| TSB 14-0136 | WIND NOISE- PASSENGER SIDE GLOVE BOX AREA ABOVE 50 KM/H (30 MPH) OR HIGHER |
| LINCOLN: | 2013-2014 MKT |
ISSUE:
Some 2013-2014 MKT vehicles may exhibit a wind noise originating from the passenger side glove box area while driving at 50 Km/h (30 MPH) or higher.
In extreme cases, such as when agitated by high speed driving or gusting winds, this noise may escalate into a high pitched whistle.
This may be caused by an incorrectly installed or missing dash body plug behind the instrument panel.
ACTION:
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Lower the glove box and place a 10 mm (3/8″) vacuum hose by the heated steering wheel module bracket. (Figure 1)

- No – this article does not apply. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-00 for normal diagnosis.
