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.).
• 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.

REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF (Continued)
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.

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 Application Performance Upgrade for your vehicle with the VIN shown above.
Why are you receiving this notice?
Your vehicle may have been built without carpeted front floor mats installed.
What is the effect?
This was a result of a parts shortage when your vehicle was manufactured. Parts are now available for your vehicle.
What will Ford and your dealer do?
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to install the missing floor mats free of charge (parts and labor) under the terms of this program.
This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until August 31, 2026 or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
If your vehicle has already exceeded either time or mileage limits listed above, this offer will last through August 31, 2024. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners.
How long will it take?
The time needed for this repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time.
What should you do?
Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for Application Performance Upgrade 23G01. Provide the dealer with the VIN of your vehicle. The VIN 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.
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.
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?
