REF: DELIVERY HOLD – Customer Satisfaction Program 13B02
Headliner Wrinkles dated April 2, 2013

 

New! REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT

  • The Technical Instructions in Attachment III have been modified to further optimize the repair procedure. (Note: This procedure is unique from the Workshop Manual procedure)
  • Based upon the amount of related damage dealers are encountering while performing this repair (e.g., trim panels damaged during removal and trim retention clips remaining in the sheetmetal), the guidelines for claiming related damage have been revised as follows:
    • Dealers are authorized to claim replacement of trim panels damaged during removal as Related Damage without contacting the Special Service Support Center for authorization.
    • Dealers are authorized to claim up to an additional 0.5 hour in related damage labor for the removal of trim panel clips from the sheetmetal without contacting the Special Service Support Center for authorization.
  • The Labor Operations and Claiming Instructions in Attachment II have been revised accordingly.

 

PROGRAM TERMS

This program will be in effect through April 30, 2014.  There is no mileage limit for this program.

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Certain 2013 model year moon roof equipped Fusion vehicles built at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant from February 7, 2012 through November 1, 2012.  Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS.  In addition, for a list of vehicles assigned to your dealership, visit https://web.fsavinlists.dealerconnection.com.  This information was available on April 2, 2013.

 

REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM

Differing rates of thermal expansion exist between the headliner substrate, glue, and other components bonded to the backside of the headliner, which can result in a wrinkle condition around the moon roof opening.  Note that the wrinkle condition is accentuated by high and low ambient temperature cycles.

 

SERVICE ACTION

Before delivering any of the vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to replace or modify the headliner based upon the following criteria:

  • For vehicles built on or before October 10, 2012, the headliner must be replaced.
  • For vehicles built on or after October 11, 2012, dealers must inspect the headliner for the presence of wrinkles around the moon roof opening (see Attachment III).
    • If wrinkles are present, the headliner must be replaced.
    • If wrinkles are not present, the headliner must be modified to prevent wrinkles from occurring in the future. The modification involves lowering the headliner and cutting reliefs into the blocks and supports glued to the backside of the headliner.  The relief cuts allow the components to expand and contract without wrinkling the headliner material.

NOTE:  Headliners are extraordinarily large and, as a result, shipping time to dealers may be longer than usual.  Please take the extended shipping time into consideration when scheduling service appointments.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner Letters were mailed in April, 2013.  Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

CERTAIN 2013 MODEL YEAR FUSION VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A MOON ROOF
HEADLINER WRINKLES

 

OVERVIEW

Before delivering any of the vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to replace or modify the headliner for wrinkles based upon the following criteria:

  • For vehicles built on or before October 10, 2012, the headliner must be replaced.
  • For vehicles built on or after October 11, 2012, dealers must inspect the headliner for the presence of wrinkles around the moon roof opening to determine if the headliner must be modified or replaced.

 

INSPECTION

For vehicles built on or after October 11, 2012, dealers must inspect the headliner for the presence of wrinkles around the moon roof opening to determine if the headliner must be modified or replaced.
See Figure 1.

  • If wrinkles are present, the headliner must be replaced.
  • If wrinkles are not present, the headliner must be modified to prevent wrinkles from occurring in the future. The modification involves lowering the headliner and cutting reliefs into the blocks and supports glued to the backside of the headliner. The reliefs allow the components to expand and contract and at different rates without wrinkling the headliner material.

Headliner Modification Procedure

NOTE: If the headliner is being replaced, skip to “Headliner Installation” on Page 17, no modification is necessary.

NOTE: Modification of the headliner reinforcements will prevent wrinkles by allowing greater flexibility of the substrate material.

  1. Mark cut locations on the headliner reinforcement material. See Figure 23.

CUT LOCATIONSFIGURE 23

 

NOTICE: When cutting headliner reinforcements, care must be taken not to cut any deeper than the reinforcement material. Cutting deeper than the reinforcement material can result in damage to the headliner. Holding the DREMEL cutting tool at a 45 degree angle will help ensure a smoother cut and reduce the risk of cutting deeper than necessary.

  1. Using a DREMEL tool with bit (part # 9903), cut the plastic reinforcements following the previously marked locations. See Figure 24.

Anywhere, USA 12345

 

Your Vehicle Identification Number:  12345678901234567

 

We hope you are enjoying the many great attributes of your new 2013 Fusion!  At Ford Motor Company, it has been our goal for more than 100 years to provide our customers with products they fully enjoy.  In order to maintain these standards, Ford Motor Company is providing a no-charge Customer Satisfaction Program (Program Number 13B02) for your vehicle, with the Vehicle Identification Number shown above.

What needs to be updated? It may be possible that wrinkles could develop on the interior headliner of your vehicle around the moon roof opening.
What will Ford and your dealer do? In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to inspect the headliner in your vehicle and either replace or modify it based upon the results of the inspection.  This service will be performed free of charge (parts and labor) under the terms of this program.

This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until April 30, 2014 regardless of mileage.  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.  Calling your dealer in advance will help ensure that parts are available when you arrive.  Please note that, depending on the date that your vehicle was produced, your dealer may need to inspect the headliner in your vehicle before parts can be ordered.
What should you do? Please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Customer Satisfaction Program 13B02.  Simply provide the dealer with the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your vehicle and they will prepare for the updates you need.  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 www.Fordowner.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.

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.

RETAIL OWNERS:  If you still have concerns, please contact the Ford

Motor Company Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.  For the hearing impaired call 1-800-232-5952 (TDD).  Representatives are available Monday through Friday:  8:00AM – 5:00PM (Your Local Time).
