# Service bulletin TSB 21\-2020

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10186423
- Published by NHTSA: 2021\-02\-04
- Manufacturer's number: TSB 21\-2020
- Manufacturer's date: 2021\-01\-27
- NHTSA component: FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

## NHTSA's summary

Some 2020 Escape 2.0L EcoBoost, front wheel drive \(FWD\) vehicles built on or before 20\-Mar\-2020 may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P00FE, P0456, P0455 and a fuel gauge that never indicates full after a refueling event \(only reads approximately 90%\). This may be due to the calibration in the powertrain control module \(PCM\) being configured for an L\-tank instead of a saddle tank. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM.
