SEOCONTENT-START

 Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company David J. Johnson Ford Motor Company Director P. O. Box 1904 Service Engineering Operations Dearborn, Michigan 48121 Ford Customer Service Division February 17, 2022 TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Safety Recall 22S08 Certain 2021-2022 Model Year Econoline Vehicles Equipped with Dual Rear Wheels Hydroboost or Hydromax® Power Steering Pressure Line Inspection AFFECTED VEHICLES Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates Econoline 2021-2022 Ohio Assembly May 11, 2019 through June 17, 2021 Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles, the power steering pressure line may be inadequately connected to the brake Hydroboost unit, which may result in a leak or sudden loss of power steering fluid. Sudden loss of power steering fluid may result in a loss of power steering assist, requiring increased steering effort, and loss of power brake assist, requiring increased force on the pedal to brake, potentially resulting in increased stopping distance. A sudden loss of power steering assist and power brake assist increases the risk of a crash. SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to inspect the power steering pressure line at the quick-connect fitting. If the connection fails the inspection described in Attachment III, the power steering lines will be replaced. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of March 7, 2022. 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.

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.

Version 04-23-19 Ford Motor Company Recall Reimbursement Plan for 22S08 Ford and Lincoln dealers are in the best position to quickly and efficiently process reimbursement requests. However, federal legislation requires all motor vehicle manufacturers to establish processes through which customers may seek recall reimbursement directly from the manufacturer or from the dealers. Regarding the specific reimbursement plan for Recall # 22S08, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to March 25, 2022. After this date, if repairs related to this recall are performed by a non-Ford repair facility in an emergency situation, customers must submit any refund requests through their dealership. As required by this federal regulation, Ford Motor Company submitted the details of its latest General Recall Reimbursement Plan in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in May 2021. The following is the text of that letter and the Plan: General Recall Reimbursement Plan (As submitted to the NHTSA) Pursuant to the requirements set forth in 49 CFR Part 573 and Part 577 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Ford Motor Company (Ford) is submitting required information pertaining to our general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners before they are notified of a related safety recall. Set forth below is Ford’s general plan to reimburse owners and purchasers for costs incurred for remedies in advance of notification of potential safely-related defects or noncompliances pursuant to Part 573.6 (c)(8)(i). This plan has not changed since our February 20, 2019 submission. Reimbursement Notification Ford’s notice to a vehicle owner in accordance with 49 CFR Part 577 will indicate that Ford is offering a refund if the owner paid to have service to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to a specified ending date. In accordance with Part 573.13 (c)(2), this ending date will be defined as a minimum of ten calendar days after the date on which Ford mailed the last of its Part 577 notifications to owners, and will be indicated in the specific reimbursement plan available to owners for an individual recall. This notice will direct owners to seek eligible reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford at the following address: Ford Motor Company P.O. Box 6251 Dearborn, MI 48121-6251 Ford notes that this rule allows for the identification of a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility. Under the rule, an owner who paid to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to the identified beginning date would not be eligible for reimbursement. Ford generally has not established such a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility and does not presently anticipate changing this general policy. However, in any case where Ford determines a beginning date is appropriate, Ford will indicate that date in the owner notice. As permitted by 577.11(e), Ford may not include a reimbursement notification when all vehicles are well within the warranty period, subject to approval by the agency. Version 04-23-19 Costs to be Reimbursed For vehicles, reimbursement will not be less than the lesser of:  The amount paid by the owner for the remedy that specifically addressed and was reasonably necessary to correct the defect or noncompliance that is the subject of the recall, or  The cost of parts for the remedy (to be no more than the manufacturer’s list retail price for authorized part(s), plus associated labor at local labor rates, miscellaneous fees (such as disposal of waste) and taxes. For replacement equipment, reimbursement will be the amount paid by the owner for the replacement item (limited by the amount of the retail list price of the defective or noncompliant item that was replaced, plus taxes, where the brand or model purchased by the owner was different than the brand or model that was the subject of the recall). If the item of motor vehicle equipment was repaired, the reimbursement provisions identified above for vehicles will apply. Ford notes that costs incurred by the owner within the period during which Ford’s original or extended warranty would have provided for a free repair of the problem will not be eligible for reimbursement, as provided by Part 573.13 (d)(1). Entities Authorized to Provide Reimbursement Ford will continue to use authorized dealers to reimburse owners under the specific reimbursement plans for a particular recall, and will encourage owners to pursue requests for reimbursement directly through dealers to expedite reimbursement. Ford will also provide a mailing address to which customers can, at their option, send requests for reimbursement directly to Ford, as previously noted. Requests for reimbursement sent directly to Ford may take up to 60 days to process. Whether the owner chooses to pursue reimbursement requests through a dealer or directly through Ford, the owner will be directed to submit the required documentation, upon which reimbursement eligibility will be determined. Required Documentation The reimbursement determination will depend upon the information provided by the customer. Consistent with Part 573.13 (d)(4) the following information must be submitted:  Claimant name and address  Vehicle make, model, and model year  Vehicle identification number (VIN) and, for replacement equipment, a description of such equipment or, for tires, the model, size and TIN (DOT code)  Identification of the recall number (either the Ford recall number or the NHTSA recall number)  Identification of the owner of the recalled vehicle at the time that the pre-notification remedy was obtained  An original receipt for the pre-notification remedy that includes a breakdown of the amount for parts, labor, other costs and taxes, including costs for the replacement item. Where the receipt covers work other than to address the recall or noncompliance, Ford may require the claimant to separately identify costs that are eligible for reimbursement.  If the remedy was obtained during the warranty period, documentation indicating that the warranty was not honored or the warranty repair did not correct the problem related to the recall. Failure to submit all of the above information may result in denial of the reimbursement request. Version 04-23-19 Additional Information The Part 577 required owner notice will provide a toll-free telephone number through which specific information about the reimbursement plan can be requested from Ford. This general reimbursement plan will be incorporated into notifications pursuant to Part 573.6 by reference. Information specific to an individual recall also may be incorporated into the Part 573.6 notification.

Ford Customer Service Division © Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company 13111 22S08/DTB122S081 2 of 4 A/2/000001/1 * * * CAMPAÑA DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTE * * * Aviso de campaña de seguridad 22S08 / Campaña 22V089 de la NHTSA 2021 E-350 Econoline Número de identificación del vehículo (VIN): Este aviso se le envía de acuerdo con la Ley Nacional de Seguridad y Tránsito de Vehículos de los EE. UU. Ford Motor Company ha determinado que su vehículo presenta un defecto relacionado con la seguridad del motor, 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? La tubería de presión de la dirección hidráulica de su vehículo podría estar conectada de forma inadecuada a la unidad de HydroBoost del freno, lo cual podría ocasionar una fuga o una pérdida repentina de fluido de la dirección hidráulica. ¿Qué riesgo existe? Una pérdida repentina del fluido de la dirección hidráulica podría generar una pérdida de la asistencia de la dirección hidráulica, lo cual implica un mayor esfuerzo en la dirección y una pérdida de la asistencia de frenado eléctrico, lo que se traduce en una mayor fuerza sobre el pedal del freno; esto potencialmente podría traducirse en una mayor distancia de frenado. Una pérdida repentina de la asistencia de la dirección hidráulica y de la asistencia de frenado eléctrico aumenta el riesgo de choque. ¿Qué medidas adoptarán Ford y su distribuidor? Ford Motor Company ha autorizado a su distribuidor a inspeccionar las tuberías de presión de la dirección hidráulica en la conexión rápida y, si fuera necesario, a reemplazar dichas tuberías, 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. Es posible que se necesite más tiempo para permitir que el motor se enfríe antes de realizar esta reparación. Además, se realizará una inspección del vehículo para determinar si se deben solicitar piezas. ¿Qué debe hacer? Llame de inmediato al distribuidor y solicite una cita de servicio para realizar la campaña 22S08. 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 ha emitido 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 ford.com/support 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. Ford Motor Company puede negar la cobertura en caso de que el vehículo hubiese sufrido daños por no haber realizado la campaña de manera oportuna. 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 13111 22S08/DTB122S081 Marzo de 2022 Ford Motor Company División de Servicio al Cliente de Ford P.

Si su distribuidor determina que es necesario efectuar el reemplazo de la tubería de la dirección hidráulica y el vehículo debe permanecer en las instalaciones durante la noche, el distribuidor está autorizado a ofrecerle un vehículo de alquiler para su transporte personal sin costo (excepto combustible y seguro) mientras su vehículo se encuentre en reparación. Comuníquese con su distribuidor para conocer las pautas y limitaciones. ¿Ha pagado anteriormente por esta reparación?
