# Service bulletin SSM 50083

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.

## NHTSA's summary

Some 2019\-2020 Ranger vehicles built on or before 30\-Jul\-2020 may experience poor and/or no temperature change when the temperature is adjusted in the climate control system. There may also be a clicking/snapping noise from behind the instrument panel. Diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) B1082 and/or B1081 may also be retrieved from the front controls interface module \(FCIM\). This may be due to an issue with the blend door and its controls. To avoid repeat repairs, it is recommended to replace the air distribution housing/heater asy \(service base part\# 18478\). Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 412\-00.
