FSA #22S23- Certain 2022 model year Lincoln Aviator vehicles Power Head Restraint Bun
Engagement
Chronology
On February 22, 2022, an issue pertaining to 2022 MY Aviator power head restraint foam buns that could detach was brought to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group for review by Chicago Assembly Plant (CAP) PVT and PD.
The issue was initially detected on Navigators at the Ford Kentucky Truck Plant (KTP) on January 31, 2022. All affected Navigators were contained by KTP. PD and KTP and CAP PVTs conducted a program read across for this head restraint design and identified that the 2022 MY Aviator uses the same head restraint system.
On February 10, 2022, containment actions were put into place at CAP and a clean point of February 14, 2022, was established. Between the implementation (2022 MY) of this Gen2 head restraint on Aviator and the clean point, a total of 1,417 Aviator vehicles were built and shipped globally with suspect head restraints.
The issue was investigated by PD and the supplier in February and March. They discovered that the incorrect spring force was used, and the force was not strong enough to engage forward hard stop on head restraint to bun sleeves. PD and the supplier investigated further to understand why the condition was not occurring consistently and concluded that this condition could only exist after the head restraint is cycled a minimum of 30 times and motor logic is in calibration mode. Once in calibration mode, the soft motor stops are disabled, and the motor will utilize the hard stops to recalibrate the bun fore/aft location. If the bun is moved full forward and the hard stop does not function properly due to the insufficient spring force, the bun will continue to move forward until it detaches from the head restraint assembly.
The Technical Review Group met on March 9, 2022 and determined it would be beneficial to allow members of the CCRG team to evaluate the condition to better understand the failure mode and use conditions that cause the failure mode. A vehicle review was held on March 18.
The concern only affects 2022 MY as a new head restraint was implemented for the 2022 MY. The prior design utilized a different mechanism for engaging forward hard stop.
On April 7, 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

What will Lincoln and your dealer do? Lincoln is working closely with its suppliers to produce parts for this repair. When parts become available, Lincoln will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer to have the front-row passenger and driver head restraints replaced, free of charge (parts and labor). Parts are anticipated to be available by the end of 2nd quarter 2022. What should you do? When parts are available, Lincoln will send a letter to inform you that parts are available and to contact your dealer to schedule a repair. Lincoln has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety recall. When parts are available, you should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable. You can continue to safely drive your vehicle if you discontinue usage of the head restraint power adjust feature. It should be kept in the furthest rearward position while operating the vehicle. If your head restraint cushion is loose or detached, please contact your dealer.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles, with 30-way power adjustable front memory seats, the front driver and passenger head restraint cushion could detach from the adjuster mechanism. A detached head restraint cushion increases the risk of injury during a crash. SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to replace the front driver and passenger head restraints. Due to limited part supply, dealers must submit a part request, including a copy of the signed sales agreement for stock units, to the Special Service Support Center (SSSC). 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 July 25, 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.

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 22S23 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 # 22S23, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to May 27, 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. 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. Version 04-23-19 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. 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.
