SECTION: 303-12F

Safety Recall: Engine Charge Air Cooler Hose Detachment
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
XF (X250)
Model Year:
VIN:

2013-2014
S55275-U10625

Engine:

GTDi 2.0L Petrol

MARKETS:
NAS

CONDITION SUMMARY:
The model year and VIN range applicability has been expanded.
Situation: A concern has been identified on a number of 2013-2014 model year XF 2.0L GTDi vehicles. The
Charge Air Cooler (CAC) assembly is supplied as an assembly made up of two flexible hoses and a central metal
resonator. The hose to resonator joint may not be fully secure. The position of one of the flexible hoses and the
associated hose clip can be incorrectly located during the CAC assembly process and the clip may not achieve the
required clamp load.
Action: Retailers are required to HOLD all affected vehicles within the listed VIN range that are in their control
and refrain from releasing the vehicles for new or used vehicle sale pending completion of the rework action
detailed in this Technical Bulletin. Unsold vehicles should have this performed as part of the Pre-Delivery
Inspection (PDI) process but must have it completed prior to vehicle handover to the customer. Affected vehicles
already in the hands of customers should be updated at the next available opportunity.

PARTS:
No parts required

SPECIAL TOOLS:
Refer to Workshop Manual / Service Instruction for any required tools

WARRANTY:

3. Check position of the charge air cooler hose clip.
If: the clip is less than 10mm from the

resonator; a gap exists between the resonator
and the end of the hose; or the clip is not
positioned squarely on the hose, carry on
from step 4.
If: the clip is between 10mm and 13mm from
the edge of the resonator; and the hose is
butted against the resonator, carry on from
step 5.

4. Reposition hose correctly on the resonator and position the clip 13mm from the edge of the resonator.

5. Tighten the clip to 6Nm, ensuring the clip remains in position and square to the edge of the resonator.

6. Close hood.
