# Service bulletin TSB 22\-2433

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: 10228761
- Published by NHTSA: 2023\-01\-05
- Manufacturer's number: TSB 22\-2433
- Manufacturer's date: 2022\-12\-16
- NHTSA component: FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

## NHTSA's summary

This article supersedes TSB 22\-2176 to increase the labor operation allowance and update the part list. Some 2020\-2022 Escape/Corsair vehicles built on or before 3\-Jan\-2022, 2020\-2022 Explorer vehicles built on or before 14\-Feb\-2022, 2020\-2022 Aviator vehicles built on or before 07\-Feb\-2022 and 2021\-2022 Bronco Sport vehicles built on or before 3\-Dec\-2021 may exhibit a slow fuel fill and/or spit back condition during refueling. This may be due to the design of the fuel tank filler pipe. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the fuel tank filler pipe.

## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [SSM 51824](/bulletins/10240578.md), 2023-08-11, Service bulletin: FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR. 2020\-2023 Explorer non\-hybrid vehicles equipped with a 3.0L EcoBoost or 3.3L Duratec engine and 2020\-2023 Aviator non\-hybrid vehicles equipped with a 3.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit an exhaust rattle requiring replacement of the left or right exhaust flexible pipe \(5G203\). The updated part locates the flexible joint portion of the pipe closer toward the catalytic converter than the originally equipped part. This is due to a design change with these replacement components which will not cause any functional issues with the vehicle.
- [TSB 22\-2161](/bulletins/10210746.md), 2022-05-02, Service bulletin: FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY; ENGINE. Some 2020\-2022 Escape/Corsair, 2021\-2022 Bronco Sport, 2022 Maverick vehicles equipped with 4\-wheel drive \(4WD\) may exhibit a grinding/rubbing noise from floor pan/underbody area. This noise will be most noticeable on tip in acceleration and may be due to a mispositioned fuel tank heat shield. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reposition the fuel tank heat shield.
- [SSM 50622](/bulletins/10209414.md), 2022-03-30, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. Some 2020 \- 2022 Explorer/Aviator/Police Interceptor Utility vehicles may display a distance to empty value in the instrument panel cluster \(IPC\) that does not correctly represent the actual fuel level of the vehicle. This may be due to excessive idling and/or a learned value in the powertrain control module \(PCM\) that is incorrect. To correct the condition, perform the PCM \- Reset the Keep Alive Memory \(KAM\) application in the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use Causal Part 12A650 and applicable labor times from Section 10 in the Service Labor Time Standards \(SLTS\) Manual.
- [SSM 50248](/bulletins/10203839.md), 2021-12-07, Service bulletin: FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER; FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY. Some 2021 Corsair/Escape vehicles equipped with 2.0L or 2.3L engines and built on or after 04\-Jan\-2021 may exhibit a rattle/buzz noise on start\-up/idle/slow speed from the back of the engine compartment area. This noise may be caused by fuel line heat shield contact with the fuel/brake lines at the rear engine compartment. The fuel line heat shield is located on the front dash cross member. Adjust from the bottom of the heat shield 10° forward or 15 mm \(0.6 inches\) clearance between the shield and the fuel/brake lines.
- [TSB 21\-2020](/bulletins/10186423.md), 2021-02-04, Service bulletin: FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY. 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.
- [TSB 20\-2252](/bulletins/10179115.md), 2020-09-02, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY. Some 2020 Explorer vehicles equipped with a 2.3L EcoBoost/3.3L Duratec engine and a rotary gear shift knob built on or before 14\-Jul\-2020 may exhibit slow fuel fill, premature fuel nozzle shut off, and/or spit back during refueling with no diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to the software in the PCM. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM.
