Certain 2011-2012 Model Year F-450 and F-550 Vehicles Equipped with a 6.7L Engine
Turbocharger Extended Warranty Coverage
PROGRAM TERMS
This program extends the warranty coverage of the turbocharger to 11 years of service or 120,000 miles from the warranty start date of the vehicle, whichever occurs first.
This program DOES NOT apply to vehicles that qualify for repairs under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Repairs for vehicles covered by New Vehicle Limited Warranty should be claimed using applicable Labor Operation Codes for the Workshop Manual procedure. Additionally, this program may be used multiple times as long as the vehicle is within time and mileage limits of the program. Once the program has expired, SPW and ESP may be eligible.
If a vehicle has already exceeded either the time or mileage limits, this extended warranty coverage will last through January 31, 2020.
Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners.

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS.
REASON FOR PROVIDING EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE
In some of the affected vehicles, the turbocharger may become damaged when the engine is operated in certain ranges and conditions for an extended length of time. Turbocharger damage can result in a lack of power, unusual noise, and illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) accompanied by shutdown of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.
SERVICE ACTION
If an affected vehicle exhibits this condition, dealers are to replace the turbocharger. This service must be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner Letters are expected to be mailed the week of August 19, 2019. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that experience a damaged turbocharger, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

| Why are you receiving this notice? | Although your vehicle’s turbocharger is likely functioning correctly, we are pleased to let you know that, for your peace of mind, Ford Motor Company is extending the warranty coverage on the turbocharger. |
What is the effect?
 Service Engine Soon Indicator | Your vehicle’s turbocharger may become damaged when the engine is operated in certain ranges and conditions for an extended length of time. Turbocharger damage can result in a lack of power, unusual noise, and illumination of the service engine soon indicator accompanied by shutdown of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.
This program increases the turbocharger warranty coverage to a total of 11 years or 120,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first. If your vehicle has already exceeded either time or mileage limits listed above, this extended warranty coverage will last through January 31, 2020. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners. |
| What will Ford and your dealer do? | If your vehicle’s turbocharger requires replacement and your vehicle is within the indicated time/mileage limitations, Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to replace the turbocharger free of charge (parts and labor). |
| How long will it take? | If the component mentioned above requires replacement, the time needed for this repair is less than one day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time. Additional time may be required to allow the engine to cool prior to performing this repair. In addition, your vehicle will/may require an inspection to determine if parts need to be ordered. |
| What should you do? | You do not need to return to your dealer for this repair unless your vehicle exhibits the symptoms mentioned previously. Please keep this letter as a
reminder of the extended warranty coverage for your turbocharger. If your vehicle exhibits the symptoms mentioned previously, and your vehicle is within the indicated time/mileage limitations, contact your dealer to schedule a service appointment. Provide the dealer with the VIN of your vehicle to schedule a service appointment for Customer Satisfaction Program 18M05. The VIN is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter. Your dealer will replace the part at no charge. If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access www.Fordowner.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions. 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 paid to have this service done before the date of this letter, you may be eligible for a refund. Refunds will only be provided for service related to turbocharger replacement. To verify eligibility and expedite reimbursement, give your paid original receipt to your dealer before January 31, 2020. 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 indicate that you are the current owner. |
