Uneven And/Or Excessive Gap Between The Center Tray/Upfitter Switch Assembly And The Instrument Panel Topper – 2019-2021 Ford Ranger

oemdtc January 7, 2022 No Comments

NHTSA ID Number: 10204039

Manufacturer Communication Number: SSM 50305

 

Summary

Some 2019-2021 Ranger vehicles may experience an uneven and/or excessive gap existing between the instrument panel (IP) topper and the center tray/upfitter switch assembly. This may be due to a lack of rigidity in the IP topper not allowing the tray/upfitter switch assembly to latch properly. The following foam block service kits should be used to correct this condition. For vehicles equipped with an IP tray, order service part # KB3Z-2104338-AG, which includes a new IP tray and foam blocks. For vehicles equipped with the upfitter switch assembly, order service part # KB3Z-2104338-A, which only includes the foam blocks. If a new upfitter switch assembly is required, this must be ordered separately. Follow the installation instructions included with each kit to install the foam blocks and repair the vehicle.
