REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, an issue within the 360° cameras may cause the video information from one or more of the 360° cameras, including the rear view camera, to fail to feed to the SYNC display screen during some key cycles when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. If this occurs, the SYNC screen will display a blue screen. The issue is intermittent and may recover during subsequent ignition cycles. The loss of the rear camera image during a reverse action increases the risk of crash.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to reprogram the image processing module B (IPMB) using the Ford Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS). Once complete, perform the 360° camera alignment procedure. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
NOTE: Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) cannot be used for programming on the 2020-2021 vehicles in this program.
NOTE: Certain vehicles that had 21S44 completed will need to be reprogramed again due to a software issue.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of November 15, 2021. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
SOLD VEHICLES
- Ford
has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this safety recall. Owners should contact their dealer for an appointment to have their vehicles remedied as soon as practicable. Owners can continue to safely drive their vehicles.
- Immediately contact any of your affected customers whose vehicles are not on your VIN list but are identified in OASIS. Give the customer a copy of the Owner Notification Letter (when available) and schedule a service date.
- Correct other affected vehicles identified in OASIS which are brought to your dealership.
- Dealers are to prioritize repairs of customer vehicles over repairs of new and used vehicle inventory.
STOCK VEHICLES

SERVICE PROCEDURE
Module Programming
1. Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery.
NOTE: Verify that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12 volt battery negative terminal to prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle.
NOTE: If the diagnostic software does not load or if the vehicle cannot be identified properly, make sure there is a good internet connection and the Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II) is properly connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
NOTE: Make sure the Ford Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS) does not enter sleep mode during module configuration.
2. Launch FDRS.
NOTE: Vehicle information is automatically retrieved by the diagnostic software and a Network Test is run. Vehicle identification data appears on the screen when this is complete.
3. Click ‘Read VIN from Vehicle’ or manually enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
NOTE: Available modules are shown on the left hand (LH) side of the screen, and available procedures are listed on the right hand (RH) side of the screen. Modules that are communicating are highlighted in green.
4. Select Toolbox tab.
5. From the list on the LH side of the screen, select IPMB – Image Processing Module B (IPMB).
6. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select IPMB Software Update.
NOTE: If there is no IPMB software update available, and the software level is at version LB5T-14F017-AP or higher, no further action is required. The service repair is complete.
7. Click RUN. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully.
8. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select Self-Test and click RUN.
9. Click the Run Selected Tests button in the lower right.
10. Click the Clear & Retest button at the top of the screen to clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) in all modules.

Important Information for Module Programming
NOTE: When programming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors.
- Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect FDRS/scan tool to a power source.
NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic software.
- Inspect Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II
)/Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module (VCMM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming.
- A hardwired connection is strongly recommended.
- Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors.
- Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio, etc.).
- Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully.
- Disable FDRS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes.
- Create all sessions Key On Engine Off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process.
Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module
a. Disconnect the VCMII or VCMM from the Data Link Connector (DLC) and your PC.
b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and the PC. Launch FDRS. The VCMII/VCMM icon should turn green in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM connection.
c. If you are using the same FDRS as the initial programming attempt, select the appropriate VIN from the Vehicle Identification menu. If you are using a different FDRS, select “Read VIN from Vehicle” and proceed through the Network Test.
d. In the Toolbox menu, navigate to the failed module and Download/Run Programmable Module Installation (PMI). Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked if the original module is installed, select “No” and continue through the installation application.
e. Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps are followed in order.

If you have had 21S44 performed previously, you will still need the updated 21S44 service action (software calibration) performed. Please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall 21S44. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter. Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable. You can continue to safely drive your vehicle. If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access owner.ford.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions. Ford Motor Company wants you to have this safety recall completed on your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have the work completed. Therefore, please have this recall performed as soon as possible. Please note: Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days. JOHN A.

UU. Ford Motor Company ha determinado que existe un defecto relacionado con la seguridad de su vehículo, 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? Nota importante: En su vehículo, recientemente se ha realizado la campaña 21S44 relacionada con la cámara de 360 grados. Según nuestros registros, la calibración del software fue incorrecta para esa reparación anterior. En su vehículo, la pantalla de la cámara de 360 grados, que incluye la cámara trasera, podría mostrar de forma intermitente una imagen azul en la pantalla táctil de los medios luego de cambiar a reversa, debido a una calibración incorrecta del software. ¿Qué riesgo existe? La pérdida de imagen de la cámara trasera durante un evento de retroceso puede reducir la vista del conductor de lo que hay detrás del vehículo, lo cual aumenta el riesgo de sufrir un choque. ¿Qué medidas adoptarán Ford y su distribuidor? Ford Motor Company ha autorizado a su distribuidor a reprogramar módulo de procesamiento de imagen B (IPMB) con el nivel de calibración de software más reciente, sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra). ¿Cuánto tiempo tomará? El tiempo necesario para reparar 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? Si con anterioridad realizó la campaña 21S44, igualmente deberá ejecutar a la acción de servicio 21S44 actualizada (calibración del software). Llame de inmediato al distribuidor y solicite una cita de servicio para realizar la campaña 21S44. Proporcione el VIN a su distribuidor, el cual está impreso debajo de sus datos al comienzo de esta carta. Para esta campaña de seguridad, Ford no emitió instrucciones de no manejar el vehículo. Deberá ponerse en contacto con su distribuidor a fin de programar una cita para solucionar este problema lo más pronto posible. Puede continuar manejando su vehículo con seguridad. Si aún no tiene un distribuidor para realizar el servicio, puede acceder a owner.ford.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 realizar los arreglos necesarios para llevar a cabo el trabajo. 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. 3 of 4 A/3/000001/1 02164 21S44 E/DTB121S4E1 Noviembre de 2021 Ford Motor Company División de Servicio al Cliente de Ford P.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles, an issue within the 360° cameras may cause the video information from one or more of the 360° cameras, including the rear view camera, to fail to feed to the SYNC display screen during some key cycles when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. If this occurs, the SYNC screen will display a blue screen. The issue is intermittent and may recover during subsequent ignition cycles. The loss of the rear camera image during a reverse action increases the risk of crash. New!

ATTACHMENT III PAGE 2 OF 2 SAFETY RECALL 21S44-S1 CPR © 2021 FORD MOTOR COMPANY DEARBORN, MICHIGAN 48121 11/2021 Important Information for Module Programming NOTE: When programming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors. • Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect FDRS/scan tool to a power source. NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic software. • Inspect Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II)/Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module (VCMM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming. • A hardwired connection is strongly recommended. • Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors. • Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio,etc.). • Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully. • Disable FDRS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes. • Create all sessions Key On Engine Off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process. Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module a. Disconnect the VCMII or VCMM from the Data Link Connector (DLC) and your PC. b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and the PC. Launch FDRS. The VCMII/VCMM icon should turn green in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM connection. c. If you are using the same FDRS as the initial programming attempt, select the appropriate VIN from the Vehicle Identification menu. If you are using a different FDRS, select “Read VIN from Vehicle” and proceed through the Network Test. d. In the Toolbox menu, navigate to the failed module and Download/Run Programmable Module Installation (PMI). Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked if the original module is installed, select “No” and continue through the installation application. e. Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps are followed in order.
