## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [SSM 51909](/bulletins/10243490.md), 2023-10-04, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. When performing any transmission fluid changes or topoffs involving MERCON SP, MERCON LV has replaced all versions of MERCON SP and can be used going forward. Mixing MERCON LV and MERCON SP in the same transmission is acceptable. After 30\-Jun\-2023, MERCON SP ATF will no longer be manufactured and will only be available until inventory depletes.
- [TSB 22\-2219](/bulletins/10214754.md), 2022-06-27, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN. Some 2003\-2020 Expedition/Navigator and 2006\-2020 F\-150 \(non\-Raptor\) vehicles equipped with 4WD may exhibit grinding/clicking/ratcheting noise from the front wheel area. This may be due to partial engagement of the integrated wheel ends \(IWE\). To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to remove and cap the vacuum supply line or to reprogram the transfer case control module \(TCCM\) and replace any worn vacuum and/or IWE components.
- [RFI20210210\_624\-](/bulletins/10189008.md), 2021-03-15, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN. This SKU is a Transmission Line. The customer communication requested return of unsold inventory to inspect the connector. The transmission line connector may have an incorrect thread size, which will prevent it from being installed.
- [DORD2Q5Z09](/bulletins/10165335.md), 2019-09-23, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN. This SKU is a Transmission Oil Cooler Line. The customer communication requested return of unsold inventory to inspect for the port size being too large. If the port size is too large it will not fit the mating component which would prevent installation, and would therefore have no impact on the end user besides time to complete installation.
