Crankcase Oil Separator Filter Element
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| F-350 / F-450 / F-550 | 2017 | Kentucky Truck | October 8, 2015 through May 5, 2017 |

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS EMISSION RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, the engine crankcase oil separator filter may have a bypass valve with the incorrect spring rate. An incorrect spring rate may allow the bypass valve to open before the service interval is reached. The valve opening early results in oil carryover into the turbocharger, potentially increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
SERVICE ACTION
Before delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to replace the crankcase oil separator filter element. This service must be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner.
NOTE: The State of California and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts require the completion of emission recall repairs prior to vehicle registration renewal. For vehicles registered in these states, please provide the owner with a Vehicle Emission Recall Proof of Correction certificate after the repair has been performed. These certificates may be obtained by contacting your regional office.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Pending Agency approval, owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of October 2, 2017. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
The sale of uncorrected new vehicles to customers could lead to penalties under applicable state and Federal regulations. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory prior to delivery.
