Windshield Adhesion Repair

 

REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT

  • Affected Vehicles: Please check OASIS to ensure 22C12 FSA is OPEN before any repairs.
    • Over 4k VINS have been closed due to confirmed repairs prior to dealer delivery. This information was obtained after customers were mailed letters.
  • Owner Notification: New letters will be mailed to certain customers advising them their vehicle does not need to be repaired.
  • Technical Information: Protect VIN label and dash from potential damage during body shop repair.

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates
Bronco2022Michigan AssemblyDecember 08, 2021 through April 12, 2022
RangerDecember 17, 2021 through April 12, 2022

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

NOTE: Over 4k VINS have been closed due to confirmed repairs prior to dealer delivery.

 

REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL

All of the affected vehicles may not conform to the requirements specified by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 212 Windshield Mounting, due to the potential for inadequate urethane adhesion around 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 or water leaks.

 

SERVICE ACTION

Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to remove the windshield and improve the windshield urethane to body adhesion using the attached procedures. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner letters were mailed the week of July 11, 2022.

Updated Owner letters, for certain vehicles that do not need repairs, are expected to be mailed the week of November 28, 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 has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this compliance recall. 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.

 

DEALER-OPERATED RENTAL VEHICLES

The Fixing Americaโ€™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 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 Motor Company at P.O. Box 6251, Dearborn, MI 481216251.
  • 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 to be excessive, will not be reimbursed.
  • Refunds will only be provided for the cost associated with windshield repair due to inadequate urethane adhesion.

 

RENTAL VEHICLES

Dealers are pre-approved for up to 1 day for a rental vehicle. Follow Extended Service Plan (ESP) guidelines for dollar amounts.

22C12 โ€“ CERTAIN 2022 FORDeBay BRONCO AND RANGER VEHICLES โ€“ INADEQUATE WINDSHIELD ADHESION

Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination 

 

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

 

April 2022- On April 07, 2022, an issue was introduced to FordeBayโ€™s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) to review windshield installation control plan data from the Michigan Assembly Plant (MAP). On the previous day, a reported urethane concern from a customerโ€™s Bronco was reviewed.  In expanding the search, data indicated that eight of 65 units did not meet FordeBayโ€™s internal adhesion control plan requirements.  These eight units had build dates from January 15 to January 25, 2022.

 

From April 07 to April 13, 2022, additional Bronco windshield cutout tests were conducted and 16 additional units that did not meet FordeBayโ€™s enhanced internal threshold adhesion were identified.  These units were built between January 15 to March 30, 2022.  FordeBay further identified that the Ranger windshield installation process is similar to Bronco. Subsequent windshield cutout tests conducted on Ranger units found three units out of 14 that did not meet FordeBayโ€™s internal windshield adhesion threshold. These three units were built between January 10 to March 29, 2022.

 

At the direction of the CCRG, FordeBay Engineering and MAP initiated an investigation on April 21, 2022,  into potential contributors to reduced windshield adhesion and variables affecting bonding results, including ambient temperature and humidity, oven settings and variation, presence of contaminants (e.g. silicone and fluorine), phthalate levels, clearcoat thickness and others.  While some evidence was found that could relate to each variable, no conclusions were reached.

 

May 2022- From May 06, 2022 to June 02, 2022, an expanded review of MAP control plan data and additional cutout data for vehicles at MAP identified bonding performance that did not meet FordeBayโ€™s internal requirements on vehicles produced during the build date ranges identified above. The level of windshield adhesion performance observed from the panel testing and vehicle glass cut-outs called into question whether the affected units would meet the 50% adhesion requirements of FMVSS 212. The cause for this issue remains unknown at this time.

 

FordeBay is not aware of any accidents or injuries pertaining to this issue.

 

On June 17, 2022, FordeBayโ€™s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern, and approved a field action for a potential noncompliance in the listed population.
