Mr. John Sample

Anywhere, USA 12345

 

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.

You may have been previously notified of Customer Satisfaction Program 15M01.  This new program further extends the coverage of the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensors.

Why are you receiving this notice?

Service Engine Soon IndicatorService Engine Soon indicator

We are pleased to let you know that for your peace of mind, Ford Motor Company is extending the coverage on the EGT sensors in your vehicle.  This increases your coverage to a total of 11 years or 120,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first.

NOTE: The Service Engine Soon indicator will illuminate if an EGT sensor is not functioning properly.

If your vehicle has already exceeded the time and/or mileage limits listed above, this extended coverage will last through July 31, 2016.  Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners.

What will Ford and your dealer do? If any of the four EGT sensors on your vehicle requires replacement, and your vehicle is within the indicated time/mileage limitations, Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to replace any malfunctioning EGT sensor free of charge (parts and labor).
How long will it take? If one or more EGT sensors require replacement, 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.  Additional time may be required to allow the engine to cool prior to performing this repair.  In addition, your vehicle will require an inspection to determine if parts need to be ordered.
What should you do? You do not need to return to your dealer for this repair unless you have the Service Engine Soon indicator illuminated.  Please keep this letter as a reminder of the extended warranty coverage for your covered component.  If an EGT sensor requires replacement, and your vehicle is within the indicated time/mileage limitations, contact your dealer for a service date.  Provide the dealer with the VIN of your vehicle and request a service date for Customer Satisfaction Program 15M02.  The VIN is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter.  Your dealer will replace the part at no charge.

If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access www.Fordowner.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.

Have you previously paid for this repair? If you paid to have this service done before the date of this letter, you may be eligible for a refund.  Refunds will only be provided for service related to repair description.  To verify eligibility and expedite reimbursement, give your paid original receipt to your dealer before July 31, 2016.  To avoid delays, do not send receipts to Ford Motor Company.
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 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.

  1. Our 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty King Ranch was getting 19.8 mpg on the highway, after the emission adjustment it now gets 15.1 and getting worse. What in Hell did they do to the truck to make the mpg 31% WORSE? How is this supposed to help the environment? The dealer says they have been getting a lot of complaints about this but there is nothing they can do until Ford does a software recall to fix it. Love the truck but not happy with the mpg and Ford….
