REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles equipped with a power adjustable steering column (telescopic), the wiring harness takeout for the deployable column Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) connector may be an incorrect length. A wiring takeout that is too short may become damaged and separate from the deployable column SRS connector when the steering column is adjusted outward using the steering column control switch. A damaged or disconnected deployable column SRS connector will illuminate the airbag warning indicator and prevent the collapsible steering column feature from operating properly during certain crash conditions, increasing the risk of injury.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to inspect the deployable column SRS connector wiring takeout for the correct length. If the length is determined to be too short, a new wiring pigtail is to be installed and the steering column deployable column SRS connector inspected for damage. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

© 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 April 19, 2022 TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD Safety Recall 22S24 Certain 2022 Model Year F-150 Vehicles Equipped with Power Adjustable Steering Column – Deployable Column Connector Wiring Harness Takeout Length Inspection AFFECTED VEHICLES Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates Dearborn Truck September 14, 2021 through February 25, 2022 F-150 2022 Kansas City October 22, 2021 through February 24, 2022 Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles equipped with a power adjustable steering column (telescopic), the wiring harness takeout for the deployable column Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) connector may be an incorrect length. A wiring takeout that is too short may become damaged and separate from the deployable column SRS connector when the steering column is adjusted outward using the steering column control switch. A damaged or disconnected deployable column SRS connector will illuminate the airbag warning indicator and prevent the collapsible steering column feature from operating properly during certain crash conditions, increasing the risk of injury. SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to inspect the deployable column SRS connector wiring takeout for the correct length. If the length is determined to be too short, a new wiring pigtail is to be installed and the steering column deployable column SRS connector inspected for damage. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. NOTE: Parts are currently not available in sufficient quantities to repair all vehicles. Part orders can be requested through the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) using the SSSC link at the bottom of the OASIS VIN report screen to repair vehicles that meet the following criteria only: • Affected customer vehicles that arrive at your dealership. • New in-stock vehicles with a signed sales contract. OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of May 9, 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.

Owner names and addresses are expected to be available by July 31, 2022. NOTE: Your FSA VIN Lists may contain owner names and addresses obtained from motor vehicle registration records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than in connection with this recall is a violation of law in several states, provinces, and countries. Accordingly, you must limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this recall. SOLD VEHICLES • Ford has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this safety recall. Owners should contact their dealer for an appointment to have their vehicles remedied as soon as practicable once parts become available. Owners can continue to safely drive their vehicles. To reduce the likelihood of wiring damage, owners should refrain from adjusting their steering column outward until the vehicle can be inspected. If the airbag warning indicator illuminates, owners should schedule a repair. • 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 • Inspect all affected units in your new vehicle inventory before delivery. Due to a limited quantity of repair parts, the initial repair of in stock units will be limited to vehicles with a signed sales contract. • Use OASIS to identify any affected vehicles in your used vehicle inventory. DEALER-OPERATED RENTAL VEHICLES The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act law effective June 2016 prohibits a rental company from selling, renting or leasing vehicles subject to a safety or compliance recall. Please consult your legal counsel for legal advice. TITLE BRANDED / SALVAGED VEHICLES Affected title branded and salvaged vehicles are eligible for this recall. © Copyright 2022 Ford Motor Company NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD Safety Recall 22S24 ATTACHMENT I Page 2 of 3 Certain 2022 Model Year F-150 Vehicles Equipped with Power Adjustable Steering Column Deployable Column Connector Wiring Harness Takeout Length Inspection OWNER REFUNDS • This safety recall must still be performed, even if the owner has paid for a previous repair.

Owners are directed to seek reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford Motor Company at P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, MI 48121- 6251. • Dealers are also pre-approved to refund owner-paid emergency repairs that were performed away from an authorized servicing dealer after the end date specified in the reimbursement plan. Non-covered repairs, or those judged by Ford to be excessive, will not be reimbursed. • Refunds will only be provided for the cost associated with the repair of the deployable column SRS connector wiring. RENTAL VEHICLES Dealers are pre-approved for up to 1 day for a rental vehicle if the inspection determines a wiring repair is necessary. Follow Extended Service Plan (ESP) guidelines for dollar amounts. Rentals will only be reimbursed for the day(s) the vehicle is at the dealership for part replacement. Prior approval for more than 1 rental day is required from the SSSC. Contact the SSSC via the SSSC Web Contact Site for consideration and approval if appropriate.

CPR © 2022 FORD MOTOR COMPANY DEARBORN, MICHIGAN 48121 04/2022 Ford Motor Company Recall Reimbursement Plan for 22S24 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 # 22S24, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to June 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 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 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.
