SUBJECT: Customer Satisfaction Program 13N03 – Supplement #2
Certain 2009 through 2013 Model Year Fusion, Milan, Escape and Mariner Vehicles
Throttle Body Extended Coverage
REF: Customer Satisfaction Program 13N03 – Supplement #1 Throttle Body Extended Coverage dated March 5, 2014
REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT
The claiming instructions are being revised to align with the recent changes to the Warranty and Policy Manual v2.4.
NOTE: Hybrid and manual transmission vehicles are NOT included in this program.
PROGRAM TERMS
This program extends the coverage of the Throttle Body to 10 years of service or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date of the vehicle, whichever occurs first. This is a one-time repair program. If a vehicle has already exceeded the time or mileage limits, this coverage will last through January 31, 2015. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners.
VEHICLES COVERED BY THIS PROGRAM
| Vehicle Lines | Model Years | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| Fusion and Milan | 2010-2013 | Hermosillo | Job #1 thru July 16, 2013 |
| Escape and Mariner | 2009-2012 | Kansas City | Job #1 thru April 29, 2012 |
| Escape | 2013 | Louisville | Job #1 thru June 2, 2013 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS.
REASON FOR PROVIDING ADDITIONAL COVERAGE
Affected vehicles may develop contamination on the internal motor contacts of the Throttle Body, resulting in intermittent electrical connectivity. If this condition is present, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Wrench light will illuminate and the vehicle may enter a Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM) of default throttle position with fixed RPM. In this mode, engine power and vehicle speed are reduced, while full function of the power steering, power braking, lighting, and climate control systems are maintained.
SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to perform a Key On, Engine Off Self-Test. If a Throttle Body DTC is present, dealers are authorized to replace the Throttle Body under this program. This service must be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner.
NOTE: Dealers will be notified later this spring when an updated powertrain calibration is available for some affected vehicles, which will improve vehicle performance in the event that contamination of the Throttle Body motor contacts occurs.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner Letters are expected to be mailed the week of January 27, 2014. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that exhibit the covered condition, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
