REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
For certain 2023 Model year Transit vehicles, Ford shipped a Special Service Kit that contains an auxiliary wiring harness for upfit or alterations. If the auxiliary wire harness is installed into the vehicle, including chassis cab units and vans, the HVAC system will not function as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.103 Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems, due to incorrect wiring in the auxiliary wiring harness connector. Loss of the ability to control the defrost or defog function may decrease the driver’s visibility under certain driving conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to repair the auxiliary wiring harness so the HVAC system will function as required by FMVSS No. 103. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. If the upfitter chooses to repair the auxiliary wiring harness on their own, a letter of Attestation is included as an attachment for their completion to close out this recall. Once the letter has been returned to the dealer, the dealer should create an SSSC general contact and attach the signed attestation letter. (This can be one letter with multiple VINs or just one VIN).
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of April 11, 2023. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
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.
MOBILE REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS
- Confirm with the customer a mobile repair is feasible.
- Check OASIS before going to the customer’s home or business to confirm if any other outstanding FSA needs to be completed.
- Transportation – due to the simplicity of this repair, a specialty vehicle is not required.
MOBILE REPAIR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please ensure the technician brings the following to the mobile repair destination:
- Printed Technical Instructions.
- Printed Repair/Work Order or any other necessary documentation as customer copy(s) o Documents could also be emailed to the customer.
- Shirt/uniform and vehicle graphic with the dealership or Ford
logos are recommended.
SOLD VEHICLES

23C02 – CERTAIN 2023 FORD TRANSIT – AUXILIARY WIRE HARNESS
Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination
Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.
January – February 2023
On January 19, 2023, Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) opened an investigation into reports of inoperative HVAC systems on certain 2023 model year Transit vehicles. The reports of inoperative HVAC systems had been received from body builders (“upfitters”) of the Transit vehicles. The affected vehicles are produced by Ford
and then modified or upfit by vehicle body builders. If ordered, Ford
supplies a Special Service Kit that comes with several wire harnesses, including an auxiliary wire harness that can connect to the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. This auxiliary wire harness provides additional inputs and outputs for upfitters to use. Initial investigations included a visit to an upfitter location to understand how the upfitter used the auxiliary wire harness.
The CCRG investigation found that certain Transit vehicles built between November 2, 2022, and January 28, 2023, will have an inoperable HVAC system, including defrost/defog functionality, after the upfitter installs the auxiliary wire harness. Subsequent CCRG investigation determined that the auxiliary wire harness was missing a twisted pair loop which resulted in an open communication loop, preventing the HVAC system from receiving any communications and rendering the HVAC system inoperative. If an upfitter does not use the auxiliary wire harness and uses the wire harness originally equipped on the vehicle, the HVAC system will work.
A variety of Transit vehicles, including chassis cab units and vans, received the auxiliary wire harness without the twisted pair loop. When the upfitter installs the auxiliary wire harness provided by Ford, the HVAC system will not operate. Without a functioning HVAC system, defrost/defog functionality is not available and the vehicle will not conform to FMVSS No. 103 Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems.
Ford is aware of 35 reports related to this concern, received between January 14, 2023 and February 11, 2023.
On February 17, 2023, Ford’s 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.

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) 103 Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems.
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

What is the issue? Customers that ordered a Ford Special Service Kit received an auxiliary wire
harness that can connect to the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The
auxiliary harness also provides additional inputs and outputs for upfitters to
use. When the auxiliary wiring harness is connected, the vehicle’s Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system may not function, including
the defrost/defog function on the vehicle.
What is the risk? If the auxiliary wire harness is installed in a vehicle, the HVAC system will not
function. Loss of the ability to control the defrost or defog function may
decrease the driver’s visibility under certain driving conditions, increasing the
risk of a crash.
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 3rd quarter 2023.
What should you do? Do not install the auxiliary wiring harness from the Special Service Kit. If the
Special Service Kit has not been installed and you have a non-functioning
HVAC system, please contact your dealer for an appointment.

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 su vehículo, con el VIN que aparece más arriba, no cumple
con la norma federal de seguridad para vehículos de motor (FMVSS) 103 Sistemas de
desempañador/descarchador del parabrisa.
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?
Los clientes que pidieron un kit de servicio especial Ford recibieron un arnés
auxiliar que se puede conectar al bus de la red de controladores (CAN). El
arnés auxiliar también proporciona entradas y salidas adicionales para que
sean utilizadas por los encargados del reacondicionamiento. Cuando el arnés
auxiliar se conecta al sistema de calefacción, ventilación y aire acondicionado
(HVAC) del vehículo, este podría no funcionar, incluida la función de
desempañador/descarchador del vehículo.
¿Qué riesgo existe? Si se instala el arnés auxiliar en un vehículo, el sistema HVAC no funcionará.
La pérdida de capacidad de controlar la función de desempañador o
descarchador podría reducir la visibilidad del conductor en determinadas
condiciones de manejo, lo cual aumenta el riesgo de choque.
¿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 el 3er trimestre de
2023.
¿Qué debe hacer? No instale el arnés auxiliar del kit de servicio especial. Si no se ha instalado el
kit de servicio especial y tiene un sistema HVAC que no funciona, póngase en
contacto con su distribuidor para agendar una cita.

TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers
SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Advance Notice
Compliance Recall 23C02
Certain 2023 Model Year Transit
Wiring Harness Missing Jumper Loop
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates
Transit 2023 Kansas City November 2, 2022 through January 28, 2023
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
For certain 2023 Model year Transit vehicles, Ford shipped a Special Service Kit that contains an
auxiliary wiring harness for upfit or alterations. If the auxiliary wire harness is installed into the
vehicle, including chassis cab units and vans, the HVAC system will not function as required by
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 103 Windshield Defrosting and Defogging
Systems, due to incorrect wiring in the auxiliary wiring harness’ connector. Loss of the ability to control
the defrost or defog function may decrease the driver’s visibility under certain driving conditions,
increasing the risk of a crash.
SERVICE ACTION
DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this compliance recall.
A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers the 3rd quarter 2023 when it is anticipated that
parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this compliance 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 that parts will not be available until 3rd quarter
2023. Once parts become available, customers will then be notified via first-class mail to schedule a
service appointment with their dealer.
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.

Compliance Recall 23C02 – Supplement #1
Certain 2023 Model Year Transit
Wiring Harness Missing Jumper Loop
New! REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT
• Labor time was added for submitting the attestation.
• Supplement number added to the attachments.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates
Transit 2023 Kansas City November 2, 2022 through January 28, 2023
US population of affected vehicles is 4,809. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN
Lists.
REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
For certain 2023 Model year Transit vehicles, Ford shipped a Special Service Kit that contains an
auxiliary wiring harness for upfit or alterations. If the auxiliary wire harness is installed into the vehicle,
including chassis cab units and vans, the HVAC system will not function as required by Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.103 Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems, due to
incorrect wiring in the auxiliary wiring harness connector. Loss of the ability to control the defrost or
defog function may decrease the driver’s visibility under certain driving conditions, increasing the risk
of a crash.
SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to repair the auxiliary wiring harness so the HVAC system will function as required by
FMVSS No. 103. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle
owner. If the upfitter chooses to repair the auxiliary wiring harness on their own, a letter of Attestation
is included as an attachment for their completion to close out this recall. Once the letter has been
returned to the dealer, the dealer should create an SSSC general contact and attach the signed
attestation letter. (This can be one letter with multiple VINs or just one VIN).
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of April 11, 2023. Dealers should repair any
affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
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.

you must limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this recall.
SOLD VEHICLES
• Ford has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this
compliance recall. Owners should contact their dealers 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

Compliance Recall 23C02 – Supplement #1
Certain 2023 Model Year Transit
Wiring Harness Missing Jumper Loop
Stacy L. Balzer Ford Motor Company
Operating Director P. O. Box 1904
Service Engineering Operations Dearborn, Michigan 48121
Ford Customer Service Division
April 3, 2023
TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers
SUBJECT: FSA 23C02 HVAC Function Validation
SERVICE ACTION (No part update required)
Certain incomplete Transit vehicles were ordered with a Ford Special Service Kit that contained an auxiliary
wiring harness that connects to the Controller Area Network (CAN) and provides additional inputs and
outputs for upfitters to use. Ford launched 23C02 to recall that auxiliary wiring harness in the Ford Special
Service Kit. If it is used, it will make the HVAC system on Transit vehicles nonfunctioning and noncompliant
with FMVSS No. 103, Windshield defrosting and defogging systems.
FSA 23C02 launched prior to some upfitters completing their manufacturing on the incomplete Transit
vehicles and Ford is not aware of all the types of vehicle upfits that can occur. If the upfitter does not use
the impacted vehicle wiring harness and uses the originally equipped wire harness connector, the Transit’s
HVAC system should function as intended when certifying to FMVSS No. 103 using the Type I Statement of
Conformity in Ford’s Incomplete Vehicle Manual (“IVM”). Likewise, when the upfitter is a final stage
manufacturer, it can determine and certify the vehicle as compliant to FMVSS No. 103 and not rely on
Ford’s Type I Statement of Conformity for FMVSS No. 103 in the IVM.
Ford is proposing the following options that will help with its implementation and documentation of this
noncompliance recall. As always, an upfitter can have a Ford Dealer provide a compliant auxiliary harness
once parts are available. Please note that these options only address compliance with FMVSS No. 103;
other steps may be needed to certify this vehicle to all FMVSSs.

Use of the Original Wiring Harness – No Use of the Auxiliary Wiring Harness:
1) Confirm originally equipped wire harness connector is installed and attest (LK4Z-14A411-AR) has
been discarded.
2) Follow the guidance on Ford’s Type I Statement of Conformity for FMVSS No. 103:
a. Confirm that no alterations or adjustments are made to heater and blower assemblies,
ducting, operating controls, electrical circuit from the blower assembly to the power source,
windshield, coolant hoses from the radiator or engine to the heater.
b. Confirm that no obstructions are added that restrict or otherwise redirect the air flow from the
defroster outlets to the windshield.
3) Start ignition, allow engine to warm for five minutes.
4) Set climate control to max defrost position.
5) Verify defrost function by placing hands on top of instrument panel above defroster vents.
6) Confirm airflow from areas as noted in figure (1).
7) Provide VIN(s) to Ford Motor Company.

Upfitter Certification to FMVSS No. 103:
Using this option means that the upfitter is not relying on Ford’s Type I Statement of Conformity for
FMVSS/CMVSS 103:
1) Attest to Ford that the Upfitter has determined that the HVAC Defrost function is compliant with
FMVSS 103.
2) Provide VIN(s) to Ford Motor Company.
3) Next steps: Once self-certification is completed, the recall will be removed from the provided VIN(s)
from Recall.
Again, if either of the two certification options listed above do not apply, please contact your dealer so that
the noncompliant auxiliary wiring harness can be replaced.
