| E-Series | 2025 | Ohio | June 20, 2023 |

U.S. population of affected vehicles: 5,766 . Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In the affected vehicles, a casting defect in the transmission upper valve body casting may cause the main control poppet valve to get stuck in the open position. A stuck poppet valve restricts the flow of lubricant to the rear extension housing bushing, resulting in excessive heat generation in the bushing and erosion of the rear seal. This condition leads to transmission fluid leakage, noise and vibration. The increased vibration may result in a loss of torque retention on the abutment plate bolts. Once the abutment plate bolt torque is compromised, the park actuator may be unable to engage the park pawl into the park gear.
SERVICE ACTION
DO NOT DEMOSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this safety recall. A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers in December 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.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owners of record will be notified via first-class mail the week of October 30, 2023.
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.
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 :
On August 3, 2023, an issue pertaining to the transmission poppet valve was brought to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) for review. On June 15, 2023, a commercial fleet customer informed Ford of a 2024 model year F650 truck with a transmission that had a fluid leak from the rear seal. On July 12, 2023, Ford personnel picked up the leaking transmission for analysis. Ford Engineering continued to review returned transmissions that exhibited similar symptoms.
Through transmission teardown analysis, the CCRG investigation determined that a casting defect in the transmission upper valve body casting causes the main control poppet valve to get stuck in the open position.
Additionally, the CCRG team reviewed supplier maintenance records to identify when the casting insert was replaced due to wear. The CCRG requested measurements of the valve body casting in the area of the poppet valve on returned parts and confirmed that parts produced in the suspect time period were out of specification.
Continued analysis of returned transmissions found that, in certain cases, some of the abutment plate bolts were either missing or loose. Through the transmission teardowns, there is evidence to suggest that a loss of park is possible, although this condition has not been reported in the field.
As of Aug 22, 2023, there have been 95 warranty and field reports, received between March 24, 2023 and August 14, 2023, which are potentially responsive to this concern. CCRG also reviewed the customer usage from the warranty reports and noted that many were from rental vehicles .
On September 1, 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.
