crew Cab, 145โ Wheelbase,
4×4, One-Piece Aluminum Driveshaft, and MFAL BHDAA (Less Sound Insulation Packs)*
Loose/Sagging Underbody Insulators
*This corresponds to Equipment Packages XL & XLT 301A and below, and Tremor 400A.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
F-150 | 2021-2022 | Dearborn | January 22, 2020 through November 2, 2021 |
F-150 | 2021-2022 | Kansas City | June 1, 2020 through October 15, 2021 |
The eleventh VIN position is the assembly plant code.
- F – Dearborn Assembly (Dearborn, Michigan) = DTP
- K – Kansas City Assembly (Claycomo, Missouri) = KCAP
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, underbody insulators may have been installed in error. If installed, the underbody insulators may loosen and contact the aluminum driveshaft, resulting in marking or scoring of the driveshaft. Over time, the aluminum driveshaft may fracture, which can result in loss of motive power while driving, unintended vehicle movement while the vehicle is in park if the parking brake is not applied, and secondary damage to surrounding components. A fractured driveshaft may also contact the ground which may cause loss of control of the vehicle while driving. A fractured driveshaft increases the risk of injury or crash.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers will inspect if either the driver or passenger-side underbody insulator(s) are present. If either underbody insulator is present, the dealer will secure the underbody insulator(s) and inspect the driveshaft, fuel vapor lines and electrical connectors for damage and repair as required. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of September 5, 2022. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

Chronology :
May 2022
On May 26, 2022, Fordโs Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) initiated an investigation into reports of aluminum driveshaft fracture on F-150 Crew Cab units that were not included in Ford
Field Service Action (FSA) 21S56 (NHTSA Campaign Number 21V-986). The prior safety recall was approved in December 2021 to address potential aluminum driveshaft fracture resulting from underbody insulator contact on units designed and built with underbody insulators.
June โ July 2022
The CCRG investigation found that underbody insulators were installed in error on certain F-150 Crew Cab vehicles that were neither designed nor intended to be built with underbody insulators. The CCRG team reviewed records from the assembly plant and product designs to understand how vehicles could be manufactured with the unintended underbody insulators. The underbody insulators, which were installed in error, may experience the same issue of inadequate adhesion to the vehicle underbody as was addressed by FSA 21S56. This can result in loosening and sagging of the insulators, which may then contact the driveshaft.
Over time, contact of the sagging underbody insulator with the rotating aluminum driveshaft may result in material reduction and fracture of the aluminum driveshaft.
As of August 3, 2022, the team is aware of four (4) warranty reports in the United States for fractured aluminum driveshafts due to apparent underbody insulator contact on vehicles not intended to be equipped with the underbody insulators. The reports were received on November 10, 2021, May 12, 2022, May 24, 2022, and June 1, 2022.
On August 5, 2022, Fordโs Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

๏ Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company David J. Johnson Ford Motor Company Director P. O. Box 1904 Service Engineering Operations Dearborn, Michigan 48121 Ford Customer Service Division August 15, 2022 TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Safety Recall 22S53 Certain 2021-2022 Model Year F-150 Vehicles Equipped with Crew Cab, 145โ Wheelbase, 4×4, One-Piece Aluminum Driveshaft, and MFAL BHDAA (Less Sound Insulation Packs)* Loose/Sagging Underbody Insulators *This corresponds to Equipment Packages XL & XLT 301A and below, and Tremor 400A. AFFECTED VEHICLES Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates F-150 2021-2022 Dearborn January 22, 2020 through November 2, 2021 F-150 2021-2022 Kansas City June 1, 2020 through October 15, 2021 The eleventh VIN position is the assembly plant code. โข F – Dearborn Assembly (Dearborn, Michigan) = DTP โข K – Kansas City Assembly (Claycomo, Missouri) = KCAP Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles, underbody insulators may have been installed in error. If installed, the underbody insulators may loosen and contact the aluminum driveshaft, resulting in marking or scoring of the driveshaft. Over time, the aluminum driveshaft may fracture, which can result in loss of motive power while driving, unintended vehicle movement while the vehicle is in park if the parking brake is not applied, and secondary damage to surrounding components. A fractured driveshaft may also contact the ground which may cause loss of control of the vehicle while driving. A fractured driveshaft increases the risk of injury or crash. SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers will inspect if either the driver or passenger-side underbody insulator(s) are present. If either underbody insulator is present, the dealer will secure the underbody insulator(s) and inspect the driveshaft, fuel vapor lines and electrical connectors for damage and repair as required. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of September 5, 2022. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter. PLEASE NOTE: Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery. ๏ Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company ATTACHMENTS Attachment I: Administrative Information Attachment II: Labor Allowances and Parts Ordering Information Attachment III: Technical Information Owner Notification Letters Recall Reimbursement Plan QUESTIONS & ASSISTANCE For questions and assistance, contact the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) via the SSSC Web Contact Site.

NOTE: Your FSA VIN Lists may contain owner names and addresses obtained from motor vehicle registration records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than in connection with this recall is a violation of law in several states, provinces, and countries. Accordingly, you must limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this recall. SOLD VEHICLES ๏ท Ford has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this safety recall. Owners should contact their dealer for an appointment to have their vehicles remedied as soon as practicable.

Version 04-23-19 Ford Motor Company Recall Reimbursement Plan for 22S53 Ford and Lincoln
dealers are in the best position to quickly and efficiently process reimbursement requests. However, federal legislation requires all motor vehicle manufacturers to establish processes through which customers may seek recall reimbursement directly from the manufacturer or from the dealers. Regarding the specific reimbursement plan for Recall # 22S53, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to September 26, 2022. After this date, if repairs related to this recall are performed by a non-Ford repair facility in an emergency situation, customers must submit any refund requests through their dealership. As required by this federal regulation, Ford Motor Company submitted the details of its latest General Recall Reimbursement Plan in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in May 2021. The following is the text of that letter and the Plan: General Recall Reimbursement Plan (As submitted to the NHTSA) Pursuant to the requirements set forth in 49 CFR Part 573 and Part 577 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Ford Motor Company (Ford) is submitting required information pertaining to our general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners before they are notified of a related safety recall. Set forth below is Ford’s general plan to reimburse owners and purchasers for costs incurred for remedies in advance of notification of potential safely-related defects or noncomplianceโs pursuant to Part 573.6 (c)(8)(i). This plan has not changed since our February 20, 2019 submission. Reimbursement Notification Ford’s notice to a vehicle owner in accordance with 49 CFR Part 577 will indicate that Ford is offering a refund if the owner paid to have service to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to a specified ending date. In accordance with Part 573.13 (c)(2), this ending date will be defined as a minimum of ten calendar days after the date on which Ford mailed the last of its Part 577 notifications to owners, and will be indicated in the specific reimbursement plan available to owners for an individual recall. This notice will direct owners to seek eligible reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford at the following address: Ford Motor Company P.O. Box 6251 Dearborn, MI 48121-6251 Ford notes that this rule allows for the identification of a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility. Under the rule, an owner who paid to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to the identified beginning date would not be eligible for reimbursement. Ford generally has not established such a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility and does not presently anticipate changing this general policy. However, in any case where Ford determines a beginning date is appropriate, Ford will indicate that date in the owner notice. As permitted by 577.11(e), Ford may not include a reimbursement notification when all vehicles are well within the warranty period, subject to approval by the agency. Version 04-23-19 Costs to be Reimbursed For vehicles, reimbursement will not be less than the lesser of: ๏ท The amount paid by the owner for the remedy that specifically addressed and was reasonably necessary to correct the defect or noncompliance that is the subject of the recall, or ๏ท The cost of parts for the remedy (to be no more than the manufacturer’s list retail price for authorized part(s), plus associated labor at local labor rates, miscellaneous fees (such as disposal of waste) and taxes. For replacement equipment, reimbursement will be the amount paid by the owner for the replacement item (limited by the amount of the retail list price of the defective or noncompliant item that was replaced, plus taxes, where the brand or model purchased by the owner was different than the brand or model that was the subject of the recall). If the item of motor vehicle equipment was repaired, the reimbursement provisions identified above for vehicles will apply. Ford notes that costs incurred by the owner within the period during which Ford’s original or extended warranty would have provided for a free repair of the problem will not be eligible for reimbursement, as provided by Part 573.13 (d)(1). Entities Authorized to Provide Reimbursement Ford will continue to use authorized dealers to reimburse owners under the specific reimbursement plans for a particular recall, and will encourage owners to pursue requests for reimbursement directly through dealers to expedite reimbursement. Ford will also provide a mailing address to which customers can, at their option, send requests for reimbursement directly to Ford, as previously noted. Requests for reimbursement sent directly to Ford may take up to 60 days to process. Whether the owner chooses to pursue reimbursement requests through a dealer or directly through Ford, the owner will be directed to submit the required documentation, upon which reimbursement eligibility will be determined. Required Documentation The reimbursement determination will depend upon the information provided by the customer. Consistent with Part 573.13 (d)(4) the following information must be submitted: ๏ท Claimant name and address ๏ท Vehicle make, model, and model year ๏ท Vehicle identification number (VIN) and, for replacement equipment, a description of such equipment or, for tires, the model, size and TIN (DOT code) ๏ท Identification of the recall number (either the Ford recall number or the NHTSA recall number) ๏ท Identification of the owner of the recalled vehicle at the time that the pre-notification remedy was obtained ๏ท An original receipt for the pre-notification remedy that includes a breakdown of the amount for parts, labor, other costs and taxes, including costs for the replacement item. Where the receipt covers work other than to address the recall or noncompliance, Ford may require the claimant to separately identify costs that are eligible for reimbursement. ๏ท If the remedy was obtained during the warranty period, documentation indicating that the warranty was not honored or the warranty repair did not correct the problem related to the recall. Failure to submit all of the above information may result in denial of the reimbursement request. Version 04-23-19 Additional Information The Part 577 required owner notice will provide a toll-free telephone number through which specific information about the reimbursement plan can be requested from Ford. This general reimbursement plan will be incorporated into notifications pursuant to Part 573.6 by reference. Information specific to an individual recall also may be incorporated into the Part 573.6 notification.

OMB Control No.: 2127-0004 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-623 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Manufacturer Name : Ford Motor Company Submission Date : AUG 12, 2022 NHTSA Recall No. : 22V-623 Manufacturer Recall No. : 22S53 Manufacturer Information : Manufacturer Name : Ford Motor Company Address : 330 Town Center Drive Suite 500 Dearborn MI 48126-2738 Company phone : 1-866-436-7332 Population : Number of potentially involved : 58,203 Estimated percentage with defect : 3 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2021-2022 Ford F-150 Vehicle Type : LIGHT VEHICLES Body Style : 4-DOOR Power Train : NR Descriptive Information : Affected vehicles are 4×4 145โ wheelbase Crew Cab configurations with equipment packages XL and XLT 301A and below, and Tremor 400A that are equipped with an aluminum driveshaft. Underbody sound insulators may have been installed in error on these vehicles. These vehicles are not produced in VIN order. Information as to the applicability of this action to specific vehicles can best be obtained by either calling Fordโs toll-free line (1-866-436-7332) or by contacting a local Ford or Lincoln dealer who can obtain specific information regarding the vehicles from the Ford On-line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) database. 58,203 F-150 vehicles are affected. Production Dates : JAN 22, 2020 – NOV 20, 2021 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : Underbody thermal/acoustic insulators may loosen and contact the aluminum driveshaft, resulting in marking or scoring of the driveshaft. Over time, the aluminum driveshaft may fracture due to a localized overload condition caused by material thickness reduction. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : A fractured driveshaft may result in loss of motive power while Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-623 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Description of the Safety Risk : driving, unintended vehicle movement while the vehicle is in park if the parking brake is not applied, and secondary damage to surrounding components. A fractured driveshaft may also contact the ground which may cause loss of control of the vehicle while driving. A fractured driveshaft increases the risk of injury or crash. Description of the Cause : Underbody sound insulators may have been installed in error on these vehicles. If installed, inadequate adhesion of the insulators to the vehicle underbody results in loosening and sagging of the insulators. The vehicles in this recall population were neither designed nor intended to be built with underbody insulators and were therefore not within the scope of prior recall 21V-986. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : Vehicle operators may observe a loose underbody insulator, or may hear a rattling, clicking or clunking noise due to a loose underbody insulator contacting the driveshaft. Marking or scoring of the driveshaft may be visible in the area of underbody insulator contact. Involved Components : Component Name 1 : Underbody Insulator – Driver Side Component Description : Underbody Acoustic Insulator – Driver Side Component Part Number : ML3B-1611205-AC Component Name 2 : Underbody Insulator – Driver Side Component Description : Underbody Acoustic Insulator – Driver Side Component Part Number : ML3B-1611205-BA Component Name 3 : Underbody Insulator – Passenger Side Component Description : Underbody Thermal/Acoustic Insulator – Passenger Side Component Part Number : ML3B-1611204-AD Component Name 4 : Underbody Insulator – Passenger Side Component Description : Underbody Thermal/Acoustic Insulator – Passenger Side Component Part Number : ML3B-1611204-BB Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-623 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Ford Motor Company Address : One American Road Dearborn Michigan 48126 Country : United States Chronology : May 2022 On May 26, 2022, Fordโs Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) initiated an investigation into reports of aluminum driveshaft fracture on F-150 Crew Cab units that were not included in Ford Field Service Action (FSA) 21S56 (NHTSA Campaign Number 21V-986). The prior safety recall was approved in December 2021 to address potential aluminum driveshaft fracture resulting from underbody insulator contact on units designed and built with underbody insulators. June โ July 2022 The CCRG investigation found that underbody insulators were installed in error on certain F-150 Crew Cab vehicles that were neither designed nor intended to be built with underbody insulators. The CCRG team reviewed records from the assembly plant and product designs to understand how vehicles could be manufactured with the unintended underbody insulators. The underbody insulators, which were installed in error, may experience the same issue of inadequate adhesion to the vehicle underbody as was addressed by FSA 21S56. This can result in loosening and sagging of the insulators, which may then contact the driveshaft. Over time, contact of the sagging underbody insulator with the rotating aluminum driveshaft may result in material reduction and fracture of the aluminum driveshaft. As of August 3, 2022, the team is aware of four (4) warranty reports in the United States for fractured aluminum driveshafts due to apparent underbody insulator contact on vehicles not intended to be equipped with the underbody insulators. The reports were received on November 10, 2021, May 12, 2022, May 24, 2022, and June 1, 2022. On August 5, 2022, Fordโs Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action. Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-623 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer for an inspection to determine if underbody insulators are installed. If installed, dealers will securely fasten the underbody insulators and inspect the driveshaft for damage and repair as required. There will be no charge for this service. Ford provided the general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners prior to notification of a safety recall in May 2021. The ending date for reimbursement eligibility is estimated to be September 26, 2022. Ford will forward a copy of the notification letters to dealers to the agency when available. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The underbody insulators (ML3B-1611205-AC, ML3B-1611205-BA, ML3B-1611204-AD, ML3B-1611204-BB) will be properly attached to the vehicle. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The passenger side underbody thermal-acoustic insulator was removed from production and replaced with an under-carpet thermal patch on October 16, 2021, at Dearborn Truck Plant (DTP) and October 20, 2021, at Kansas City Assembly Plant (KCAP). The driver side underbody acoustic insulator was removed from production at DTP and KCAP on November 19, 2021. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Notification to dealers is expected to occur on August 15, 2022. Mailing of owner notification letters is expected to begin September 5, 2022 and is expected to be completed by September 9, 2022. Planned Dealer Notification Date : AUG 15, 2022 – AUG 15, 2022 Planned Owner Notification Date : SEP 05, 2022 – SEP 09, 2022 * NR – Not Reported
