Special Air Conditioning – Evacuation and Charging Service Information

 

PROGRAM TERMS 

This program will be in effect through December 31, 2019. This is a one-time repair program and DOES NOT apply to vehicles outside of New Vehicle Limited Warranty.  Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners.

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Vehicle	Model Year	Assembly Plant	Build Dates
Expedition	2019	Kentucky Truck	November 14, 2018 through November 16, 2018
Navigator	2019	Kentucky Truck	November 14, 2018 through November 16, 2018

 

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

 

REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM

This program provides special service instructions and loaner equipment to expedite the repair of the air conditioning (a/c) system on affected vehicles, which may not have been properly evacuated prior to the refrigerant charge, leaving oil and air in the system. Over time, un-evacuated air in the a/c system may result in decreased a/c performance, including being slower to cool, slower to defog, and a/c compressor failure.

 

SERVICE ACTION

Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to obtain the special loaner equipment from Ford Motor Company necessary to evacuate the a/c system of refrigerant. Once the refrigerant has been evacuated, dealers will replace the compressor and desiccant bag (part of condenser), and recharge the system. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

NOTE:  To obtain the loaner equipment, dealers are to submit a VIN-specific contact via the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) web contact site.  Follow the on-line instructions and complete the bailment agreement.  The SSSC web contact site can be accessed through the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website using the SSSC link listed at the bottom of the OASIS VIN report screen or listed under the SSSC tab.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of January 28, 2019. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

Número de identificación del vehículo (VIN): 12345678901234567

El compromiso de Ford Motor Company no es solo fabricar productos confiables y de alta calidad, sino también lograr la plena satisfacción del cliente. Para demostrar este compromiso, le ofrecemos el Programa de satisfacción del cliente sin costo alguno para su vehículo con el VIN que aparece más arriba.

¿Por qué usted recibe este aviso?	Es posible que el sistema de aire acondicionado (a/c) en su vehículo no haya sido correctamente evacuado antes de cargar el refrigerante, quedando aceite y aire en el sistema.
¿Cuál es el efecto?	Con el paso del tiempo, el aire no evacuado del sistema de a/c podría disminuir el rendimiento del sistema, con lo cual se hace más lento el enfriamiento y el desempañamiento, además de generar una falla en el compresor del a/c.
¿Qué medidas adoptarán Ford y su distribuidor?	Ford Motor Company, en su permanente interés por satisfacer al cliente, ha autorizado a su distribuidor a evaluar el sistema de refrigerante del a/c, a reemplazar el compresor y la bolsa desecante (pieza del condensador) y a recargar el sistema, sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra) conforme a los términos de este programa. Este Programa de satisfacción del cliente tendrá vigencia hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2019, independientemente del millaje. La cobertura se transfiere automáticamente a los siguientes propietarios.
¿Cuánto tiempo tomará?	El tiempo necesario para esta reparación será 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 a su distribuidor lo antes posible para que programe una cita de servicio para realizar el Programa de satisfacción del cliente 19B01. 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 que realice esta acción de servicio en su vehículo. El propietario del vehículo es responsable de efectuar los arreglos necesarios para llevar a cabo el trabajo.

Por lo tanto, le solicitamos que realice esta acción de servicio lo antes posible. 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.
¿Qué pasa si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo?	Si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo y tiene la dirección del propietario actual, le solicitamos que le reenvíe esta carta. Este aviso lo recibió porque en nuestros archivos, basados principalmente en datos de registro y propiedad de los EE. UU., aparece usted como el propietario actual.
¿Podemos hacer algo más por usted?	Si tiene problemas para reparar de inmediato su vehículo y sin costo alguno, comuníquese con el Gerente de Servicio de su distribuidor para solicitar ayuda. PROPIETARIOS MINORISTAS: si tiene dudas o preguntas, comuníquese con nuestro Centro de Relación con Clientes Ford al 1-866-436-7332 yuno de nuestros representantes con gusto lo atenderá.

Programa de satisfacción del cliente 19B01

 

Sr. Juan Pérez
Calle Principal 123
Ciudad, País 12345

 

Número de identificación del vehículo (VIN): 12345678901234567

El compromiso de The Lincoln Motor Company no es solo fabricar productos confiables y de alta calidad, sino también lograr la plena satisfacción del cliente. Para demostrar este compromiso, le ofrecemos el Programa de satisfacción del cliente sin costo alguno para su vehículo con el VIN que aparece más arriba.

¿Por qué usted recibe este aviso?	Es posible que el sistema de aire acondicionado (a/c) en su vehículo no haya sido correctamente evacuado antes de cargar el refrigerante, quedando aceite y aire en el sistema.
¿Cuál es el efecto?	Con el paso del tiempo, el aire no evacuado del sistema de a/c podría disminuir el rendimiento del sistema, con lo cual se hace más lento el enfriamiento y el desempañamiento, además de generar una falla en el compresor del a/c.
¿Qué harán Lincoln y su distribuidor?	The Lincoln Motor Company, en su permanente interés por satisfacer al cliente, ha autorizado a su distribuidor a evaluar el sistema de refrigerante del a/c, a reemplazar el compresor y la bolsa desecante (pieza del condensador) y a recargar el sistema, sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra) conforme a los términos de este programa. Este Programa de satisfacción del cliente tendrá vigencia hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2019, independientemente del millaje. La cobertura se transfiere automáticamente a los siguientes propietarios.
¿Cuánto tiempo tomará?	El tiempo necesario para esta reparación será 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 a su distribuidor lo antes posible para que programe una cita de servicio para realizar el Programa de satisfacción del cliente 19B01. Proporcione el VIN del vehículo a su distribuidor. El VIN está impreso debajo de sus datos al inicio 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. Solicite el servicio de retiro y entrega Lincoln a través de su distribuidor si desea aprovechar esta oportunidad. 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 que realice esta acción de servicio 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 esta acción de servicio de manera oportuna. Por lo tanto, le solicitamos que realice esta acción de servicio lo antes posible. NOTA: puede recibir información sobre las campañas y los programas de satisfacción del cliente a través de la aplicación The Lincoln Way: Lincoln Owner. 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.
¿Necesita un vehículo de alquiler?	Su distribuidor está autorizado a ofrecerle un vehículo de alquiler para su transporte personal sin costo (excepto el combustible, el seguro y los impuestos) mientras su vehículo se encuentre en reparación. Comuníquese con su distribuidor para conocer las pautas y limitaciones.
¿Qué pasa si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo?	Si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo y tiene la dirección del propietario actual, le solicitamos que le reenvíe esta carta. Este aviso lo recibió porque en nuestros archivos, basados principalmente en datos de registro y propiedad de los EE. UU., aparece usted como el propietario actual.
¿Podemos hacer algo más por usted?	Si tiene problemas para reparar de inmediato su vehículo y sin costo alguno, comuníquese con el Gerente de Servicio de su distribuidor para solicitar ayuda. PROPIETARIOS MINORISTAS: si tiene dudas o preguntas, comuníquese con nuestro Centro de Relación con Clientes al 1-866-436-7332 y uno de nuestros representantes con gusto lo atenderá. Si desea comunicarse con nosotros a través de Internet, nuestra dirección es: www.Lincolnowner.com. Las personas con problemas de audición pueden llamar al 1-800-232-5952 (TDD). Los representantes atienden de lunes a viernes: 8:00 am a 8:00 pm (hora local). PROPIETARIOS DE FLOTAS: si tiene dudas o preguntas, comuníquese con nuestro Centro de Información a Clientes de flotas al 1-800-34FLEET, elija la opción n.° 3 y uno de nuestros representantes con gusto lo atenderá. Si desea comunicarse con nosotros a través de Internet, nuestra dirección es: www.fleet.ford.com. Los representantes atienden de lunes a viernes: 8:00 am a 8:00 pm (hora local).

Mr. John Sample

Anywhere, USA 12345

 

Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567

At the Lincoln 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 is possible that the air conditioning (a/c) system may not have been properly evacuated prior to the refrigerant charge, leaving oil and air in the system.
What is the effect?	Over time, un-evacuated air in the a/c system may result in decreased a/c performance, including being slower to cool, slower to defog, and a/c compressor failure.
What will Lincoln and your dealer do?	In the interest of customer satisfaction, the Lincoln Motor Company has authorized your dealer to evacuate the a/c system of refrigerant, replace the compressor and desiccant bag (part of condenser), and recharge the system, free of charge (parts and labor) under the terms of this program. This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until December 31, 2019 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.
What should you do?	Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for Customer Satisfaction Program 19B01. Provide the dealer with the VIN of your vehicle. The VIN is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter. Lincoln owners of 2017 Model Year or later vehicles affected by this recall have the option of requesting complimentary Pickup & Delivery service with a Lincoln vehicle for use during service. Please request Lincoln Pickup & Delivery through your dealership if you would like to take advantage of this option. If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access www.Lincolnowner.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.  The Lincoln 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.

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.
Do you need a rental vehicle?	Your dealer is authorized to provide a rental vehicle for your personal transportation at no charge (except for fuel, insurance, and tax) while your vehicle is at the dealership for repairs. Please see your dealer for guidelines and limitations.
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.
