This may be due to the climate control system being in recirculation mode as a result of the recirculation button being on or automatic strategies for heating/cooling efficiency. To minimize dust ingress when driving in off-road or secondary road conditions, make sure that all doors and windows are fully closed and the climate control system is switched to defrost on and the instrument panel and footwell air vents are switched to off. Temperature and fan settings may be adjusted as desired. Alternatively, max defrost can be activated which will adjust all settings automatically. Operating in defrost mode will keep constant air flow through the rear air extractors and other small areas, helping minimize dust ingress.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10228880-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10228880-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10228880","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null},{"id":"driver-assistance","name":"Driver assistance","parent":null},{"id":"backup-camera","name":"Backup camera","parent":"driver-assistance"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"F-150","year_from":2015,"year_to":2023,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2015_ford_f-150","2016_ford_f-150","2017_ford_f-150","2018_ford_f-150","2019_ford_f-150","2020_ford_f-150","2021_ford_f-150","2022_ford_f-150","2023_ford_f-150"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-250 SD","year_from":2017,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2017_ford_f-250","2018_ford_f-250","2019_ford_f-250","2020_ford_f-250","2021_ford_f-250","2022_ford_f-250"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-350 SD","year_from":2017,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2017_ford_f-350","2018_ford_f-350","2019_ford_f-350","2020_ford_f-350","2021_ford_f-350","2022_ford_f-350"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-450 SD","year_from":2017,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2017_ford_f-450","2018_ford_f-450","2019_ford_f-450","2020_ford_f-450","2021_ford_f-450","2022_ford_f-450"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-550 SD","year_from":2017,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2017_ford_f-550","2018_ford_f-550","2019_ford_f-550","2020_ford_f-550","2021_ford_f-550","2022_ford_f-550"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"RANGER","year_from":2019,"year_to":2023,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2019_ford_ranger","2020_ford_ranger","2021_ford_ranger","2022_ford_ranger","2023_ford_ranger"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
