SUBJECT: Customer Satisfaction Program 19B27 โ Supplement #1
Certain 2019 Model Year F-Super Duty Vehicles
Uncured Power Steering Hoses
New! REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT
Labor Allowances: Unique labor operations have been established for the inspection of vehicles equipped with Vacuum Boost brakes vs. Hydro-Boost brakes.
PROGRAM TERMS
This program will be in effect through November 30, 2020. There is no mileage limit for this program.
URGENCY / EXPIRATION DATE
This Customer Satisfaction Program has an expiration date of November 30, 2020 to encourage dealers and customers to have this service performed as soon as possible.
We recommend dealers utilize their FSA VIN Lists name and address (available on December 2, 2019) to contact customers with affected vehicles. This will help minimize the number of vehicles that may experience a power steering fluid leak.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
F-Super Duty | 2019 | Kentucky Truck | February 15, 2019 through June 14, 2019 |
Ohio | February 15, 2019 through June 12, 2019 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
In some of the affected vehicles, a power steering hose or hoses may not have been cured properly during the manufacturing process. An improperly cured power steering hose may develop a fluid leak and result in degradation or loss of the power steering assist. Vehicles with Hydro-Boost brake systems may also experience degradation or loss of the power brake assist.
SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to inspect the lot batch and timestamp codes printed on affected power steering hoses, and replace if necessary. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of November 18, 2019. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
