This concern typically occurs under moderate to high load conditions at highway speeds. This may be due to a loose ground at G109 or G107. To correct this condition, inspect G109 for the ground eyelet being installed upside down/loose/corrosion and G107 ignition coil ground. The eyelet on G109 has a tab that should be facing down to stop rotation during tightening.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10205478-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10205478-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10205478","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null}],"codes":["P130D"],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"BRONCO SPORT","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_ford_bronco-sport"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_ford_escape"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
