NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Advance Notice
Compliance Recall 23C24
Certain 2023 Model Year F53/F59 Stripped Chassis
SDLC Module Waterlogged during Engine Rework
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| F53/F59 Stripped Chassis | 2023 | Detroit Chassis | July 14, 2022 through March 29, 2023. |
US population of affected vehicles: 5,558. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
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. 101, Controls and Displays, and FMVSS No. 105, Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems. Affected vehicles have Smart Data Link Connector modules that may have been exposed to moisture, potentially leading to corrosion in the module, connector, and wire harness. The resulting corrosion may interfere with the vehicle’s Controller Area Network (CAN) communication. As a result, the Instrument Panel Cluster may be inoperative when installed by the vehicle upfitter or another vehicle modifier. An inoperative Instrument Panel Cluster does not provide safety-related information to the driver and increases 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 in the 4th quarter 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 after repair instructions and parts ordering information have been provided to dealers.
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.

Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination
Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.
May 2023
On May 4, 2023, an issue pertaining to water damaged Smart Data Link Connectors (SDLCs) was brought to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group for review. Ford received reports of inoperative instrument panel clusters and various other electrical issues from a body builder (“upfitter”) of 2023 model year F5x stripped chassis vehicles. The affected incomplete vehicles are produced by Ford and then modified or upfit by vehicle body builders.
The CCRG investigation found that certain F5x vehicles built between July 14, 2022 and March 29, 2023 were subject to a rework procedure at the manufacturing plant. This rework procedure required removal of a protective plastic bag from the SDLC module in order to connect to the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) port. After the contractor completed the rework procedure, they did not consistently reinstall and secure the protective bags over the SDLC modules. As a result, the SDLC modules in these stripped chassis units were exposed to the elements, including precipitation, while in outdoor holding lots awaiting transport to upfitters.
June – July 2023
On June 5, 2023, an engineering study was conducted on a sampling of eight stripped chassis units at an upfitter which had reported SDLC communication issues. All eight of the samples exhibited signs of corrosion in the SDLC module and the wire harness connector. On June 26, 2023, an additional review by Ford Engineering of seven wire harnesses showed corrosion in the wiring of the wire harness. On July 6, 2023, a further review by Ford Engineering of two of these wire harnesses found that one had corrosion past the length (30 cm) of the service pigtail.
F5x Stripped Chassis vehicles with corrosion in the SDLC and connected wiring are susceptible to developing a variety of electrical issues related to loss of communication on the CAN bus. The most commonly reported issue that Ford has received is an inoperative or blank cluster screen. A blank cluster screen will not conform to the requirements of FMVSS No. 101, Controls and Displays, and FMVSS No. 105, Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems.
As of July 11, 2023, Ford is aware of 90 field reports received from March 22, 2023 to June 14, 2023 potentially related to this concern.
On July 14, 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.

US population of affected vehicles: 5,558. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists. 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. 101, Controls and Displays, and FMVSS No. 105, Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems. Affected vehicles have Smart Data Link Connector modules that may have been exposed to moisture, potentially leading to corrosion in the module, connector, and wire harness. The resulting corrosion may interfere with the vehicle’s Controller Area Network (CAN) communication. As a result, the Instrument Panel Cluster may be inoperative when installed by the vehicle upfitter or another vehicle modifier. An inoperative Instrument Panel Cluster does not provide safety-related information to the driver and increases 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 in the 4th quarter 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 after repair instructions and parts ordering information have been provided to dealers. 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 Ó Copyright 2023 Ford Motor Company 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. QUESTIONS & ASSISTANCE For questions and assistance, contact the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) via the SSSC Web Contact Site.
