Service bulletins for the 2017 Ford Transit

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.

TSB 21-21062021-05-04. Service bulletin. VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:CONDENSOR/EVAPORATOR. Some 2017-2021 Transit vehicles built on or before 30-Nov-2020 may experience a slow fill condition and/or illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0171, P0174, P0451, P0455, P0456, P0496 and/or P1450. This may be due to a kinked evaporator emissions fresh air vent line. To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to attach a zip tie to the fresh air vent line.
TSB 19-23882020-01-07. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER. Some 2015-2019 Transit vehicles may exhibit poor air conditioning (A/C) performance. If the cause of this is found to be a refrigerant leak from the evaporator, this may be due to build up of contaminates inside the evaporator housing. To correct this concern, replace only the evaporator housing and install a cabin air filter as opposed to replacing the entire climate control housing assembly.
TSB 19-21662019-07-03. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER. Some 2015-2019 Transit vehicles may exhibit poor air conditioning (A/C) performance. If the cause of this is found to be a refrigerant leak from the evaporator, it is recommended to replace only the evaporator case as opposed to the entire climate control housing assembly. Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SSM 478502019-05-07. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER. Some 2013-2019 vehicles equipped with a EVDC air conditioning (A/C) compressor may exhibit poor A/C performance/improper climate function and/or a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P06A0 in the powertrain control module (PCM). To support the proper diagnosis of this compressor, the EVDC control valve tester has been developed and is available from Rotunda (339-EVDC100). A tester has been provided to each U.S. dealership free of charge with shipments completed 19-Apr-2019 (reference EFC07013 on FMCDealer.com). This tester will help reduce the potential for misdiagnosis and unnecessary compressor replacement. Make sure that this tester is used for warranty repairs and document the test results in the Technician Comments field. Refer to the Rotunda catalog for a video and user manual which provide detailed operating instructions.
SSM 474012018-09-10. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER. Some 2015-2018 Transit vehicles equipped with the Auxiliary Heater / A/C Prep Package 62C are built specifically for A/C system modification. This can be identified on the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website by using vehicle identification number (VIN) > OASIS tab > Vehicle Information > Additional information will be shown as: GZBAC - heater/A/C prep pack. The upfitter who adds their rear A/C components is responsible for filling their system and specifying the new refrigerant charge level. Do not submit warranty claims for insufficient refrigerant charge unless a defective Ford part or component is identified as the causal part. Consult the upfitter who performed the modification if refrigerant charge level is in question or a defect is present within the add-on system.
SSM 470122018-06-11. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER. Some 2015-2018 F-150, Mustang and Transit vehicles built on or before 01-Dec-2017 may have a concern of no airflow from the climate control vents. This may be caused by a seized or sticking A/C clutch. This can be repaired by replacing only the A/C clutch (19D786/19D784). The compressor assembly (19703) may not be required. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 412-00 for A/C clutch removal. It may be necessary to lightly tap around the stuck area of the clutch with a rubber mallet to free it from the pulley for removal. Refer to applicable labor operations from Section 11 of the SLTS maunual when replacing the A/C clutch.
