Chronology :
On February 10, 2022, Ford’s Chihuahua Engine Plant (ChEP1) contacted the Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) about a potential concern related to 2.5L Escape Engine failures.
On February 11, 2022, CCRG opened a formal investigation into this matter.
Investigation revealed that between February 22 and February 23, 2021, ChEP1 produced 25 crankshafts with potentially out of specification surface finish on crankshaft connecting rod journal #4 due to an emery lapping tape breakage that resulted in incomplete polishing. The 25 suspect crankshafts were not contained.
Subsequent investigation showed that the 25 suspect crankshafts were included on a pallet of 200 parts that was forwarded to the engine assembly area. Plant records indicate the crankshafts could have been installed in any of 199 suspect engines. The 199 suspect engines were traced to 204 vehicles based on Louisville Assembly Plant traceability records (including 163 vehicles in the U.S.).
A search of Ford’s warranty database identified 15 warranty claims, including 8 claims in the U.S., for engine replacement including one report of engine stall while driving because of connecting rod bearing failure on 2021 model year Escape HEV vehicles with 2.5L engine. Warranty claims were received between May 18, 2021 and February 11, 2022.
Field return analysis indicated that the 15 failed engines have crankshafts from a batch that was produced on February 22, 2021, at ChEP1.
On February 18, 2022, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
Our investigation did not identify any accidents or injuries relating to this condition.

Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service and support. What is the issue? On your vehicle, the crankshaft, located in the engine, may have an improperly polished bearing surface. What is the risk?

Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to inspect the crankshaft bearing in the engine of your vehicle and replace the engine if necessary free of charge (parts and labor). How long will it take? The time needed for the inspection is less than one day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time. Additional time may be required to allow the engine to cool prior to performing this repair. What should you do? Please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall 22S10. 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.

Si el motor de su vehículo tiene ruidos, llévelo al distribuidor para realizar un diagnóstico. ¿Qué medidas adoptarán Ford y su distribuidor? Ford Motor Company ha autorizado a su distribuidor a inspeccionar el cojinete del cigüeñal en el motor de su vehículo y, si fuera necesario, a reemplazar el motor, sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra). ¿Cuánto tiempo tomará? El tiempo necesario para la inspección será menos de un 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. ¿Qué debe hacer? Llame a su distribuidor lo antes posible y solicite una cita de servicio para llevar a cabo la campaña 22S10. 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.

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 22S10 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 # 22S10, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to March 11, 2023. After this date, if repairs related to this recall are performed by a non-Ford repair facility in an emergency, 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.
