As part of that commitment, we have pre-selected your vehicle to replace the driver airbag module free of charge for a limited time as part of an important safety research study. Ford understands that supporting this effort can be an inconvenience but asks that you contribute to this important effort at your earliest convenience. Your participation will help gather information and ensure your safety and the safety of others. This is not a safety recall. We are collecting these parts to confirm their performance after being in service in your vehicle for many years. Why are you receiving this notice? This program is a proactive effort to gather certain airbag modules manufactured by Takata for research. Ford Motor Company is voluntarily conducting this program to obtain field parts from certain geographic locations and vehicle models for testing and evaluation. This program will expire without notice once sufficient parts have been gathered to complete the required research. What will Ford and your dealer do? For the purposes of this research program, Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to remove the driver airbag module from your vehicle and replace it with a new airbag module free of charge. The new replacement module being installed has an updated design, but the function, performance, and appearance of the airbag is identical to the original one. How long will it take? The time needed to exchange your old inflator for a new one is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time. You can minimize any inconvenience by contacting your dealer and making specific arrangements in advance. © Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company What should you do?

EXCESS STOCK RETURN Excess stock returned for credit must have been purchased from Ford Customer Service Division in accordance with Policy Procedure Bulletin 4000. 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 July, 2023 Customer Satisfaction Program 21B71 Mr. John Sample 123 Main Street Anywhere, USA 12345 Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567 At Ford Motor Company, we are committed to building high quality, safe, and dependable products. As part of that commitment, we have pre-selected your vehicle to replace the driver airbag module free of charge for a limited time as part of an important safety research study. Ford understands that supporting this effort can be an inconvenience but asks that you contribute to this important effort at your earliest convenience. Your participation will help gather information and ensure your safety and the safety of others. This is not a safety recall. We are collecting these parts to confirm their performance after being in service in your vehicle for many years. Why are you receiving this notice? This program is a proactive effort to gather certain airbag modules manufactured by Takata for research. Ford Motor Company is voluntarily conducting this program to obtain field parts from certain geographic locations and vehicle models for testing and evaluation. This program will expire without notice once sufficient parts have been gathered to complete the required research. What will Ford and your dealer do? For the purposes of this research program, Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to remove the driver airbag module from your vehicle and replace it with a new airbag module free of charge. The new replacement module being installed has an updated design, but the function, performance, and appearance of the airbag is identical to the original one. How long will it take? The time needed to exchange your old inflator for a new one is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time. You can minimize any inconvenience by contacting your dealer and making specific arrangements in advance. Ó Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company What should you do? Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for Customer Satisfaction Program 21B71. 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. 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. This includes specific procedures for cleaning and disinfecting customer vehicles before and after each vehicle is serviced. In most places, vehicle service has been deemed a critical service. Please contact your local dealer to confirm current service hours. For more information on how Ford and your local dealer are working hard to keep you on the road during these challenging times, please visit ford.com/support. What if you no longer own this vehicle? If you no longer own this vehicle, and have an address for the current owner, please forward this letter to the new owner. You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner. Can we assist you further?
