Customer Satisfaction Program 21N06 – Selective Catalyst Reduction System Warranty Extension – 2013-2016 Ford F-Super Duty & 2015-2019 Transit

NHTSA ID Number: 10189759

Manufacturer Communication Number: 21N06

Summary

Certain 2013-2016 Model Year F-Series Super Duty 6.7L Diesel and 2015-2019 Model Year Transit 3.2L Diesel Vehicles

Selective Catalyst Reduction System Warranty Extension

In all of the affected vehicles, the onboard diagnostic (OBD) system initially contained a software error that prevented illumination of the malfunction indicator light (MIL) if a certain fault was present in the SCR. Since the PCM was reprogrammed under Emissions Recall 21E01, the OBD system is now able to detect this SCR fault previously masked by the software error and can light the MIL if faults are found to be present

Selective Catalyst Reduction System Warranty Extension
REF: NEW VEHICLE DELIVERY HOLD – Emission Recall 21E01
Customer Satisfaction Programs 21N02 and 21N05
Dated: March 17, 2021
PROGRAM TERMS
Vehicles must have Emissions Recall 21E01 completed and claimed in the One Warranty System
(OWS) or the Dealer Management System (DMS) before Customer Satisfaction Program 21N06 is
activated in OASIS.
This program extends the warranty coverage of the catalytic converter portion of the selective catalyst
reduction (SCR) system for twelve months of service, beginning on the date the powertrain control
module (PCM) is reprogrammed under Emissions Recall 21E01. This program only applies if an SCR
(converter) fault is detected and it is related to a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P20EE identified after
21E01 has been performed.
This is a one-time repair program.
Customer Satisfaction Program 21N06 expires twelve months after Emissions Recall 21E01 is
completed or December 31, 2024, whichever occurs first. Vehicles will no longer be eligible for free
service under 21N06 after December 31, 2024 with or without Emissions Recall 21E01 performed.
After 21N06 expires, the SCR (converter) may remain covered under the original warranty terms and
conditions.
Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners.

Super Duty 2013-2016 Kentucky Truck April 16, 2012 through July 03, 2016

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS.
REASON FOR PROVIDING EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE
In all of the affected vehicles, the onboard diagnostic (OBD) system initially contained a software error
that prevented illumination of the malfunction indicator light (MIL) if a certain fault was present in the
SCR. Since the PCM was reprogrammed under Emissions Recall 21E01, the OBD system is now
able to detect this SCR fault previously masked by the software error and can light the MIL if faults are
found to be present.
 Copyright 2021 Ford Motor Company
REASON FOR PROVIDING EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE (continued)
It is possible that a) the SCR had a fault during its original warranty period and before Emissions
Recall 21E01 was completed, b) the PCM was reprogrammed after January 15, 2020, with an update
that already included the corrections included in 21E01 and since then the OBD system has now
identified a fault in the SCR, and c) the original warranty for the SCR has since expired. For customer
satisfaction, we are extending the warranty of the SCR (converter) to cover this possible pre-existing
fault situation.
SERVICE ACTION
If a vehicle exhibits MIL illumination with DTC P20EE present and the vehicle is still eligible for 21N06,
dealers are to provide a one-time repair of the SCR (converter). For Super Duty vehicles, the SCR is
part of the Catalyst and Particulate Filter Assembly. This service must be performed at no charge to
the vehicle owner.
NOTE: Vehicles are only eligible for 21N06 after Emissions Recall 21E01 has been claimed.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner Letters are expected to be mailed in the second quarter of 2021. For vehicles eligible for
21N06, dealers should repair any affected vehicles that experience an SCR (converter) fault related to
a P20EE DTC, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

PARTS RETENTION AND RETURN
Follow the provisions of the Warranty and Policy Manual, Section 1 – WARRANTY PARTS
RETENTION AND RETURN POLICIES.
EXCESS STOCK RETURN
Excess stock returned for credit must have been purchased from Ford Customer Service Division in
accordance with Policy Procedure Bulletin 4000.
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.).

REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF (continued)
• 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.

CATALYST REDUCTION SYSTEM WARRANTY EXTENSION
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTICE: Do not use silicone based sprays or lubricants on any components installed onto or
around the diesel exhaust system or intake air distribution and filtering system. Silicone
reacts with the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) sensor and may cause permanent damage to the
NOx sensor.
NOTE: Vehicles are only eligible for FSA 21N06 after FSA 21E01 has been claimed.
NOTE: After the 21E01 calibration, it may take several customer drive cycles for the new calibration to
recognize faults of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, which for the Super Duty is
part of the Catalyst and Particulate Filter Assembly.
1. Using the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool, check for DTC’s. Is DTC P20EE present?
Yes – Proceed to Step 2.
No – This FSA does not apply. For all other DTC’s, please refer to the Powertrain Control
and Emission Diagnostics (PC/ED) Manual for normal diagnostics as required.
2. Remove and discard the following components per vehicle:
– For Transit vehicles, replace the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Assembly.
Please follow the Workshop Manual procedures in Section 309-00C.
– For Super Duty vehicles, replace the Catalyst and Particulate Filter Assembly.
Please follow the Workshop Manual procedures in Section 309-00.
3. Install the following components per vehicle:
– For Transit vehicles, install a new Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Assembly.
Please follow the Workshop Manual procedures in Section 309-00C.
– For Super Duty vehicles, install a new Catalyst and Particulate Filter Assembly.
Please follow the Workshop Manual procedures in Section 309-00.
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.
