REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

In all of the affected vehicles, the manual gear position sensor may be causing the rear view camera display, reverse lamps, and various driver assist features (traction control, forward collision warning, blind spot warning, and cross-traffic indicator) to stop functioning.

If the modules controlling the rear view camera, reverse lamps, and other driver assist features receive a faulted gear position sensor signal from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), it may disable the features. An instrument cluster warning light may illuminate along with a message indicating function is not available. A rear view camera or reverse lamp that is disabled reduces the driver’s view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. A disabled driver assist feature may also increase the risk of a crash.

 

SERVICE ACTION

Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to reprogram the PCM software to the latest level using the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) level 125 or higher.

This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of June 13, 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

  • FordeBay logo 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.
  • 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.

 

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.

 

OWNER REFUNDS

  • This safety recall must still be performed, even if the owner has paid for a previous repair. Claiming a refund will not close the recall on the vehicle.
  • FordeBay logo Motor Company is offering a refund for owner-paid repairs covered by this recall if the repair was performed prior to the date indicated in the reimbursement plan, which is posted with this bulletin. Owners are directed to seek reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through FordeBay logo 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 FordeBay logo to be excessive, will not be reimbursed.

CERTAIN 2019 – 2020 MODEL YEAR MUSTANGeBay logo 5.0L VEHICLES WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSIONPOWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Module Reprogramming

NOTE: Reprogram appropriate vehicle modules before performing diagnostics and clear all DTC’s after programming. For DTC’s generated after reprogramming, 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).

NOTE: Make sure the IDS computer does not enter sleep mode during programming.

2. Perform a Software Update to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) using Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) release 125.00 or higher. Make sure you are connected to the Internet prior to reprogramming.

NOTE: Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraftservice.com.

NOTE: Follow the IDS on-screen instructions to complete the reprogramming procedure.

3. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the reprogramming has completed.

NOTE: Reference the next page on Important Information for Module Programming.

Important Information for Module Programming

NOTE: When programming or reprogramming 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 IDS/scan tool to a power source.
  • Inspect Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) 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 IDS/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: NEVER

DELETE THE ORIGINAL SESSION!

a. Obtain the original IDS that was used when the programming error occurred during Module Reprogramming (MR) or Programmable Module Installation (PMI).

b. Disconnect the VCM from the Data Link Connector (DLC) and the IDS.

c. Reconnect the VCM to IDS and then connect to the DLC. Once reconnected, the VCM icon should appear in the corner of the IDS screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the IDS to VCM connection.

d. Locate the original vehicle session when programming failed. This should be the last session used in most cases. If not, use the session created on the date that the programming failed.

NOTE: If the original session is not listed in the previous session list, click the Recycle Bin icon at the lower right of the previous session screen. This loads any deleted sessions and allows you to look through them. Double-click the session to restore it.

e. Once the session is loaded, the failed process should resume automatically.

f.  If programming does not resume automatically, proceed to the Module Programming menu and select the previously attempted process, PMI or MR.

g. Follow all on-screen prompts/instructions.

h. The last screen on the IDS may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps listed on the screen are followed in order.

 


Chronology :

The 2019 MY MustangeBay logo 5.0L Manual Transmission Model first introduced a new Rev Matching feature that included a new Manual Gear Position Sensor and associated software / calibration. In July 2020, Product Development engineers identified warranty claims associated with the Manual Gear Position Sensor causing the rear view camera and reverse lamps to stop functioning. The Product Development team reviewed the concern with the Critical Concern review Group (CCRG) on July 21, 2020. CCRG agreed to close investigation based upon low occurrence and to monitor field data for any increase in occurrence.

On April 5, 2022, CCRG reopened the investigation based upon updated warranty data. As of March 25, 2022, the Product Development team has identified 102 warranty claims alleging non-functioning rear view camera display and/or non-functioning reverse lamps. Additionally, Product Development identified 94 warranty claims of potentially related non-functioning of various driver assist features (traction control, forward collision warning, blind spot warning, cross traffic indicator). One VOQ (11267708) identified potentially related to concern.

Automotive Safety Office conducted a warranty rate projection based upon the current warranty claims. The projected rate at 120 months in service/150K miles is 2.92% or 1,130 expected repairs.

On May 20, 2022, FordeBay logo’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.

FordeBay logo is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
