SSM 515362023-05-04. Service bulletin. For 2000-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, swapping a module from a vehicle for diagnosis purposes is likely to cause errors and is not recommended. It is also not recommended to order a replacement module using a vehicle identification number (VIN) from a different vehicle. Most modules on these affected vehicles are VIN/vehicle specific and hardware variations between modules do exist. Swapping a module from a vehicle or ordering a module using a different vehicle/VIN can cause ineffective repairs and additional vehicle down time. Make sure all appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM) procedures are followed when diagnosing the condition prior to all module replacements and only order modules using the correct VIN.
TSB 21-23182021-09-30. Service bulletin. Some 2017 Continental vehicles built on or before 19-Oct-2016 may exhibit a rattle noise from the underbody of the vehicle while moving.

To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the underbody shield fasteners.

SSM 475802018-11-19. Service bulletin. Some 2017-2018 Continentals my exhibit a squeak or creak at or near the door check strap when opening or closing the driver or passenger front doors. The origin of the noise may be due to a loose or improperly retained door panel push pin(s). If the door panel is found to be loose, remove the affected door panel and inspect the panel push pins for damage. If no damage is indicated re-install the door panel and ensure that the panel push pins retain the panel securely. The black push pin near the speaker opening may require additional pressure to ensure it is fully seated. If damaged push pins are found, replace the affected push pins and reinstall the panel.
