NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD –
Safety Recall 22S15 – Supplement #1
Certain 2021 Model Year F-150 Vehicles, Built Without Auto-Start-Stop
Powertrain Control Module Software Update
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
F-150 | 2021 | Dearborn Truck | July 28, 2021 through November 22, 2021 |
Kansas City | October 7, 2021 through December 20, 2021 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT
Updated owner letters will be mailed to notify customers that they now have the option of installing the software update through the Ford Power Up Software, or they can have their dealer perform the service for them.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0868 (Transmission Fluid Pressure Low) may falsely activate, and can do so at any vehicle speed. This DTC causes a wrench light to illuminate, and the transmission to shift into a neutral state. Once the vehicle coasts to a speed below 2 mph/3 kph, the electronic shifter will attempt to engage park. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the transmission will engage park. Transmission function may be restored upon a key-off/key-on cycle. A loss in vehicle mobility may increase the risk of crash.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to update the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software using FDRS. IDS cannot be used to complete this repair. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Initial owner letters were mailed the week of April 11, 2022. Updated owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of May 16, 2022, to notify customers that they now have the option of installing the software update through the Ford Power Up Software, or they can have their dealer perform the service for them. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
Note: Owners have been notified that transmission function may be restored upon a key-off/key-on cycle.
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.

CERTAIN 2021 MODEL YEAR F-150 VEHICLES – BUILT WITHOUT AUTO-START-STOP – POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE UPDATE
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Module Programming
NOTE: Program appropriate vehicle modules before performing diagnostics and clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) after programming. For DTC’s generated after programming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery.
NOTE: Verify that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12 volt battery negative terminal to prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle.
NOTE: If the diagnostic software does not load or if the vehicle cannot be identified properly, make sure there is a good internet connection and the Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) is properly connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
2. Log into Ford Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS).
NOTE: Vehicle information is automatically retrieved by the diagnostic software and a Network Test is run. Vehicle identification data appears on the screen when this is complete.
3. Click ‘Read VIN from Vehicle’ or manually enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
NOTE: Available modules are shown on the Left Hand (LH) side of the screen, and available procedures are listed on the Right Hand (RH) side of the screen. Modules that are communicating are highlighted in green.
4. Select Toolbox tab.
5. From the list on the LH side of the screen, select the PCM.
6. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select PCM – Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Software Update.
7. Click RUN. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully.
8. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select Self-Test and click RUN.
9. Click the Run Selected Tests button in the lower right.
10. Click the Clear & Retest button at the top of the screen to clear DTC’s in all modules.
11. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the programming has completed.
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 Vehicle Communication Module II (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 data link connector (DLC) and your PC.
b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and the PC. 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.
Chronology :
February – March 2022 On February 4th, Ford’s Driveline Engineering team brought an issue to Ford
’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) regarding loss-of-mobility reports on certain 2021MY F150 vehicles.
Specifically, Ford identified an increase in Transmission Fluid Pressure Low Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0868 codes being set on specific 2021MY F150 vehicles equipped with 3.5L GTDI, 2.7L and 5.0L engines and the 10R80 transmission. When this code is set, the vehicle transmission will enter a neutral state.
Engineering investigation found that one of the powertrain diagnostic logic software branches was turned on in error when these vehicles were produced. Under certain conditions, this diagnostic logic could inadvertently activate the Pump-Gear-Failure-Detection logic even though the hardware is functioning properly. When this occurs, the transmission on-board-diagnostics will set the DTC P0868, turn on a Wrench Light telltale, and the vehicle’s transmission will shift into a neutral state. As the vehicle slows to a speed below 2 mph/3kph, the electronic shifter will attempt to engage the Park function and will automatically shift into Park when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Transmission function can be immediately restored upon a key-off/key-on cycle.
CCRG analyzed the field data and trends. Between October 22, 2021 and February 9, 2022 there have been 28 warranty claims and one Customer Contact Center report to Ford potentially related to this concern. CCRG also reviewed the one (1) Vehicle Owner questionnaire (“VOQ”) report received by NHTSA concerning this issue.
On March 18, 2022, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

September, 2022 * * * IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL REMINDER * * * According to our records, your 2021 F-150 Ford Truck has not had necessary safety recall repairs made. We urge you to have the free repair performed at your local dealership as soon as possible. Recall Number and Description: 22S15 – Loss of Mobility – Trans Diagnostic Calibration for Non-Stop/Start Units What is the issue? Your vehicle may falsely detect that your transmission fluid pressure is too low, which can cause a wrench light to illuminate on the instrument panel cluster and the transmission to shift into a neutral state. This false detection can occur while driving and can occur at any speed. If it occurs, the vehicle will coast to a stop as if it is in Neutral, and the electronic shifter will attempt to engage Park below speeds of 2 mph/3 kph. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the electronic shifter will automatically shift into Park. A loss of vehicle mobility can increase the risk of crash. If you have questions or concerns, please contact our Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332. If you wish to contact us through the Internet, our address is: ford.com/support. Thank you for your attention to this very important matter.

SAMPLE 123 SAMPLE ST SAMPLE CITY, MI 12345-6789 * * * IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL * * * Safety Recall Notice 22S15 / NHTSA Recall 22V188 2021 F-150 Ford Truck Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Ford Motor Company has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in your vehicle, with the VIN shown above. We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this condition. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service and support. You are receiving this letter because your vehicle is able to be repaired remotely through Ford Power-Up Software Updates. Please review the “What will Ford and your dealer do?” section below for instructions. What is the issue? Your vehicle may falsely detect that your transmission fluid pressure is too low, which can cause a wrench light to illuminate on the instrument panel cluster and the transmission to shift into a neutral state. This false detection can occur while driving and can occur at any speed. If it occurs, the vehicle will coast to a stop as if it is in Neutral, and the electronic shifter will attempt to engage Park below speeds of 2 mph/3 kph. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the electronic shifter will automatically shift into Park. What is the risk? A loss of vehicle mobility can increase the risk of crash. What will Ford and your dealer do? Ford Motor Company has released software for 22S15. Your vehicle is capable of Ford Power-Up Software Updates. When Automatic Updates are turned ON (standard from the factory), the software will be downloaded to your vehicle over a private wi-fi network or through your vehicle’s modem through the cellular network. Before installing the software, you will have to schedule a day and time through your vehicle’s SYNC screen when you will not need the vehicle for up to 10 minutes so that the installation can complete. Note: Refer to ford.com/support for further information on your Ford Power-Up Software Updates system. 01351 22S15 OTA/DTB122S151 What will Ford and your dealer do? (continued) Should the software fail to load or install properly, Ford has authorized your dealer to install 22S15 software free of charge (parts and labor) under the terms of this program. How long will it take? The time needed for this software installation is approximately 10 minutes. If you prefer to go to your dealer for the software update, the time needed for this repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time. What should you do? For your convenience, Ford is encouraging you to update your vehicle’s software using Ford Power-Up Software Update capabilities. By utilizing this option, you should not need to take your vehicle to your dealer unless you’re unable to successfully perform the update. To complete this software update, your vehicle will have to be parked with the ignition off for a short period of time. Also, you will have to schedule the software installation through your vehicle’s SYNC screen (we suggest overnight or during work hours) to ensure that you will not need your vehicle during the update. You can check the progress of the installation via the icons on the in-vehicle screen, FordPass app, or on the Owner website. If you choose to have your dealer install this software, please call your dealer to schedule a service appointment for Recall 22S15. 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. You can continue to safely drive your vehicle. Should you experience the symptoms described above while waiting for your appointment, transmission function may be restored with a key-off/key-on cycle. If transmission function is not restored after a key-off/key-on cycle, contact your dealer and request your vehicle be towed. If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access ford.com/support for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions. Ford Motor Company wants you to have this safety recall completed on your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have the work completed. Ford Motor Company can deny coverage for any vehicle damage that may result from the failure to have this recall performed on a timely basis. Therefore, please have this recall performed as soon as possible. Please note: Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days. NOTE: You can receive information about Recalls and Customer Satisfaction Programs through our FordPass App. The app can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play. In addition, there are other features such as reserving parking in certain locations and controlling certain functions on your vehicle (lock or unlock doors, remote start) if it is equipped to allow control. COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) Ford dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both your safety and the safety of dealership employees. This includes specific procedures for cleaning and disinfecting customer vehicles before and after each vehicle is serviced.

(continuación) Antes de instalar el software, deberá programar un día y hora a través de la pantalla de SYNC del vehículo, en algún momento que no necesite el vehículo durante unos 10 minutos, de modo que se pueda realizar la instalación. Nota: Consulte ford.com/support para obtener información adicional sobre el sistema de Actualizaciones de software de Ford Power-Up. Si el software no se puede cargar o instalar correctamente, Ford ha autorizado a su distribuidor a instalar el software de 22S15 sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra), conforme a los términos de este programa. ¿Cuánto tiempo tomará? El tiempo requerido para la instalación de este software es, aproximadamente, 10 minutos. Si prefiere ir al distribuidor para realizar la actualización del software, el tiempo necesario para esta reparación será de menos de medio día. Sin embargo, debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su distribuidor tarde un poco más. ¿Qué debe hacer? Para su conveniencia, Ford le recomienda que actualice usted mismo el software del vehículo con las capacidades de actualización de software de Ford Power-Up. Al utilizar esta opción, no será necesario que lleve el vehículo al distribuidor, a menos que no pueda realizar correctamente la actualización. Para realizar esta actualización de software, el vehículo deberá estar estacionado con el encendido apagado durante un breve lapso. Adicionalmente, deberá programar la instalación del software a través de la pantalla de SYNC (sugerimos hacerlo durante la noche o durante horas de trabajo), para asegurarse de que no necesitará el vehículo durante la actualización. Puede comprobar el progreso de la instalación a través de los iconos en la pantalla en el vehículo, en la aplicación FordPass o en el sitio web del propietario. Si opta por que el distribuidor instale este software, llame para programar una cita de servicio para la Campaña 22S15.

New! REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT Updated owner letters will be mailed to notify customers that they now have the option of installing the software update through the Ford Power Up Software, or they can have their dealer perform the service for them. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0868 (Transmission Fluid Pressure Low) may falsely activate, and can do so at any vehicle speed. This DTC causes a wrench light to illuminate, and the transmission to shift into a neutral state. Once the vehicle coasts to a speed below 2 mph/3 kph, the electronic shifter will attempt to engage park. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the transmission will engage park. Transmission function may be restored upon a key-off/key-on cycle. A loss in vehicle mobility may increase the risk of crash. SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to update the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software using FDRS. IDS cannot be used to complete this repair. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. New! OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Initial owner letters were mailed the week of April 11, 2022. Updated owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of May 16, 2022, to notify customers that they now have the option of installing the software update through the Ford Power Up Software, or they can have their dealer perform the service for them. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter. Note: Owners have been notified that transmission function may be restored upon a key-off/key-on cycle. Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company PLEASE NOTE: Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee.

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. Version 04-23-19 Ford Motor Company Recall Reimbursement Plan for 22S15 – Supplement #1 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 # 22S15, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to April 29, 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.

These vehicles are not produced in VIN order. Information as to the applicability of this action to specific vehicles can best be obtained by either calling Ford’s toll-free line (1-866-436-7332) or by contacting a local Ford or Lincoln dealer who can obtain specific information regarding the vehicles from the Ford On-line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) database. Production Dates : JUL 28, 2021 – DEC 20, 2021 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : The Transmission Fluid Pressure Low Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may falsely activate and cause the transmission to shift into a neutral state. This can occur at any speed. If a false activation occurs, the vehicle will coast to a stop as if it is in Neutral, and the electronic shifter will attempt to engage Park below speeds of 2 mph/3 kph. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the electronic shifter will automatically shift into Park. FMVSS 1 : NR Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-188 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : A loss of motive power while driving can increase the risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : A transmission calibration diagnostic logic was inadvertently activated for certain vehicles without Auto Start-Stop technology. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : A wrench light will illuminate when this occurs. Transmission function can be restored upon a key-off/key-on cycle.

Specifically, Ford identified an increase in Transmission Fluid Pressure Low Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0868 codes being set on specific 2021MY F150 vehicles equipped with 3.5L GTDI, 2.7L and 5.0L engines and the 10R80 transmission. When this code is set, the vehicle transmission will enter a neutral state. Engineering investigation found that one of the powertrain diagnostic logic software branches was turned on in error when these vehicles were produced. Under certain conditions, this diagnostic logic could inadvertently activate the Pump-Gear-Failure-Detection logic even though the hardware is functioning properly. When this occurs, the transmission on-board-diagnostics will set the DTC P0868, turn on a Wrench Light telltale, and the vehicle’s transmission will shift into a neutral state. As the vehicle slows to a speed below 2 mph/3kph, the electronic shifter will attempt to engage the Park function and will automatically shift into Park when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Transmission function can be immediately restored upon a key-off/key-on cycle. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-188 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 CCRG analyzed the field data and trends. Between October 22, 2021 and February 9, 2022 there have been 28 warranty claims and one Customer Contact Center report to Ford potentially related to this concern. CCRG also reviewed the one (1) Vehicle Owner questionnaire (“VOQ”) report received by NHTSA concerning this issue. On March 18, 2022, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action. Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software updated per standard workshop manual procedures. There will be no charge for this service. Ford provided the general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners prior to notification of a safety recall in May 2021. The ending date for reimbursement eligibility is April 29, 2022. Ford will forward a copy of the notification letters to dealers to the agency when available. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Updated PCM software deactivates the unintended transmission diagnostic logic which is not required for these vehicles.

Involved Components : Component Name 1 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BGA Component Name 2 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BLA Component Name 3 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BMA Component Name 4 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-RAH Component Name 5 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BFB Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-188 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Component Name 6 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BJB Component Name 7 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BHA Component Name 8 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BKA Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : NR Address : NR NR Country : NR Chronology : February – March 2022 On February 4th, Ford’s Driveline Engineering team brought an issue to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) regarding loss-of-mobility reports on certain 2021MY F150 vehicles. Specifically, Ford identified an increase in Transmission Fluid Pressure Low Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0868 codes being set on specific 2021MY F150 vehicles equipped with 3.5L GTDI, 2.7L and 5.0L engines and the 10R80 transmission. When this code is set, the vehicle transmission will enter a neutral state. Engineering investigation found that one of the powertrain diagnostic logic software branches was turned on in error when these vehicles were produced. Under certain conditions, this diagnostic logic could inadvertently activate the Pump-Gear-Failure-Detection logic even though the hardware is functioning properly. When this occurs, the transmission on-board-diagnostics will set the DTC P0868, turn on a Wrench Light telltale, and the vehicle’s transmission will shift into a neutral state. As the vehicle slows to a speed below 2 mph/3kph, the electronic shifter will attempt to engage the Park function and will automatically shift into Park when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Transmission function can be immediately restored upon a key-off/key-on cycle. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-188 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 CCRG analyzed the field data and trends. Between October 22, 2021 and February 9, 2022 there have been 28 warranty claims and one Customer Contact Center report to Ford potentially related to this concern. CCRG also reviewed the one (1) Vehicle Owner questionnaire (“VOQ”) report received by NHTSA concerning this issue. On March 18, 2022, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action. Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software updated per standard workshop manual procedures. There will be no charge for this service. Ford provided the general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners prior to notification of a safety recall in May 2021. The ending date for reimbursement eligibility is April 29, 2022. Ford will forward a copy of the notification letters to dealers to the agency when available. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Updated PCM software deactivates the unintended transmission diagnostic logic which is not required for these vehicles. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : NR Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Notification to dealers is expected to occur on March 29, 2022. Mailing of owner notification letters is expected to begin May 2, 2022 and is expected to be completed by May 6, 2022. Planned Dealer Notification Date : MAR 29, 2022 – MAR 29, 2022 Planned Owner Notification Date : MAY 02, 2022 – MAY 06, 2022 * NR – Not Reported
