Customer Satisfaction Program 19B24
October 2019
Mr. John Sample
123 Main Street
Anywhere, USA 12345
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567
At Ford
Motor Company, we are committed not only to building high quality, dependable products, but
also to building a community of happy, satisfied customers. To demonstrate that commitment, we are
providing a no-charge Customer Satisfaction Program for your vehicle with the VIN shown above.
Why are you receiving
this notice?
On your vehicle, there may be a casting crack in your engine’s balance shaft
and oil pump assembly.
What is the effect?
This may lead to engine noise, a low oil pressure indication or illumination of
the Service Engine Soon indicator, followed by eventual engine seizure.
What will Ford
and
your dealer do?
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford
Motor Company has authorized
your dealer to inspect the engine oil pump balance shaft. If your vehicle has
a suspect casting, your dealer will replace the engine as necessary free of
charge (parts and labor) under the terms of this program.
This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until April 10, 2020
regardless of mileage. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent
owners.
How long will it take?
The time needed for this inspection is less than one-half day. However, due
to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a
longer period of time. Additional time will be needed if engine replacement is
required.
What should you do?
Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for
Customer Satisfaction Program 19B24. Provide the dealer with your VIN,
which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter.
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access
www.Fordowner.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
Ford
Motor Company wants you to have this service action completed on
your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to
have the work completed.

Motor Company
What should you do?
(Continued)
NOTE: You can receive information about Recalls and Customer
Satisfaction Programs through our FordPass App. The app can be
downloaded through the App Store or Google Play. In addition there are
other features such as reserving and paying for parking in certain locations
and controlling certain functions on your vehicle (lock or unlock doors,
remote start) if it is equipped to allow control.
Do you need a rental
vehicle?
If your dealer determines that engine replacement is required and needs
your vehicle overnight, your dealer is authorized to provide a rental vehicle
for your personal transportation at no charge (except for fuel, insurance, and
tax) while your vehicle is at the dealership for repairs. Please see your
dealer for guidelines and limitations.
What if you no longer
own this vehicle?
If you no longer own this vehicle, and have an address for the current owner,
please forward this letter to the new owner.
You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on
state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner.
Can we assist you
further?
If you have difficulties getting your vehicle repaired promptly and without
charge, please contact your dealership's Service Manager for assistance.
