SSM 51536	2023-05-04. 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.
SSM 50935	2022-07-20. Service bulletin. Some 2022 Navigator vehicles may experience an inoperative rear interior power liftgate switch. This may be due to a water ingress condition into the rear liftgate. If moisture or corrosion is found in the liftgate switch and/or connector, repair any water leaks prior to switch and/or connector replacement. Check all liftgate seals between liftgate trim panel and liftgate door for proper position and orientation, including seals with the liftgate glass open. Perform water ingress leak path testing on liftgate door. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-00 > Body System > General Information > Diagnosis and Testing > Dust and Water Leaks.
