2016-2017 3.5L and 3.7L Explorer Lower Roll Restrictor Rubber Strap Loose
Some 2016-2017 Explorers equipped with the 3.5L and 3.7L TiVCT engine may have a rubber loop integral to the heat shield on the lower roll restrictor appearing to be loose or broken.
The purpose of the loop is to keep the heat shield in place prior to vehicle assembly.
Once the roll restrictor is installed on the vehicle, the rubber loop is not necessary to retain the heat shield to the roll restrictor.
This loop may be removed.
It is not necessary to replace the roll restrictor for this issue.
