Service bulletin 22B18

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.

This may result in the engine not shutting down as expected after the run timer expires.

TSB 25-23632025-08-07. Service bulletin. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit all of the following conditions: * Lack of air flow from inoperative blower motor * Open or damaged fuse F10 in the BJB This may be due to a damaged fuse F10 (40A) in the battery junction box (BJB). ** Model secton: all gas engine (non-BEV) ***** Legacy verbiage - will be removed after completing approvals ***** Some 2020-2024 Transit all gas engine (non-BEV) vehicles may exhibit a lack of air flow due to an inoperative heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) blower motor. This may be due to a damaged fuse F10 (40A) in the battery junction box (BJB). To correct the condition, replace the fuse F10 (position 7 in the BJB). Replace the BJB and BJB harness only if it is required with the listed service replacement part.
SSM 537642025-05-21. Service bulletin.

SSM 523352024-03-20. Service bulletin. For 2015-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines and customer concern of an engine oil leak, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-00 for oil leak inspection and testing methods. Ford has evaluated turbochargers replaced for oil leak symptoms and although oil may collect on the external surface of a turbocharger, it is extremely rare for a turbocharger assembly to be the root cause of the oil leak. Careful inspection of the turbocharger oil feed and drain tubes should be performed along with the recommended WSM procedures as needed. Warranty claims for turbocharger replacement going forward will be assessed.
SSM 513702023-03-04. Service bulletin. Some 2022-2023 Transit/E-Transit vehicles may experience an inaccurate air discharge temperature when the EATC is operating in auto or manual mode and the temperature set to 60°F (15.5°C) or above. During this condition, the system commands full or mostly heat and the air discharge temperature will only reduce in the LO setting. This may be due to calibration in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) module. Engineering is aware of the concern and is currently working on a solution, expected in 2nd Quarter 2023. Inform the customer that Ford is currently investigating this concern and they can continue to drive the vehicle. Monitor OASIS for updates.

For claiming, use causal part 14F642 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
