REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF Effective March 1st 2021 all parts replaced as part of an FSA repair with a repair order open date of March 1st 2021 or later must be inspected and signed off on the repair order by a member of your dealers fixed operations management team or an employee the task has been delegated to. If the task is to be delegated to a non-management employee, the employee needs to be someone other than the technician who completed the repair and needs to understand the importance of completing this task consistently and accurately. • All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies. • Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed. • If the FSA repair is found to be complete, the designated employee signs the repair order line or parts return stamp area (electronic or hand signed) for the FSA repair indicating the parts were inspected and validated to have been replaced. • After the parts have been inspected, they should be handled based on the guidance in the parts status report in the Online Warranty System (Hold, Return, CORE, Scrap, etc.). • This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order open date of March 1st 2021 or later. Any eligible FSA claims requiring parts replacement, found not to have been inspected and signed off during a warranty audit will be subject to chargeback and consideration for enrollment into the Dealer Incomplete Recall Repair Process. Note: Other approvals (electronic or handwritten) for add-on repair lines, dealer owned vehicle repairs, and repeat repairs do not qualify as FSA parts inspection approvals. The post repair FSA parts inspection process (electronic or handwritten) is independent from other warranty approval requirements. The approval by the designated employee implies that the FSA parts were found to be replaced and must be able to be clearly identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSA’s require approval on a single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post repair approval by the designated employee.

Box 1904 Dearborn, Michigan 48121 Customer Satisfaction Program 21M04 Mr. John Sample 123 Main Street Anywhere, USA 12345 April 2022 Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567 At Ford Motor Company, we are committed not only to building high quality, dependable products but also to building a community of happy, satisfied customers. To demonstrate that commitment, we are providing a no-charge Customer Satisfaction Program for your vehicle with the VIN shown above. Why are you receiving this notice? Ford Motor Company is offering a customer satisfaction program on your vehicle’s exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler. The EGR cooler on your vehicle may become plugged with soot or hydrocarbons at high mileage. What is the effect? Malfunction Indicator Lamp This customer satisfaction program is available for a total of 11 years or 120,000 miles from the warranty start date on your vehicle, whichever occurs first. NOTE: Your vehicle may experience an illuminated malfunction indicator light (icon shown to the left) due to the EGR cooler becoming plugged with soot or hydrocarbons at high mileage. This may result in a reduction of power. If your vehicle has already exceeded either time or mileage limits listed above, this customer satisfaction program is still eligible up through April 30, 2023. Customer satisfaction program eligibility is automatically transferred to subsequent owners. What will Ford and your dealer do? If your vehicle’s EGR cooler requires replacement due to an illuminated malfunction indicator light with specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTC’s) stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) and your vehicle is within the indicated time/mileage limitations, Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to replace the EGR cooler free of charge (parts and labor). How long will it take? If the component mentioned above requires replacement, the time needed for this repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time. Additional time may be required to allow the engine to cool prior to performing this repair. In addition, your vehicle will require an inspection to determine if parts need to be ordered. Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company What should you do? You do not need to return to your dealer for this repair unless you have an illuminated malfunction indicator light. Please keep this letter as a reminder of the repair offer for your EGR cooler. If the EGR cooler requires replacement, and your vehicle is within the indicated time/mileage limitations, contact your dealer to schedule a service appointment. Provide the dealer with the VIN of your vehicle to schedule a service appointment for Customer Satisfaction Program 21M04. The VIN is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter. Your dealer will replace the part at no charge. If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access owner.ford.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions. NOTE: You can receive information about Recalls and Customer Satisfaction Programs through our FordPass App. The app can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play. In addition, there are other features such as reserving parking in certain locations and controlling certain functions on your vehicle (lock or unlock doors, remote start) if it is equipped to allow control. COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) Ford dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both your safety and the safety of dealership employees.
