Summary
Some 2022 Explorer/Aviator vehicles equipped with a 3.0L EcoBoost engine and built on 25-Jan-2022 and through 10-Mar-2022 may exhibit a buzz/vibration/rattle noise at engine idle or low revolutions per minute (RPM) underneath the vehicle near the left rear door. This may be due to the pressurized fuel delivery line contacting the body or the fuel tank creating a buzz/vibration/rattle noise. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to install foam tape.

- Fast, Effective Jamb Masking: Automotive Soft Edge Foam Aperture Masking Tape. 1/2 inch wide x 55 yards long (13mm x 50m) roll in a dispenser box. A premium three-dimensional foam tape that conforms smoothly to the contours of car and truck door jambs, hood openings, and trunk and deck lid openings on vehicles before painting.
- Superior Overspray & Contaminant Seal: The foam tape is applied into the gaps (apertures) between panels. When the door, hood, or deck lid is closed, the flexible foam compresses to seal the opening effectively. It protects the interior of the jamb from paint overspray and seals out dust and contaminants that could otherwise be blown into the wet paint during the painting process.
- Soft Edge Transition: Unlike traditional flat masking tape, which leaves a hard, sharp paint line, the foam structure allows the paint to feather or transition gradually into the foam. This creates a "soft" or "blended" paint edge, making the paint job look more professional and reducing the need for extensive compounding or buffing to hide hard tape lines.
- Foam Material: Flexible premium polyurethane foam that conforms easily to curves and unique contours. It features an adhesive that allows for repositioning before firm pressure is applied, making application easier. The tape withstands the heat of paint spray booth bake cycles.
- Dura-Gold Quality: Trust Dura-Gold for a complete line of professional-grade, high-quality automotive supplies that help you save time and achieve exceptional results.

- [Flexible variability]: It is soft and larger, larger than the common foam strips on the market. Random cutting has more flexible usability, no longer worrying about gaps that are too large to fill, waterproof and thermal insulation, ensuring comfort for families
- [100% EVA material]: Compared with silicone and EPDM materials on the market, silicone has higher density, better toughness, longer lifespan, and relatively strong temperature resistance. Raw materials are more expensive, ensuring quality while also being more aesthetically pleasing
- [Multiple application scenarios]: Doors/windows/ventilation openings/air conditioners/refrigerators/refrigerators/cars/RVs/table corners/sofa legs/trays/machine tools/garages, there are only places you can't think of, there are no places it can't use
- [Multi purpose]: sealing/anti-collision/shaking/anti friction/anti-collision/protecting table corners/floor mats/insulation/sound insulation/light blocking, super strong adhesion suitable for various places, replacing old sealing strips is also a good choice
