Owner letters were mailed the week of May 16, 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.
SOLD VEHICLES
- Ford has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this safety Owners should contact their dealer for an appointment to have their vehicles remedied as soon as practicable. Owners can continue to safely drive their vehicles. Immediately contact any of your affected customers whose vehicles are not on your VIN list but are identified in OASIS. Give the customer a copy of the Owner Notification Letter (when available) and schedule a service date.
- Correct other affected vehicles identified in OASIS which are brought to your dealership.
- Dealers are to prioritize repairs of customer vehicles over repairs of new and used vehicle inventory.
STOCK VEHICLES
- Correct all affected units in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
- Use OASIS to identify any affected vehicles in your used vehicle inventory.

5. Remove the Interior Rear View Mirror. Please follow WSM procedures in Section 501-09.
6. Apply tape to the A-pillar and roof edge to protect from paint damage. See Figure 3.
7. Remove the windshield using a cold knife or a piano wire cut out tool.
8. Remove the tape from the A-pillar and roof edge.
9. Inspect the windshield for possible damage. Is there any damage to the windshield?
Yes – Replace the windshield. Proceed to Step 10.
No – Re-install the original windshield. Proceed to Step 12.
NOTE: Damage to the alignment pins does not require windshield replacement.
10. Use glass cleaner to clean the surface of the new windshield to be installed.
11. Remove and transfer any necessary components onto the new windshield, then proceed to step 14.
12. Using a utility knife or razor blade scraper with a new blade at roughly a 30 degree angle, completely remove the urethane and primer from the windshield, leaving the cowl windshield molding intact. See Figure 4.
- To ensure best results, use one razor blade per side and cut in a single direction. More than one pass will be required to remove all of the primer and urethane from the surface of the glass.
NOTICE: Do not scrape the razor blade back and forth.
NOTICE: If the urethane and primer cannot be completely removed from the surface of the windshield, it must be replaced.
13. Prepare the windshield for installation.
a. Clean the bonding surface using a new lint-free wiping tissue moistened with acetone for each edge of the windshield. Wipe in a single direction using constant pressure to remove any contaminants. Repeat this step two additional times.
b. Clean the bonding surface using a new lint-free wiping tissue moistened with isopropyl alcohol for each edge of the windshield. Wipe in a single direction using constant pressure to remove any contaminants. Repeat this step two additional times.
14. Apply window primer according to the manufacturer’s instructions to the windshield. Allow dry time.

15. Prepare the vehicle pinch weld. See Figure 5.
a. Trim the original urethane adhesive using a utility knife, leaving a 1 mm to 2 mm (0.04 in to 0.08 in) base on the pinch weld.
b. Remove any foreign material or dirt from the pinch weld using a soft brush or vacuum.
c. If any of the pinch weld metal was exposed during windshield removal or urethane bead trimming, apply primer to the exposed metal.
– If using Dow® brand products, apply Dow® BETAPRIME™ 5504G primer.
– If using Sika® brand products, apply Sika® Primer-207 primer.
NOTE: Removal of urethane for the body side should follow normal urethane removal for windshield replacement or re-seal.
NOTICE: The windshield must be installed within 2 hours of cutting the urethane adhesive. Cut or scraped urethane becomes oxidized and inactive beyond 2 hours, reducing the effectiveness of the repair bond.
16. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification. See Figure 6.
Material: Sika® SikaTack® MACH 60 / Sika® SikaTack® MACH 30 / Dow® BETASEAL™ Express
Material: Sika Tack ASAP Urethane Adhesive
17. Apply a urethane adhesive bead. See Figure 7.
1. Start and end at the original overlap points to prevent air and water leaks.
2. Apply a urethane adhesive bead 14 mm (0.551 in) high and 8 mm (0.314 in) wide on top of the existing trimmed urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld.
3. Make sure there are no gaps in the bead.
NOTICE: Make sure the urethane bead is uniform to prevent air and water leaks.
NOTE: The fixed glass must be installed within 10 minutes of applying the urethane adhesive.
NOTE: Use a power caulk gun that applies the urethane adhesive with less effort and a continuous bead.
18. Open the vehicle windows to prevent the air pressure of closing doors from compromising the urethane adhesive bond.
NOTICE: The door windows must be left open during the adhesive curing time.
19. Install the fixed glass to the vehicle.
1. Install the fixed glass, pressing firmly by hand to ensure a good bond.
2. Secure the fixed glass in the correct position with tape until the urethane adhesive has cured.
WARNING: Do not drive vehicle until the urethane adhesive seal has cured. Follow urethane adhesive manufacturer’s curing directions. Inadequate or incorrect curing of the urethane adhesive seal will adversely affect glass retention. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
20. Re-install all previously removed components by reversing steps 4-5.
21. After the windshield has been properly installed and the urethane has dried per the manufacturer’s instructions, carry out the Image Processing Module A (IPMA) Camera alignment using a scan tool.
NOTE: This step only applies if equipped with an IPMA Camera.

Ford Motor Company
Date of Submission: March 25, 2022
FSA Number: 22S20
Title: 2016, 2020 Transit Connect Windshield Inadequate Adhesion
On July 31, 2019, due to an increase in field claims related to 2016-2018MY Transit Connect windshield water leak, wind noise,and looseness Ford Manufacturing and Engineering brought this concern to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) for review.
From July 2019-January 2021 Ford’s CCRG investigated field reports and field return windshields with Engineering. Claims primarily described instances of water leak with a smaller number of claims describing wind noise or windshield glass looseness. There were no reports of windshield glass detachment from the vehicle. CCRG and Engineering also collected six 20152016 model year windshield samples from customers who had reported symptoms of water leak or glass looseness. After reviewing field reports and returned parts, CCRG determined that the failures primarily related to minor wind noise and water leaks associated with limited adhesion issues and were not safety-related.
From February 2021-April 2021, Ford’s Technical Review Group (TRG) reviewed available claim data and assessments of the vehicles’ performance to requirements for windshield mounting. The six field return windshields analyzed, along with details of field claims reviewed, led TRG to conclude the degree of inadequate urethane adhesion observed in the six field return windshields was not adequately representative of the overall population of vehicles. CCRG’s detailed review of hundreds of claims described limited portions of the windshield periphery that experienced inadequate adhesion, whereas the field return parts show a greater degree of inadequate urethane adhesion. Based upon the assessment of all of the available information, the CCRG determined that an unreasonable risk to safety did not exist and put the investigation into monitor status for regular review of any subsequent related claims which were received.
From April 2021-September 2021 the investigation was in monitor status.
In September 2021, during a monitor data review, CCRG observed an increase in warranty claims related to windshield water leak or glass looseness for 2020MY vehicles at 12 months in service. A review of warranty claim data for the 2020MY vehicles described similar symptoms as the previously studied population of 2015-2016MY vehicles of primarily water leak with a smaller number of claims describing wind noise or looseness of the glass. There were no reports of windshield glass detachment from the vehicle.
From September 2021-January 2022 Ford’s CCRG investigated the 2020MY claims with Engineering. CCRG and Engineering also collected one 2020MY windshield sample from a customer repaired under vehicle warranty who reported water leakage.
From January 2021-March 2022 Ford’s TRG reviewed additional claim data and both supplier and Ford manufacturing processes and controls during the period of elevated 2020MY warranty claims. TRG reevaluated all field return samples and claim details collected during the course of the investigation, confirmed samples were randomly selected, and concluded the assessment of field return samples may be representative of the larger population of vehicles produced during periods of elevated claims for this condition.
2016MY Affected Population Warranty and Field Reports:
As of February 8, 2022, there are approximately 217 warranty claims describing windshield adhesion issues. The earliest warranty report describing a windshield adhesion issue was from August 2016.
Ford has received approximately 325 field reports from August 2016-October 2021.
2020MY Affected Population Warranty and Field Reports:
As of February 8, 2022, there are approximately 146 warranty claims describing windshield adhesion issues. The earliest warranty report describing a windshield adhesion issue was from March 2020.
Ford has received approximately 64 field reports from December 2020-February 2022
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.

UU. Ford Motor Company ha determinado que existe un defecto relacionado con la seguridad de su vehículo, 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? Es posible que partes importantes del parabrisa de su vehículo no estén correctamente adheridas al vehículo. ¿Qué riesgo existe? Un parabrisa inadecuadamente adherido podría no permanecer sujeto en un choque, lo cual aumenta el riesgo de que un ocupante sufra alguna lesión. Los vehículos afectados podrían experimentar un mayor ruido de viento, fugas de agua o flojedad del cristal del parabrisa. ¿Qué medidas adoptarán Ford y su distribuidor? Ford Motor Company ha autorizado a su distribuidor a resellar el parabrisa 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. Además, su vehículo requerirá una inspección para determinar si es necesario pedir piezas. ¿Qué debe hacer? Llame de inmediato al distribuidor y solicite una cita de servicio para realizar la campaña 22S20. 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.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles, significant portions of the windshield may have inadequately adhered to the vehicle. An improperly adhered windshield may not stay adequately retained in a crash, which may increase the risk of injury to an occupant. Affected vehicles could experience increased wind noise, water leaks, or looseness of the windshield glass. SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to reseal the affected build date windshield. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Owner letters were mailed the week of May 16, 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 a replaced part receives a scrap disposition, the part must be scrapped in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal environmental protection and hazardous material regulations. Federal law prohibits selling motor vehicle parts or components that are under safety, compliance, or emissions recall. 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.). 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 22S20 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 # 22S20, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to May 30, 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 noncompliance 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.

Box 1904 Service Engineering Operations Dearborn, Michigan 48121 Ford Customer Service Division March 28, 2022 TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Advance Notice – Safety Recall 22S20 Certain 2016 and 2020 Model Year Transit Connect Vehicles Windshield Reseal AFFECTED VEHICLES Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates Transit Connect 2016 Valencia 01-December-2015 through 30-June-2016 Transit Connect 2020 Valencia 01-November-2019 through 29-February-2020 Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL On some of the affected vehicles, inadequate urethane adhesion may exist between the windshield and the vehicle around significant portions of the glass. An improperly adhered windshield may not stay adequately retained in a crash, which may increase the risk of injury to an occupant. Affected vehicles could experience increased wind noise, water leaks or looseness of the windshield glass. SERVICE ACTION DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this safety recall. A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers the early to mid-2nd qtr. 2022 when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this safety recall. IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is published. Opening an RO against an Awareness or Advance Notice will result in warranty rejections against a recall. CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION Owners of record will be notified via first-class mail after repair instructions and parts ordering information have been provided to dealers. 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 prior to delivery.
