Ford Motor Company
Recall Reimbursement Plan for 18S08

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 # 18S08, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to May 31, 2018.   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
P.O. Box 6251
Dearborn, MI  48121-6251

 

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.

Aviso de campaña de seguridad 18S08/campaña de la NHTSA 18V-167

 

Sr. Juan Pérez
Calle Principal 123
Ciudad, EE. UU. 12345

 

Número de identificación del vehículo (VIN):  12345678901234567

 

Este aviso se le envía de acuerdo con la Ley nacional de seguridad y tránsito de vehículos de EE. UU.

Ford Motor Company ha determinado que su vehículo presenta un defecto relacionado con la seguridad del motor, con el VIN que aparece más arriba.

Lamentamos esta situación y deseamos asegurarle que, con su ayuda, corregiremos el problema.  Nuestro compromiso, junto con el de su distribuidor, es ofrecerle servicio y apoyo de alto nivel.

¿Cuál es el problema? En su vehículo, el tornillo de unión del volante de dirección podría aflojarse con el paso del tiempo y posiblemente causar la separación del volante de dirección con respecto de la columna de dirección, lo cual aumenta el riesgo de sufrir un choque al manejar.
¿Qué medidas adoptarán Ford y su distribuidor? Ford Motor Company ha autorizado a su distribuidor a reemplazar el tornillo de unión del volante de dirección, sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra).
¿Cuánto tiempo tomará? El tiempo necesario para esta reparación deberá ser menos de medio día.  Sin embargo, debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su distribuidor tarde un poco más.
¿Qué debe hacer? Llame de inmediato al distribuidor y solicite una fecha de servicio para realizar la campaña 18S08.  Proporcione el VIN a su distribuidor, el cual está impreso debajo de sus datos al comienzo de esta carta.

Si aún no tiene un distribuidor para realizar el servicio, puede acceder a www.Fordowner.com para conocer las direcciones de los distribuidores, ver mapas y obtener las instrucciones para llegar.   

Ford Motor Company le recomienda realizar esta campaña de seguridad en su vehículo.  El propietario del vehículo es responsable de efectuar los arreglos necesarios para llevar a cabo el trabajo.  Ford Motor Company puede negar la cobertura en caso de que el vehículo hubiese sufrido daños por no haber realizado la campaña de manera oportuna.  Por lo tanto, le solicitamos que realice esta campaña lo antes posible.

Tenga presente que:  la ley federal exige que los arrendadores de vehículos que reciban este aviso de campaña envíen una copia del mismo al arrendatario en un plazo de diez días.

NOTA:  puede recibir información sobre las campañas y los programas de satisfacción del cliente a través de la aplicación FordPass.  La aplicación se puede descargar a través de App Store o Google Play.  Adicionalmente, existen otras funciones como reserva y pago de estacionamientos en ciertos lugares, además de control de ciertas funciones en el vehículo (bloqueo y desbloqueo de puertas, arranque remoto) si así está equipado para permitir el control.

¿Ha pagado anteriormente por esta reparación? Si usted ha pagado previamente por una reparación que aborda el problema descrito en esta carta, igualmente deberá realizar esta campaña de seguridad a fin de asegurarse de que se hayan utilizado las piezas correctas.

Es posible que cumpla con los requisitos para recibir un reembolso por las reparaciones pagadas previamente.  El reembolso solo se entregará por servicios relacionados con el tornillo del volante de dirección flojo.  Para comprobar si cumple con los requisitos y agilizar el reembolso, proporcione el recibo de pago original a su distribuidor.

Lamentamos esta situación y deseamos asegurarle que, con su ayuda, corregiremos el problema.  Nuestro compromiso, junto con el de su distribuidor, es ofrecerle servicio y apoyo de alto nivel.

¿Cuál es el problema? En su vehículo, el tornillo de unión del volante de dirección podría aflojarse con el paso del tiempo y posiblemente causar la separación del volante de dirección con respecto de la columna de dirección, lo cual aumenta el riesgo de sufrir un choque al manejar.
¿Qué harán Lincoln y su distribuidor? The Lincoln Motor Company ha autorizado a su distribuidor a reemplazar el tornillo de unión del volante de dirección, sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra).
¿Cuánto tiempo tomará? El tiempo necesario para esta reparación deberá ser menos de medio día.  Sin embargo, debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su distribuidor tarde un poco más.
¿Qué debe hacer? Llame de inmediato al distribuidor y solicite una fecha de servicio para realizar la campaña 18S08.  Proporcione el VIN a su distribuidor, el cual está impreso debajo de sus datos al comienzo de esta carta.

Los propietarios de vehículos Lincoln año de modelo 2017 o posterior que se ven afectados por esta campaña tienen la opción de solicitar el servicio complementario de retiro y entrega Lincoln con un vehículo Lincoln para uso durante el servicio.

Si aún no tiene un distribuidor para realizar el servicio, puede acceder a www.Lincolnowner.com para conocer las direcciones de los distribuidores, ver mapas y obtener las instrucciones para llegar.      

The Lincoln Motor Company le recomienda realizar esta campaña de seguridad en su vehículo.  El propietario del vehículo es responsable de efectuar los arreglos necesarios para llevar a cabo el trabajo. The Lincoln Motor Company puede negar la cobertura en caso de que el vehículo hubiese sufrido daños por no haber realizado la campaña de manera oportuna.  Por lo tanto, le solicitamos que realice esta campaña lo antes posible.

Tenga presente que:  la ley federal exige que los arrendadores de vehículos que reciban este aviso de campaña envíen una copia del mismo al arrendatario en un plazo de diez días.

Adicionalmente, existen otras funciones como reserva y pago de estacionamientos en ciertos lugares, además de control de ciertas funciones en el vehículo (bloqueo y desbloqueo de puertas, arranque remoto) si así está equipado para permitir el control.

¿Ha pagado anteriormente por esta reparación? Si usted ha pagado previamente por una reparación que aborda el problema descrito en esta carta, igualmente deberá realizar esta campaña de seguridad a fin de asegurarse de que se hayan utilizado las piezas correctas.

Es posible que cumpla con los requisitos para recibir un reembolso por las reparaciones pagadas previamente.  El reembolso solo se entregará por servicios relacionados con el tornillo del volante de dirección flojo.  Para comprobar si cumple con los requisitos y agilizar el reembolso, proporcione el recibo de pago original a su distribuidor.

También puede enviar las solicitudes de reembolso directamente a The Lincoln Motor Company.  Para solicitar un reembolso a Lincoln, envíe la solicitud de reembolso con toda la documentación requerida, incluido el recibo original de la reparación (no envíe fotocopias), a The Lincoln Motor Company, P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, Michigan 48121-6251.  El procesamiento de las solicitudes de reembolso enviadas a esta dirección puede tardar hasta 60 días.  Su recibo original le será regresado.

1 Associated Investigation

Steering Wheel Fastening Bolt Loosens
NHTSA ID: PE17007
Dated opened: October 23, 2017

On March 12th, 2018, Ford Motor Company submitted a Defect Information Report to NHTSA describing a defect in the steering wheel fastening system of approximately 1,301,986 model year (MY) Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. On March 1, 2018, Ford discovered a design change that affected the MY 2014-2018 subject vehicles. The affected population are MY 2014-2016 Fusion and MKZ with manual and power adjust steering columns and MY 2017-2018 Fusion and MKZ equipped with manual adjust steering columns only. The affected populations have steering shafts with a reduced amount of threads for the steering wheel bolt to engage. The thread length was decreased by 5mm in the affected models. Ford stated that another contributing factor was the placement of a nylon locking patch torque retention on the fastening bolt. As a result, the steering wheel bolt may not maintain torque allowing the bolt to loosen and eventually separate from the steering shaft, resulting in a loose or detached steering wheel.

The two crashes and one injury noted in Ford’s Defect Information Report are from two legal claims. The first accident is a claim where the driver reported the steering wheel twisted freely on the shaft which caused the driver to lose control. An injury was alleged but no details were provided. The second claim resulted in minor damage to the driver side of the vehicle including a punctured tire. No injury was reported.

Ford’s recall remedy procedure will use a bolt that is 17mm longer, providing a more robust steering column thread and torque retention patch engagement. The torque retention feature will be 13mm longer to ensure proper engagement.

This investigation is closed based on Ford’s recall.
