Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company Ford Motor Company Ford Customer Service Division P. O. Box 1904 Dearborn, Michigan 48121 June 2022 Special Field Action 21L04 Mr. John Sample 123 Main Street Anywhere, USA 12345 Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567 It has come to our attention that a fuel filler door label for your vehicle, with the VIN shown above, may incorrectly indicate that E85 fuel may be used in your vehicle. We apologize for this inconvenience and want to correct this condition. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service and support. What is the issue? Malfunction Indicator Lamp On your vehicle, it may be possible that the fuel filler door incorrectly displays an E85 fuel label. The use of E85 fuel in vehicles not rated for E85 fuel may cause a lean condition along with a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (shown on the left). Continued driving with E85 fuel may lead to drivability symptoms including hard to start, rough idle, stalling, hesitation, surging, or lack of power. What will Ford and your dealer do? Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to perform a mobile or in dealership repair to remove the E85 fuel label from the fuel filler door free of charge (parts and labor). How long will it take? The time needed for this mobile or in dealership repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements for in dealership repair, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time. What should you do? Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for Special Service Action 21L04. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter. If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access ford.com/support for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions. Ford Motor Company wants you to have this service action completed on your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have the work completed. Ford Motor Company can deny coverage for any vehicle damage that may result from the failure to have this service action performed on a timely basis. Therefore, please have this service action performed as soon as possible. Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company What should you do?

Mobile Inspection (participating dealers) Upon customer request, Ford has authorized your local dealership to remove the E85 label from your vehicle’s fuel filler door at a time and location convenient for you.
