2015 Edge – Water Sloshing Noise In The Interior Lower Cowl Trim Panel And/Or A Water Leak Into The Floorboard – Built On/Or Before 4/27/2015

2015 Edges built on or before 4/27/2015 can exhibit water on the driver and/or front passenger side floor.

Inspect for moisture by placing a hand under the carpet below the climate control ducts under both front seats.

For best access, the seats can be moved to the full forward position.

If moisture is noted, dry or replace components as needed.

Water may enter the vehicle at the a-pillar seam in the hood hinge mount pocket area on the driver and/or passenger side.

Inspect the body seam located behind the hood hinge where the fender, hood, and a-pillar meet for missing seam sealer.
