PROGRAM TERMS

AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| F-150 Raptor R | 2023 | Dearborn Assembly | April 29, 2022 through January 14, 2023 |
U.S. Population of affected vehicles: 881. 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 Labor Allowances and Parts Ordering Information for more information.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
In some of the affected vehicles, one of the transmission-to-engine bolts may be loose or missing, reducing the clamp force between the engine and transmission. If the transmission loosens from the engine over time, it may result in progressive powertrain noise and vibration, and could eventually lead to a broken flexplate or a transmission fluid leak.
SERVICE ACTION
Before delivering any of the vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to inspect for missing or loose number (#) 6 bellhousing transmission-to-engine bolt, above the starter motor, and to torque the bolt per Work-Shop Manual (WSM) specifications. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
To maximize customer satisfaction, ensure to check OASIS for any other open customer satisfaction program(s) against this VIN, and schedule the customer in for service only after parts are available for all open programs.

Page 2 of 2 Customer Satisfaction Program 23B20 REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF
Effective March 1ˢᵗ, 2021, all parts replaced as part of an FSA repair with a repair order open date of March 1ˢᵗ, 2021, or later must be inspected and signed off on the repair order by a member of your dealer’s 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.
• All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies.
• Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed.
• 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.
• 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.). Please visit FMCDEALER > PARTS & SERVICE > WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION & WARRANTY PARTS RETURN for the latest Immediate Scrap List information.
• This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order open date of March 1ˢᵗ, 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. © Copyright 2023 Ford Motor Company Ford Motor Company
