Safety Recall Notice 23S06 / NHTSA Recall 23V070
2023 F-150 Ford Truck
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Ford Motor Company has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in your vehicle, with the VIN shown above.
We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will 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? On your vehicle, there may be a loose (extra) bolt inside the transmission assembly. What is the risk? A loose bolt inside the transmission could prevent the transmission from achieving park by blocking the park pawl from engaging the park gear, although the gear shifter position may indicate that the vehicle has been shifted to “PARK.” Loss of the ability to secure the park pawl could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. What will Ford and your dealer do? Ford Motor Company is working closely with its suppliers to produce parts for this repair. When parts become available, Ford Motor Company will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer for repairs to be completed free of charge (parts and labor). Parts are anticipated to be available in the second quarter of 2023. What should you do? When parts are available, Ford Motor Company will send a letter to inform you that parts are available and to contact your dealer to schedule a repair. In the interim, if you experience a grinding noise coming from your transmission or difficulties shifting into the Park position, please contact your dealer immediately.
Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety recall. When parts are available, you should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable. What should you do (continued)?
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access ford.com/support for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
If you are still having difficulty getting your vehicle repaired in a reasonable time or without charge, you may write the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590 or call the toll free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236
(TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or go to NHTSA.gov. Reference NHTSA Safety Recall 23V070.
Please note: Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days.
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. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Ford Customer Service Division 2 of 4

Número de identificación del vehículo (VIN):
Este aviso se le envía de acuerdo con la Ley Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito y Vehículos Motorizados de los EE. UU.
Ford Motor Company ha determinado que existe un defecto relacionado con la seguridad de su vehículo, con el VIN que aparece más arriba.
Lamentamos esta situación y deseamos asegurarle que, con su ayuda, corregiremos el problema. Nuestro compromiso, junto con el de su distribuidor, es ofrecerle servicio y apoyo de alto nivel. ¿Cuál es el problema? Es posible que haya un tornillo flojo (adicional) en el interior del ensamble de la transmisión de su vehículo. ¿Qué riesgo existe? Un tornillo flojo en el interior de la transmisión podría impedir que la transmisión logre el estacionamiento al bloquear el trinquete de estacionamiento y no dejar que el engrane se acople en estacionamiento, a pesar de que la posición del cambiador de velocidades podría indicar que el vehículo ha sido cambiado a “ESTACIONAMIENTO”. La pérdida de la capacidad de asegurar el trinquete de estacionamiento podría generar un movimiento no intencionado del vehículo, lo cual aumenta el riesgo de choque o de sufrir lesiones. ¿Qué medidas adoptarán Ford y su distribuidor? Ford Motor Company colabora estrechamente con sus proveedores para fabricar las piezas para esta reparación. Cuando estas estén disponibles, Ford Motor Company le avisará mediante correo para programar una cita de servicio con su distribuidor y así realizar las reparaciones sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra). Se prevé que las piezas estarán disponibles en el segundo trimestre de 2023. 3 of 4 ¿Qué debe hacer? Cuando las piezas estén disponibles, Ford Motor Company le enviará una carta para informarle la disponibilidad de estas y solicitarle que se comunique con su distribuidor a fin de programar la reparación. En el intertanto, si experimenta un ruido de lijado proveniente de su transmisión o dificultades al cambiar a la posición de Estacionamiento, comuníquese de inmediato con su distribuidor.

Aviso de Campaña 23S06 / Campaña 23V070 de la NHTSA 2023 Bronco
Número de identificación del vehículo (VIN):
Este aviso se le envía de acuerdo con la Ley Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito y Vehículos Motorizados de los EE. UU.
Ford Motor Company ha determinado que existe un defecto relacionado con la seguridad de su vehículo, con el VIN que aparece más arriba.
Lamentamos esta situación y deseamos asegurarle que, con su ayuda, corregiremos el problema. Nuestro compromiso, junto con el de su distribuidor, es ofrecerle servicio y apoyo de alto nivel. ¿Cuál es el problema? Es posible que haya un tornillo flojo (adicional) en el interior del ensamble de la transmisión de su vehículo. ¿Qué riesgo existe? Un tornillo flojo en el interior de la transmisión podría impedir que la transmisión logre el estacionamiento al bloquear el trinquete de estacionamiento y no dejar que el engrane se acople en estacionamiento, a pesar de que la posición del cambiador de velocidades podría indicar que el vehículo ha sido cambiado a “ESTACIONAMIENTO”. La pérdida de la capacidad de asegurar el trinquete de estacionamiento podría generar un movimiento no intencionado del vehículo, lo cual aumenta el riesgo de choque o de sufrir lesiones. ¿Qué medidas adoptarán Ford y su distribuidor? ¿Cuánto tiempo tomará? Las piezas para reparar su vehículo ya se encuentran disponibles. Ford Motor Company ha autorizado a su distribuidor a inspeccionar su transmisión y a reemplazarla si se encontrara un tornillo, sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra). El tiempo necesario para esta inspección será menos de medio día. Sin embargo, debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su distribuidor tarde un poco más. Además, se realizará una inspección del vehículo para determinar si se deben pedir piezas. Se requerirá tiempo adicional si es necesario reemplazar la transmisión. 3 of 4 ¿Qué debe hacer? Llame a su distribuidor lo antes posible y solicite una cita de servicio para llevar a cabo la Campaña 23S06. Proporcione el VIN a su distribuidor, el cual está impreso debajo de sus datos al comienzo de esta carta.

¿Qué debe hacer? (continuación) ¿Necesita un vehículo de alquiler? ¿Qué pasa si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo? ¿Podemos hacer algo más por usted?
Para esta campaña de seguridad, Ford no ha emitido instrucciones de no manejar el vehículo. Deberá ponerse en contacto con su distribuidor a fin de programar una cita para solucionar este problema lo más pronto posible.
Si aún no tiene un distribuidor para realizar el servicio, puede acceder a ford.com/support para conocer las direcciones de los distribuidores, ver mapas y obtener las instrucciones para llegar.
Ford Motor Company le recomienda realizar esta campaña de seguridad en su vehículo. El propietario del vehículo es responsable de realizar los arreglos para llevar a cabo el trabajo.
Tenga presente que: La ley federal exige que los arrendadores de vehículos que reciban este aviso de campaña envíen una copia del mismo al arrendatario en un plazo de diez días. Si su distribuidor determina que es necesario efectuar el reemplazo de la transmisión y el vehículo debe permanecer en las instalaciones durante la noche, el distribuidor está autorizado a ofrecerle un vehículo de alquiler para su transporte personal sin costo (excepto combustible y seguro) mientras su vehículo se encuentre en reparación. Comuníquese con su distribuidor para conocer las pautas y limitaciones. Si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo y tiene la dirección del propietario actual, le solicitamos que le reenvíe esta carta.
Usted recibió este aviso porque las regulaciones del gobierno exigen el envío de notificaciones al propietario conocido más reciente del registro. Nuestros registros se basan principalmente en datos estatales y de propiedad, que indican que usted es el propietario actual del vehículo. Si tiene problemas para reparar de inmediato su vehículo y sin costo alguno, comuníquese con el Gerente de Servicio de su distribuidor para solicitar ayuda.

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, the transmission may contain a loose (extra) bolt introduced during the transmission assembly process quality review. A loose bolt inside the transmission could prevent the transmission from achieving park by blocking the park pawl from engaging the park gear, although the gear shifter position may indicate that the vehicle has been shifted to “PARK.” Loss of the ability to secure the park pawl could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
SERVICE ACTION
DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this safety recall. A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers in the second quarter of 2023, when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this safety recall.
IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is published. Opening an RO against an Awareness or Advance Notice will result in warranty rejections against a recall.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of record will be notified via first-class mail after repair instructions and parts ordering
information have been provided to dealers. © Copyright 2023 Ford Motor Company
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $26,315 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory prior to delivery.
DEALER-OPERATED RENTAL VEHICLES
The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act law effective June 2016 prohibits a rental company from selling, renting or leasing vehicles subject to a safety or compliance recall. Please consult your legal counsel for legal advice.

Country : United States Chronology :
January 2023:
On January 13, 2023, Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) initiated an investigation into reports of unintended movement of two 2023 model year Bronco vehicles at the vehicle assembly plant. On January 11, 2023, assembly plant personnel reported that the two vehicles rolled forward with the gear selector in the park position. On January 12, 2023, the transmissions from the two vehicles were inspected and a loose (extra) bolt was found inside each transmission, preventing the park pawl from engaging the parking gear. The CCRG investigation identified one (1) related warranty report from December 30, 2022. In that report, the customer brought their 2022 model year Ford Explorer to the dealership for transmission-related failures. The vehicle had 29 miles on the odometer. The dealer found a loose bolt inside the transmission. The CCRG investigation further determined that all transmissions with a loose bolt had been subject to a repair process at the transmission assembly plant. Ford Engineering conducted vehicle tests to determine the effects of a loose bolt in the transmission. Additionally, Ford Engineering inspected quarantined transmissions and vehicles to identify the rate of occurrence and the correct build date range. Ford is aware of one warranty claim, received December 30, 2022. On February 3rd, 2023, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action. Ford is not aware of any reports of accidentsor injury related to this condition. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-070

January 2023:
On January 13, 2023, Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) initiated an investigation into reports of unintended movement of two 2023 model year Bronco vehicles at the vehicle assembly plant. On January 11, 2023, assembly plant personnel reported that the two vehicles rolled forward with the gear selector in the park position. On January 12, 2023, the transmissions from the two vehicles were inspected and a loose (extra) bolt was found inside each transmission, preventing the park pawl from engaging the parking gear. The CCRG investigation identified one (1) related warranty report from December 30, 2022. In that report, the customer brought their 2022 model year Ford Explorer to the dealership for transmission-related failures. The vehicle had 29 miles on the odometer. The dealer found a loose bolt inside the transmission. The CCRG investigation further determined that all transmissions with a loose bolt had been subject to a repair process at the transmission assembly plant. Ford Engineering conducted vehicle tests to determine the effects of a loose bolt in the transmission. Additionally, Ford Engineering inspected quarantined transmissions and vehicles to identify the rate of occurrence and the correct build date range. Ford is aware of one warranty claim, received December 30, 2022. On February 3rd, 2023, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action. Ford is not aware of any reports of accidentsor injury related to this condition. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-070
