AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| F-150 Limited | 2023 | Dearborn | December 1, 2022, through December 9, 2022 |
| F-150 Platinum | 2023 | Dearborn | November 29, 2022, through January 11, 2023 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
Note: Some vehicles may be in the process of being repaired at the plant. Monitor OASIS before opening an RO and/or beginning a repair. Parts purchased for an FSA can be returned for credit, if required. See the EXCESS STOCK RETURN details in Attachment II for more information.
REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
Some of the affected vehicles may not conform to the requirements specified by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 Occupant Crash Protection. These vehicles may have been built with a passenger-side instrument panel (IP) cover with either an injection molded substrate that was manufactured with contaminated resin or with a skin extruded with contaminated colorant material. Non-conforming instrument panel cover components may alter the intended passenger airbag cushion opening and inflation characteristics. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger airbag, the airbag may not deploy as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to replace the passenger instrument panel cover. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
Note: Passenger instrument panel cover parts are available for both Limited and Platinum series trim packages. Refer to Attachment IV for Affected Vehicles โ VIN List for Limited trim level vehicles.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of March 20, 2023. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether the customer has received a letter or not.
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 before delivery.
SOLD VEHICLES
- Ford has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this compliance recall. Owners should contact their dealership for an appointment to have their vehicles remedied as soon as practicable.
- Immediately contact any of your affected customers whose vehicles are not on your VIN list but are identified in OASIS. Give the customer a copy of the Owner Notification Letter (when available) and schedule a service date.
- Correct other affected vehicles identified in OASIS which are brought to your dealership.
- Dealers are to prioritize repairs of customer vehicles over repairs of new and used vehicle inventory.
STOCK VEHICLES
- Correct all affected units in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
- Use OASIS to identify any affected vehicles in your used vehicle inventory.
DEALER-OPERATED RENTAL VEHICLES
The Fixing Americaโs 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.
TITLE BRANDED / SALVAGED VEHICLES
Affected title-branded and salvaged vehicles are eligible for this recall.
OWNER REFUNDS
- This safety recall must still be performed, even if the owner has paid for a previous repair. Claiming a refund will not close the recall on the vehicle.
- Ford Motor Company is offering a refund for owner-paid repairs covered by this recall if the repair was performed before the date indicated in the reimbursement plan, which is posted with this bulletin. Owners are directed to seek reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford Motor Company at P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, MI 481216251.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) Recall No. 23C01 Chronology
Chronology of Noncompliance Determination: Ford 23C01
Date of Submission: February 10, 2023
December 2022
On December 10, 2022, Fordโs Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) initiated an investigation into a report identified by the instrument panel (IP) topper supplier of a failed weld between the right-hand IP topper substrate and the passenger airbag chute. The supplier discovered the failed weld on December 7, 2022, during routine weld pull testing conducted as part of the supplierโs Lot Acceptance Testing (LAT) of parts for 2023 model year F-150 Limited series vehicles. The supplier notified Ford of the concern on December 9, 2022.
Fordโs initial review of supplier process and maintenance records found that test samples from a material lot produced on November 14, 2022, performed below the minimum specification for weld pull testing. A further review as part of the CCRG investigation identified that purge operations were not completed when the suspect parts were injection molded on November 14, 2022. Incomplete purging of the prior molding material could introduce contaminants and may result in IP topper substrate delamination. Work continued into January 2023 to determine the type of contaminant(s) that was introduced and to review the supplierโs process and purge logs.
January 2023
On January 5, 2023, Ford received a report identified by the IP topper supplier of a tear seam opening force above the requirement specification during routine drop tower testing of the passenger airbag door on parts intended for 2023 model year F-150 Platinum series vehicles. The CCRG initiated an additional investigation, which determined that the extrusion material for the instrument panel topper skin did not meet material specifications. The extrusion material was potentially contaminated with colorant from a different job at the supplier facility. The contaminant resulted in out of specification tear seam opening force of the Passenger Airbag door.
During the month of January, the CCRG reviewed the material testing results and analyses conducted by the supplier that determined that the substate material was contaminated with polycarbonate acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (PC-ABS), which could result in substrate delamination. CCRG also reviewed the results of Fordโs internal testing that determined that the IP Topper skin had low laser score additive (LSA) content, which could result in passenger airbag door tear seam opening force above the requirement specification.
Based on weld pull and drop tower test results and engineering judgment, Ford Engineering determined that the suspect vehicles may not meet a F/CMVSS No. 208 compliance test if they were to be tested.
Ford is not aware of any warranty or field reports related to this condition.
On February 3, 2023, Fordโs Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

Compliance Recall Notice 23C01 / NHTSA Recall 23V072 2023 F-150 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 your vehicle, with the VIN shown above, fails to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 Occupant Crash Protection.
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? The passenger side instrument panel cover on your vehicle, which is located on the dashboard and houses the airbag, may interfere with the intended passenger airbag cushion opening and alter that airbagโs inflation characteristics. What is the risk? A malfunctioning passenger-side instrument panel cover may prevent the airbag from properly deploying, which could increase the risk of injury to the front passenger occupant in a crash. What will Ford and your dealer do? Parts are now available to repair your vehicle. Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to replace the passenger airbag cover free of charge (parts and labor). How long will it take? The time needed for this repair is less than half a day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time.
What should you do? Please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall 23C01. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter.
Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this compliance recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable.
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 compliance recall completed on your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have the work completed. Ford Motor Company can deny coverage for any vehicle damage that may result from the failure to have this recall performed on a timely basis. Therefore, please have this recall performed as soon as possible.
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.

2023 Assembly Plant Dearborn Dearborn Build Dates December 1, 2022, through December 9, 2022
November 29, 2022, through January 11, 2023 Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
Note: Some vehicles may be in the process of being repaired at the plant. Monitor OASIS before opening an RO and/or beginning a repair. Parts purchased for an FSA can be returned for credit, if required. See the EXCESS STOCK RETURN details in Attachment II for more information.
REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
Some of the affected vehicles may not conform to the requirements specified by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 Occupant Crash Protection. These vehicles may have been built with a passenger-side instrument panel (IP) cover with either an injection molded substrate that was manufactured with contaminated resin or with a skin extruded with contaminated colorant material. Non-conforming instrument panel cover components may alter the intended passenger airbag cushion opening and inflation characteristics. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment
of the passenger airbag, the airbag may not deploy as intended, increasing the risk of injury. New! SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to replace the passenger instrument panel cover. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
Note: Passenger instrument panel cover parts are available for both Limited and Platinum series trim packages. Refer to Attachment IV for Affected Vehicles โ VIN List for Limited trim level vehicles.
New! OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of March 20, 2023. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether the customer has received a letter or not.
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 before delivery. ATTACHMENTS

Page 2 of 2 REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF
Effective March 1หขแต, 2021, all parts replaced as part of an FSA repair with a repair order open date of March 1หขแต, 2021, or later must be inspected and signed off on the repair order by a member of your dealer 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.
โข All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies.
โข Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed.
โข 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.
โข 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.).
โข This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order open date of March 1หขแต, 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 of 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 identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSAs require approval on a single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post-repair approval by the designated employee. ยฉ Copyright 2023 Ford Motor Company ATTACHMENT III PAGE 1 OF 13

Recall Reimbursement Plan for 23C01 Ford and Lincoln dealers are in the best position to quickly and efficiently process reimbursement requests. However, federal legislation requires all motor vehicle manufacturers to establish processes through which customers may seek recall reimbursement directly from the manufacturer or the dealers. Regarding the specific reimbursement plan for Recall # 23C01, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed before April 21, 2023.
After this date, if repairs related to this recall are performed by a non-Ford repair facility in an emergency, customers must submit any refund requests through their dealership. As required by this federal regulation, Ford Motor Company submitted the details of its latest General Recall Reimbursement Plan in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in May 2021. The following is the text of that letter and the Plan: General Recall Reimbursement Plan
(As submitted to the NHTSA) Under the requirements outlined in 49 CFR Part 573 and Part 577 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Ford Motor Company (Ford) is submitting the required information about our general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners before they are notified of a related safety recall. Set forth below is Ford’s general plan to reimburse owners and purchasers for costs incurred for remedies in advance of notification of potential safety-related defects or noncompliance under Part
573.6 (c)(8)(i). This plan has not changed since our February 20, 2019 submission. Reimbursement Notification Ford’s notice to a vehicle owner by 49 CFR Part 577 will indicate that Ford is offering a refund if the owner paid to have service to remedy the defect or noncompliance before a specified ending date. By Part 573.13 (c)(2), this ending date will be defined as a minimum of ten calendar days after the date on which Ford mailed the last of its Part 577 notifications to owners and will be indicated in the specific reimbursement plan available to owners for an individual recall. This notice will direct owners to seek eligible reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford at the following address: Ford Motor Company
P.O. Box 6251 Dearborn, MI 48121-6251 Ford notes that this rule allows for the identification of a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility. Under the rule, an owner who paid to remedy the defect or noncompliance before the identified beginning date would not be eligible for reimbursement. Ford generally has not established such a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility and does not presently anticipate changing this general policy. However, in any case, where Ford determines a beginning date is appropriate, Ford will indicate that date in the ownerโs notice. As permitted by 577.11(e), Ford may not include a reimbursement notification when all vehicles are well within the warranty period, subject to approval by the agency. Version 04-23-19 Costs to be Reimbursed For vehicles, reimbursement will not be less than the lesser of: โข The amount paid by the owner for the remedy that specifically addressed and was reasonably necessary to correct the defect or noncompliance that is the subject of the recall, or
โข The cost of parts for the remedy (to be no more than the manufacturer’s list retail price for authorized part(s), plus associated labor at local labor rates, miscellaneous fees (such as disposal of waste), and taxes. For replacement equipment, reimbursement will be the amount paid by the owner for the replacement item (limited by the amount of the retail list price of the defective or noncompliant item that was replaced, plus taxes, where the brand or model purchased by the owner was different from the brand or model that was the subject of the recall). If the item of motor vehicle equipment was repaired, the reimbursement provisions identified above for vehicles will apply. Ford notes that costs incurred by the owner within the period during which Ford’s original or extended warranty would have provided for a free repair of the problem will not be eligible for reimbursement, as provided by Part 573.13 (d)(1). Entities Authorized to Provide Reimbursement Ford will continue to use authorized dealers to reimburse owners under the specific reimbursement plans for a particular recall and will encourage owners to pursue requests for reimbursement directly through dealers to expedite reimbursement. Ford will also provide a mailing address to which customers can, at their option, send requests for reimbursement directly to Ford, as previously noted. Requests for reimbursement sent directly to Ford may take up to 60 days to process.
Whether the owner chooses to pursue reimbursement requests through a dealer or directly through Ford, the owner will be directed to submit the required documentation, upon which reimbursement eligibility will be determined. Required Documentation The reimbursement determination will depend upon the information provided by the customer. Consistent with Part 573.13 (d)(4) the following information must be submitted: โข Claimantโs name and address
โข Vehicle make, model, and model year
โข Vehicle identification number (VIN) and, for replacement equipment, a description of such equipment or, for tires, the model, size, and TIN (DOT code)
โข Identification of the recall number (either the Ford recall number or the NHTSA recall number)
โข Identification of the owner of the recalled vehicle at the time that the pre-notification remedy was obtained
โข An original receipt for the pre-notification remedy that includes a breakdown of the amount for parts, labor, other costs, and taxes, including costs for the replacement item. Where the receipt covers work other than to address the recall or noncompliance, Ford may require the claimant to separately identify costs that are eligible for reimbursement.
โข If the remedy was obtained during the warranty period, documentation indicating that the warranty was not honored or the warranty repair did not correct the problem related to the recall. Failure to submit all of the above information may result in the denial of the reimbursement request. Version 04-23-19 Version 04-23-19
Additional Information The Part 577 required owner notice will provide a toll-free telephone number through which specific information about the reimbursement plan can be requested from Ford. This general reimbursement plan will be incorporated into notifications under Part 573.6 by reference. Information specific to an
individual recall also may be incorporated into the Part 573.6 notification.
