This is due to the connector being submerged in transmission fluid during the main control manufacturing process. A trace amount should be considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission. Do not attempt a repair for this condition. If more than a trace amount of fluid is found, follow normal diagnostics in the Workshop Manual(WSM), Section 307-01>Diagnosis and Testing>Leakage Inspection.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10171966-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10171966-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10171966","components":[{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null},{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"EDGE","year_from":2018,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2018_ford_edge","2019_ford_edge","2020_ford_edge"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_escape"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"TRANSIT CONNECT","year_from":2018,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2018_ford_transit-connect","2019_ford_transit-connect","2020_ford_transit-connect"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"CORSAIR","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_lincoln_corsair"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"MKX","year_from":2019,"year_to":2020,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
