Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

 

REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT

  • Parts Ordering Information: Parts are expected to be available second quarter 2023, to support completion on all programs.
  • Police Owner Letter: Owner letter is updated to reflect parts are expected for availability second quarter 2023.
  • Technical Information: Updated Technical Information for PCM Reprogram (Non-Police Units) and Bushing Replacement (Police Units Only).

 

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

In some of the affected vehicles, the rear axle mounting bolt may fracture during vehicle acceleration. A fractured rear axle bolt will allow the rear axle housing to move out of position, resulting in severe noise and vibration. If the rear axle bolt breaks, the driveshaft/half shafts may become disconnected, resulting in loss of transmission torque to the rear wheels which is necessary to hold the vehicle in park. If the parking brake is not applied, the loss of the primary park torque will allow the vehicle to roll in park increasing the risk of crash and injury.

 

SERVICE ACTION

DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this safety recall.

  • Police Units (VIN Positions 5-7 are K8A) – The parts required to repair Explorer police units are available in limited quantity.
    • NOTE: Police units will only have a physical part repair.
    • Part ordering will be limited to vehicles that have a broken differential mounting bolt or unsold vehicles that have a signed buyer’s contract or purchase order.
  • Non-police Units – Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest level. This PCM update will engage the electronic parking brake every time the vehicle is shifted into Park (P). An engaged parking brake will not allow the vehicle to roll. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
    • NOTE: All PCM calibrations are now available.
    • NOTE: Non-Police units are provided with a one-time repair of the rear axle bolts and housing (if needed) under Customer Satisfaction Program 22N06.

IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is published and parts/calibrations are available. 

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE

  • Police Units – o Owner letters were mailed the week of June 6, 2022, explaining that parts are not available. Dealers should inspect vehicles and repair vehicles that have a broken differential mounting bolt. If the differential mounting bolt is not broken, dealers should advise the customer that parts are not available at this time and a second owner letter will be sent when parts are available.
    • A second owner letter will be mailed the week of February 20, 2023 stating that parts will not be available until second quarter 2023.
    • Once parts are available in sufficient quantities a new owner letter will be mailed to vehicle owners stating to schedule an appointment to perform 22S27.

CERTAIN 2020 – 2022 MODEL YEAR EXPLORER VEHICLES — EQUIPPED WITH A 3 BOLT DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING PCM REPROGRAMMING

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Module Programming

NOTE: Program appropriate vehicle modules before performing diagnostics and clear all DTC’s after programming. For DTC’s generated after programming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures.

1. Is this vehicle a police unit?

YES – This procedure does not apply.

NO   – Proceed to Step 2.

2. Check the 22S27 Landing Page on Professional Technician System (PTS) to confirm that the updated calibration is available for this vehicle before beginning this procedure.

3. 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 VCM is properly connected to the DLC.

4. 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.

5. Click ‘Read VIN from Vehicle’ or manually enter the VIN.

NOTE: Available modules are shown on the LH side of the screen, and available procedures are listed on the RH side of the screen. Modules that are communicating are highlighted in green.

6. Select Toolbox tab.

7. From the list on the LH side of the screen, select the PCM.

8. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select PCMPowertrain Control Module (PCM) Software Update.

9. Click RUN. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully.

10. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select Self-Test and click RUN.

11. Click the Run Selected Tests button in the lower right.

12. Click the Clear & Retest button at the top of the screen to clear DTC’s in all modules.

13. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the programming has completed.

14. Verify the PCM software installation by placing the vehicle in park and visually checking to see if the parking brake lights turn on.

NOTE: For unsold units in new or used vehicle inventory, insert Attachment IV into the Owner’s Manual.

NOTE: Advise the customer that is software update changes the electronic parking brake strategy.  The

parking brake will now engage every time that the vehicle is placed in park (P). Print off Attachment IV and instruct the customer about the changes to the parking brake system.

NOTE: Advise the customer that this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which allows the vehicle’s computer to learn the transmission’s unique parameters and improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a re-learning process. This re-learning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days.

 

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 IIeBay)/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.
  • 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 of Defect / Noncompliance Determination

Date of submission: 4/14/2022

Ford Motor Company (Ford) Recall No. 22S27 – Certain 2020-2022 model year Explorer vehicles – Rear Axle Bolt Fractures.

Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.

On August 10, 2021, Engineering presented an issue to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group where the rear axle horizontal mounting bolt was fracturing on some 2020-2021 MY Explorer vehicles built with a 3-point mounted axle design. These failures were discovered by Engineering when reviewing warranty claims.

On August 18, 2021, CCRG requested to kick off a 14D to understand the effect on vehicle operation, and the scope of vehicles affected. From August to December 2021, Engineering analyzed manufacturing data and returned warranty parts, as well as completed CAE analysis and fastener testing, to determine rate of occurrence, affected population, and potential effects on vehicle operation.

From January to February 2022, CCRG worked with Engineering and data & analytics specialists to deep dive into the differences between power packs, effects on vehicle operation, and the scope of the populations. This analysis identified loss of park as a potential effect on vehicle in severe cases.

In March 2022, Engineering worked with Ford Dealerships to confirm the effects on vehicle operation. Two dealerships confirmed damage on the rear driveshaft that resulted in the loss of park. Engineering confirmed Police units are built with a park by cable and would require a hardware change to avoid the loss of park condition, unlike retail units which are built with electronic park brake software and require a software update to avoid a loss of park condition.

On February 20, 2020, the rear module assembler (Dakkota) implemented a corrective action reducing the installation torque target, from 100° to 96° in the torque plus angle specification. Additionally, on April 20, 2020, Dakkota modified the installation torque process and removed manual “clickering” after installation of the bolt using an automatic DC nut runner because new tools capable to higher torques were implemented. (“Clickering” involved using a torque wrench to check the torque and if needed increase it to a minimum of 260 Nm).

As of April 5, 2022, there have been 235 warranty claims involving the rear axle bolt since December 2019.

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.
