NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V408
Manufacturer Ford Motor Company
Components POWER TRAIN
Potential Number of Units Affected 372,991

 

Driveshaft Coupling may Fail

If the coupling fails, the vehicle will not be able to move under its own power and the disconnected driveshaft may impact and damage the brake and fuel lines. Additionally, the separated driveshaft may allow the vehicle to roll if the vehicle is exited when the transmission is in ‘Park’ but the parking brake is not applied. These scenarios may increase the risk of a crash.

 

Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling all 2015-2017 Transit vehicles except 156″ and 178″ wheelbase Chassis Cab and Cut-Away bodies. In the affected vehicles, the flexible coupling connecting the transmission to the driveshaft may prematurely fail.

 

Remedy

Ford will notify owners, and as an interim repair, dealers will replace the flexible coupling on any vehicle with more than 30,000 miles. A final remedy repair of a redesigned flexible coupling or a revised driveshaft equipped with a universal joint is being developed and is expected in early 2018. These repairs will be made free of charge. Interim notifications informing owners of the safety risk were mailed July 21, 2017. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 17S15.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

April 26, 2018

TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers

SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Safety Recall 17S15 Supplement #7
Certain 2015-2017 Transit Vehicles Equipped with a Driveshaft Flexible Coupling
Driveshaft Flexible Coupling Repair

 

New! REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT

  • Service Action: All vehicles can be repaired using enhanced driveshaft flexible couplings.
  • Parts: Enhanced Driveshaft Flexible Coupling kits are available for open ordering.

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates
Transit 2015-2017 Kansas City January 17, 2014 through June 15, 2017

 

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

 

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

In the affected vehicles, the driveshaft flexible coupling may crack with increasing mileage, resulting in driveline noise and vibration.  Continued driving with a cracked flexible coupling may cause separation of the driveshaft, resulting in a loss of motive power while driving, or unintended vehicle movement in park without the parking brake applied.  In addition, separation of the driveshaft can result in secondary damage to surrounding components, including brake and fuel lines.  A driveshaft separation may increase the risk of injury or crash.

 

New! SERVICE ACTION

Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to install an enhanced driveshaft flexible coupling.

NOTE:  Although front driveshaft sections and related components are no longer available for ordering, dealers and fleets should continue to use parts previously ordered through the SSSC to repair affected vehicles.

NOTE: Although affected vehicles with less than 30,000 miles, or affected vehicles that have had an interim repair completed within the last 30,000 miles, may continue to be driven until the vehicle or replaced coupling reaches 30,000 miles, all vehicle owners are encouraged to have permanent repairs performed without delay.  Dealers must apply the permanent repair to all affected vehicles brought to your dealership, regardless of accumulated miles or previous interim repairs.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner letters were mailed by the week of August 14, 2017, advising owners of the safety risk and an interim repair.

Owners will be notified again in the second quarter of 2018, when sufficient permanent repair parts quantities are available.

PLEASE NOTE:

Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee.  Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle.  Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

Ford Motor Company
Recall Reimbursement Plan for 17S15

 

Ford and Lincoln dealers are in the best position to quickly and efficiently process reimbursement requests.  However, federal legislation requires all motor vehicle manufacturers to establish processes through which customers may seek recall reimbursement directly from the manufacturer or from the dealers. 

Regarding the specific reimbursement plan for Recall #17S15, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to August 31, 2017.   After this date, if repairs related to this recall are performed by a non-Ford repair facility in an emergency situation, customers must submit any refund requests through their dealership.  As required by this federal regulation, Ford Motor Company submitted the details of its latest General Recall Reimbursement Plan in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in February 2015.  The following is the text of that letter and the Plan:

 

General Recall Reimbursement Plan
(As submitted to the NHTSA)

 

Pursuant to the requirements set forth in 49 CFR Part 573 and Part 577 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Ford Motor Company (Ford) is submitting required information pertaining to our general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners before they are notified of a related safety recall.

Set forth below is Ford’s general plan to reimburse owners and purchasers for costs incurred for remedies in advance of notification of potential safely-related defects or noncompliances pursuant to Part 573.6 (c)(8)(i).  This plan has not changed since our February 20, 2015 submission.

 

Reimbursement Notification

Ford’s notice to a vehicle owner in accordance with 49 CFR Part 577 will indicate that Ford is offering a refund if the owner paid to have service to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to a

specified ending date.  In accordance with Part 573.13 (c)(2), this ending date will be defined as a minimum of ten calendar days after the date on which Ford mailed the last of its Part 577 notifications to owners, and will be indicated in the specific reimbursement plan available to owners for an individual recall.  This notice will direct owners to seek eligible reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford at the following address:

Ford Motor Company

Ford notes that this rule allows for the identification of a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility.  Under the rule, an owner who paid to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to the identified beginning date would not be eligible for reimbursement.  Ford generally has not established such a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility and does not presently anticipate changing this general policy.  However, in any case where Ford determines a beginning date is appropriate, Ford will indicate that date in the owner notice.  As permitted by 577.11(e), Ford may not include a

reimbursement notification when all vehicles are well within the warranty period, subject to approval by the agency.

 

Costs to be Reimbursed

For vehicles, reimbursement will not be less than the lesser of:

  • The amount paid by the owner for the remedy that specifically addressed and was reasonably necessary to correct the defect or noncompliance that is the subject of the recall, or
  • The cost of parts for the remedy (to be no more than the manufacturer’s list retail price for authorized part(s), plus associated labor at local labor rates, miscellaneous fees (such as disposal of waste) and taxes.

For replacement equipment, reimbursement will be the amount paid by the owner for the replacement item (limited by the amount of the retail list price of the defective or noncompliant item that was replaced, plus taxes, where the brand or model purchased by the owner was different than the brand or model that was the subject of the recall).  If the item of motor vehicle equipment was repaired, the reimbursement provisions identified above for vehicles will apply.

Ford notes that costs incurred by the owner within the period during which Ford’s original or extended warranty would have provided for a free repair of the problem will not be eligible for reimbursement, as provided by Part 573.13 (d)(1).

 

Entities Authorized to Provide Reimbursement

Ford will continue to use authorized dealers to reimburse owners under the specific reimbursement plans for a particular recall, and will encourage owners to pursue requests for reimbursement directly through dealers to expedite reimbursement.  Ford will also provide a mailing address to which customers can, at their option, send requests for reimbursement directly to Ford, as previously noted.  Requests for reimbursement sent directly to Ford may take up to 60 days to process.  Whether the owner chooses to pursue reimbursement requests through a dealer or directly through Ford, the owner will be directed to submit the required documentation, upon which reimbursement eligibility will be determined.

 

Required Documentation

The reimbursement determination will depend upon the information provided by the customer.  Consistent with Part 573.13 (d)(4) the following information must be submitted:

  • Claimant name and address
  • Vehicle make, model, and model year
  • Vehicle identification number (VIN) and, for replacement equipment, a description of such equipment or, for tires, the model, size and TIN (DOT code)
  • Identification of the recall number (either the Ford recall number or the NHTSA recall number)
  • Identification of the owner of the recalled vehicle at the time that the pre-notification remedy was obtained
  • An original receipt for the pre-notification remedy that includes a breakdown of the amount for parts, labor, other costs and taxes, including costs for the replacement item. Where the receipt covers work other than to address the recall or noncompliance, Ford may require the claimant to separately identify costs that are eligible for reimbursement.
  • If the remedy was obtained during the warranty period, documentation indicating that the warranty was not honored or the warranty repair did not correct the problem related to the recall.

Failure to submit all of the above information may result in denial of the reimbursement request.

 

Additional Information

The Part 577 required owner notice will provide a toll-free telephone number through which specific information about the reimbursement plan can be requested from Ford.  This general reimbursement plan will be incorporated into notifications pursuant to Part 573.6 by reference.  Information specific to an individual recall also may be incorporated into the Part 573.6 notification.

Safety Recall Notice 17S15 / NHTSA Recall 17V-408
Aviso de Revisión de Seguridad 17S15

 

Mr. John Sample
123 Main Street
Anywhere, USA 12345

 

Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):  12345678901234567

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Ford Motor Company has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in your vehicle, with the VIN shown above.

We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this condition.  Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service and support.

What is the issue? On your vehicle, the driveshaft flexible coupling may crack with increasing mileage, resulting in driveline noise and vibration.  Continued driving with a cracked flexible coupling may cause separation of the driveshaft.
What is the risk? Separation of the driveshaft can result in a loss of motive power while driving, or unintended vehicle movement in park without the parking brake applied.  In addition, separation of the driveshaft can result in secondary damage to surrounding components, including brake and fuel lines.  A driveshaft separation may increase the risk of injury or crash.
What will Ford and your dealer do? Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to perform an interim repair until the permanent repair is available.  As an interim repair, your dealer will replace the driveshaft flexible coupling free of charge (parts and labor) every 30,000 miles.  Ford does not recommend driving your vehicle over 30,000 miles on the driveshaft flexible coupling, except to the dealer for service.  Parts for the interim repair are currently available.

If your vehicle has under 30,000 miles, or has had the driveshaft or driveshaft flexible coupling replaced within the last 30,000 miles, no interim repair is required until the vehicle or replaced flexible coupling reaches 30,000 miles.

Once a permanent repair becomes available, Ford Motor Company will notify you again via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer for repairs to be completed free of charge (parts and labor).

A permanent repair for this safety recall is anticipated to be available early 2018.

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? If your vehicle experiences any abnormal driveline noise or vibration, seek service immediately. 

If your vehicle has over 30,000 miles, or it has been over 30,000 miles since the driveshaft flexible coupling was replaced, please call your dealer without delay and request an interim service repair date for Recall 17S15.  Provide the dealer with your VIN, which 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. Ford Motor Company wants you to have this safety recall completed on your vehicle.  The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have the work completed.  Ford Motor Company can deny coverage for any vehicle damage that may result from the failure to have this recall performed on a timely basis.  Therefore, please have this recall performed as soon as possible.

Please note:  Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a diagnostic feature called the Vehicle Health Report which can inform you about all available recalls, as well as other key vehicle health information. Please see https://owner.ford.com/vehicle-health for more information.

Have you previously paid for this repair? If you have previously paid for a repair that addresses the issue described in this letter, you will still need to have this permanent repair be performed once parts become available.

You may be eligible for a refund of previously paid repairs.  Refunds will only be provided for service related to driveshaft flexible coupling replacement.  To verify eligibility and expedite reimbursement, give your paid original receipt to your dealer.

Refund requests may also be sent directly to Ford Motor Company.  To request your refund from Ford, send the refund request with all required documentation, including your original repair receipt (no photocopies), to Ford Motor Company at P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, Michigan 48121-6251.

Refund requests mailed to this address may take up to 60 days to process.  Your original receipt will be returned to you.

Detailed information regarding eligibility for Ford’s reimbursement program and documentation requirements may be obtained by contacting the Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.

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 government regulations require that notification be sent to the last known owner of record.  Our records are based primarily on state registration and title data, which 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. I contacted Marcote ford of Holyoke Ma. the people I bought my transit from. I was put in contact with Gregg and my replacement was done two days latter in an unbelievable time frame. Very happy with Marcote

    Reply
  2. I contacted Quirk Ford of Quincy, MA to schedule the repair. I spoke to a John Flynn who was extremely rude and did not want to schedule the replacement as outlined in the Recall Notice. He hung up on me when I insisted it be replaced. I subsequently scheduled the replacement with a different service representative. It was a very unpleasant experience dealing with Mr. Flynn.
