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.
| Why are you receiving this notice? | On your vehicle, it may be possible for the camshaft roller follower bearings in the engine to experience accelerated wear based on duty cycle. |
| What is the effect? | Accelerated camshaft roller follower bearing wear may cause an engine knocking noise, the check engine light to illuminate, or a no start condition. |
| What will Ford and your dealer do? | In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to replace the camshaft roller followers free of charge (parts and labor) under the terms of this program.
This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until July 31, 2019, regardless of mileage. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners. |
| How long will it take? | The time needed for this repair is one day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time. |
| What should you do? | Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for Customer Satisfaction Program 17B30. 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 service action 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 service action performed on a timely basis. Therefore, please have this service action performed as soon as possible.
NOTE: You can receive information about Recalls and Customer Satisfaction Programs through our FordPass App. The app can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play. In addition there are other features such as reserving and paying for parking in certain locations and controlling certain functions on your vehicle (lock or unlock doors, remote start) if it is equipped to allow control. |
| Have you previously paid for this repair? | If you have previously paid for a repair that addresses the issue described in this letter, you still need to have this service action performed to ensure the correct parts were used.
If the previously paid for repair was performed before the date of this letter, you may be eligible for a refund. Refunds will only be provided for service related to camshaft roller follower replacement and related damage. To verify eligibility and expedite reimbursement, give your paid original receipt to your dealer before July 31, 2019. 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, 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.
