Summary
In all of the affected vehicles, a one-speed transfer case was installed instead of the two-speed transfer case that was intended to be installed with the heavy duty trailer tow package. As a result, the Slow Climb drive mode and the Neutral Tow setting will not be available on the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) message center display. This will prohibit the vehicle from being flat-towed and may cause poor drivability in extreme off-road conditions.

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 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 DLC and from the diagnostic scan tool.
b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and diagnostic scan tool. 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Federal law prohibits selling motor vehicle parts or components that are under safety, compliance, or emissions recall. Unless a part is requested to be returned to Ford, all parts replaced under this FSA must be scrapped in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal environmental protection and hazardous material regulations. Refer to the Parts Retention, Return, & Scrapping section of the FSA dealer bulletin for further information.

REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF
Effective March 1st 2021 all parts replaced as part of an FSA repair with a repair order open date of
March 1st 2021 or later must be inspected and signed off on the repair order by a member of your
dealers fixed operations management team or an employee the task has been delegated to. If the
task is to be delegated to a non-management employee, the employee needs to be someone other
than the technician who completed the repair and needs to understand the importance of completing
this task consistently and accurately.
• All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department
following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies.
• Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed.
• If the FSA repair is found to be complete, the designated employee signs the repair order line
or parts return stamp area (electronic or hand signed) for the FSA repair indicating the parts
were inspected and validated to have been replaced.
• After the parts have been inspected, they should be handled based on the guidance in the
parts status report in the Online Warranty System (Hold, Return, CORE, Scrap, etc.).
• This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order
open date of March 1st 2021 or later. Any eligible FSA claims requiring parts replacement,
found not to have been inspected and signed off during a warranty audit will be subject to
chargeback and consideration for enrollment into the Dealer Incomplete Recall Repair
Process.
Note: Other approvals (electronic or handwritten) for add-on repair lines, dealer owned vehicle
repairs, and repeat repairs do not qualify as FSA parts inspection approvals. The post repair FSA
parts inspection process (electronic or handwritten) is independent from other warranty approval
requirements. The approval by the designated employee implies that the FSA parts were found to be
replaced and must be able to be clearly identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSA’s require
approval on a single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post repair
approval by the designated employee.

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, a one-speed transfer case was installed instead of the
two-speed transfer case that was intended to be installed with the heavy
duty trailer tow package.
What is the effect? This will result in the inability to select Slow Climb drive mode or the Neutral
Tow setting on the instrument panel cluster message center display. This will
prohibit the vehicle from being flat-towed and may cause poor drivability in
extreme off-road conditions.
What will Lincoln and
your dealer do?
In the interest of customer satisfaction, the Lincoln Motor Company has
authorized your dealer to replace the transfer case, transfer case wiring
harness, transfer case control module and reconfigure the affected modules
on your vehicle including the anti-lock braking system, instrument panel
cluster, power train control module and transmission control module free of
charge (parts and labor) under the terms of this program.
How long will it take? 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.
What should you do?
Please call your dealer without delay to initiate the parts ordering process.
Provide the dealer with the VIN of your vehicle. The VIN is printed near your
name at the beginning of this letter. Your dealer will contact you back to
schedule a service appointment for Customer Satisfaction Program 21B47.

vehicle?

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.
