Summary
In some of the affected vehicles, an undesirable noise may develop from the cam phasers in the 3.5L GTDI engine. This noise might occur as a rattle when starting the engine after the vehicle was turned off for an extended period of time, or as a knocking noise when the engine is idling after it is warmed up. A cam phaser that has developed an undesirable noise does not affect the vehicle safety, performance, or emissions.

Dated April 9, 2021
REF :
New! REASON FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT
• Program Terms: The program terms and entry conditions for 21B10 have been updated.
• Affected Vehicles: The list of affected vehicles in this program has expanded to include F150 Raptor/Limited Variants, 2018-2020 Expedition, and 2018-2020 Navigator.
• Service Action: The Expedition and Navigator calibrations are not available at this time. They
will be available shortly. Please monitor the FSA landing page for calibration updates.
• Owner Notification Mailing Schedule: Owner letters are scheduled to mail during the week
of July 26, 2021
• Technician Instructions: Updated with new procedure.
• Labor Operations: Labor operations have been changed.
New! PROGRAM TERMS
This program will be in effect through July 31, 2022. There is no mileage limit for this program.
Customers that receive the 21B10 repair prior to December 31, 2021 will receive coverage for a prorated cam phaser replacement (if needed) under a separate Customer Service Program (21N03) until
January 1, 2023.
We recommend dealers utilize their FSA VIN Lists name and address to contact customers with
affected vehicles. This will help minimize the number of vehicles that may develop a cam phaser
rattle, which requires a more extensive repair.

REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
In some of the affected vehicles, an undesirable noise may develop from the cam phasers in the 3.5L
GTDI engine. This noise might occur as a rattle when starting the engine after the vehicle was turned
off for an extended period of time, or as a knocking noise when the engine is idling after it is warmed
up.
A cam phaser that has developed an undesirable noise does not affect the vehicle safety,
performance, or emissions.
New! SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest level using FDRS or IDS
release 122.04 or higher as appropriate. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no
charge to the vehicle owner.
Note: The calibration updates for Expedition and Navigator are not available at this time but will be
available shortly. Please monitor the 21B10 FSA landing page for updates.
New! OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of July 26, 2021. Dealers should repair any affected
vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

Important Information for Module Programming when using IDS
NOTE: When programming or reprogramming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure
programming completes without errors.
• Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect
IDS/scan tool to a power source.
• Inspect Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool
connections are not interrupted during programming.
• A hardwired connection is strongly recommended.
• Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC
system, etc.) and close doors.
• Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio, etc.).
• Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully.
• Disable IDS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes.
• Create all sessions key on engine off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause
errors within the programming inhale process.
Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module:
NEVER DELETE THE ORIGINAL SESSION!
a. Obtain the original IDS that was used when the programming error occurred during module
reprogramming (MR) or programmable module installation (PMI).
b. Disconnect the VCM from the data link connector (DLC) and the IDS.
c. Reconnect the VCM to IDS and then connect to the DLC. Once reconnected, the VCM icon should
appear in the corner of the IDS screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the IDS to VCM connection.
d. Locate the original vehicle session when programming failed. This should be the last session used
in most cases. If not, use the session created on the date that the programming failed.
NOTE: If the original session is not listed in the previous session list, click the Recycle Bin icon at the
lower right of the previous session screen. This loads any deleted sessions and allows you to
look through them. Double-click the session to restore it.
e. Once the session is loaded, the failed process should resume automatically.
f. If programming does not resume automatically, proceed to the Module Programming menu and select
the previously attempted process, PMI or MR.
g. Follow all on-screen prompts/instructions.
h. The last screen on the IDS may list additional steps required to complete the programming process.
Make sure all applicable steps listed on the screen are followed in order.

Important Information for Module Programming when using FDRS
NOTE: When programming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes
without errors.
• Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and
connect FDRS/scan tool to a power source.
NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic
software.
• Inspect Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II)/Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module
(VCMM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during
programming.
• A hardwired connection is strongly recommended.
• Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC
system, etc.) and close doors.
• Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio,
etc.).
• Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully.
• Disable FDRS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes.
• Create all sessions key on engine off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will
cause errors within the programming inhale process.
Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module
a. Disconnect the VCMII or VCMM from the data link connector (DLC) and your PC.
b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and the PC. Launch FDRS. The
VCMII/VCMM icon should turn green in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it does not,
troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM connection.
c. If you are using the same FDRS as the initial programming attempt, select the appropriate VIN from
the Vehicle Identification menu. If you are using a different FDRS, select “Read VIN from Vehicle”
and proceed through the Network Test.
d. In the Toolbox menu, navigate to the failed module and Download/Run Programmable Module
Installation (PMI). Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked if the original module is installed,
select “No” and continue through the installation application.
e. Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the
programming process. Make sure all applicable steps are followed in order.
