Vehicles Equipped with 2.3L Gas Engine
Engine Long Block Replacement
PROGRAM TERMS
This program will be in effect through October 31, 2026. There is no mileage limit for this program.
URGENCY / EXPIRATION DATE
This Customer Satisfaction Program has an expiration date of October 31, 2026, to encourage
dealers and customers to have this service performed as soon as possible.
We recommend dealers utilize their FSA VIN Lists name and address to contact customers with
affected vehicles. This will help minimize the number of vehicles that may experience engine coolant
leaks or engine failure, which may require towing. FSA VIN Lists are expected to be available on
October 26, 2023.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates
Ranger 2023 Michigan March 27, 2023 through April 19, 2023
Bronco 2023 Michigan April 3, 2023 through May 18, 2023
Explorer 2023 Chicago April 3, 2023 through April 29, 2023
U.S. population of affected vehicles: 131. 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 the affected vehicles, a damaged tool used during the engine block casting process may lead to the
formation of a crack in the right side of the engine block assembly that can result in a coolant leak.
Customers may experience a progressive series of symptoms, including a low coolant pressure,
which could lead to a coolant leak that would be visible beneath the vehicle and finally may result in
an illuminated Service Engine Soon Indicator for an engine overheat condition.
SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to replace the engine long block (Base Part # 6006) assembly. This service must be
performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
 Copyright 2023 Ford Motor Company
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of November 13, 2023. Dealers should repair any
affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

inventory.

Affected branded / salvaged title vehicles are eligible for this service action.

PARTS RETENTION, RETURN, & SCRAPPING
Follow the provisions of the Warranty and Policy Manual, Section 1 – WARRANTY PARTS
RETENTION AND RETURN POLICIES. If a replaced part receives a scrap disposition, the part must
be scrapped by all applicable local, state, and federal environmental protection and hazardous
material regulations. Federal law prohibits selling motor vehicle parts or components that are under
safety, compliance, or emissions recall.
EXCESS STOCK RETURN
The excess stock returned for credit must have been purchased from Ford Customer Service Division
by Policy Procedure Bulletin 4000.
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.

Customer Satisfaction Program 23B42
Mr. John Sample

Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567
At Ford Motor Company, we are committed not only to building high-quality, dependable products but
also to building a community of happy, satisfied customers. To demonstrate that commitment, we are
providing a no-charge Customer Satisfaction Program for your vehicle with the VIN shown above.
Why are you receiving
this notice?
On your vehicle, a damaged tool used during the engine block casting
process may lead to the formation of a crack in the right side of the block
assembly.
What is the effect?
Service Engine Soon
A crack in the right side of the engine block assembly can result in a coolant
leak. Customers may experience a progressive series of symptoms,
including low coolant pressure, coolant leak that would be visible beneath
the vehicle, and finally may result in an illuminated Service Engine Soon
Indicator (icon shown on the left) for an engine overheat condition.
What will Ford and
your dealer do?
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized
your dealer to replace the engine long block free of charge (parts and labor)
under the terms of this program.
This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until October 31, 2026
regardless of mileage. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent
owners.
How long will it take? The time needed for this repair is approximately 3 days. However, due to
service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a
longer period of time. Additional time may be required to allow the engine to
cool before performing this repair.
What should you do?
Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for
Customer Satisfaction Program 23B42. Provide the dealer with your VIN,
which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter.
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access
ford.com/support for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
 Copyright 2023 Ford Motor Company
What should you do?
(Continued)
Ford Motor Company wants you to have this service action completed on
your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to
have the work completed.
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.
Do you need a rental
vehicle?
Your dealer is authorized to provide a rental vehicle for your personal
transportation at no charge (except for fuel, insurance, and tax) while your
vehicle is at the dealership for repairs. Please see your dealer for guidelines
and limitations.
What if you no longer
own this vehicle?
If you no longer own this vehicle and have an address for the current owner,
please forward this letter to the new owner.
You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on
state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner.
Can we assist you
further?
If you have difficulties getting your vehicle repaired promptly and without
charge, please contact your dealership’s Service Manager for assistance.
