Summary

In all of the affected vehicles, a one-speed transfer case was installed instead of the two-speed transfer case that was intended to be installed with the heavy duty trailer tow package. As a result, the Slow Climb drive mode and the Neutral Tow setting will not be available on the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) message center display. This will prohibit the vehicle from being flat-towed and may cause poor drivability in extreme off-road conditions.

REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF
Effective March 1st 2021 all parts replaced as part of an FSA repair with a repair order open date of
March 1st 2021 or later must be inspected and signed off on the repair order by a member of your
dealers fixed operations management team or an employee the task has been delegated to. If the
task is to be delegated to a non-management employee, the employee needs to be someone other
than the technician who completed the repair and needs to understand the importance of completing
this task consistently and accurately.

All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department
following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies.

Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed.

If the FSA repair is found to be complete, the designated employee signs the repair order line
or parts return stamp area (electronic or hand signed) for the FSA repair indicating the parts
were inspected and validated to have been replaced.

After the parts have been inspected, they should be handled based on the guidance in the
parts status report in the Online Warranty System (Hold, Return, CORE, Scrap, etc.).

This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order
open date of March 1st 2021 or later. Any eligible FSA claims requiring parts replacement,
found not to have been inspected and signed off during a warranty audit will be subject to
chargeback and consideration for enrollment into the Dealer Incomplete Recall Repair
Process.
Note: Other approvals (electronic or handwritten) for add-on repair lines, dealer owned vehicle
repairs, and repeat repairs do not qualify as FSA parts inspection approvals. The post repair FSA
parts inspection process (electronic or handwritten) is independent from other warranty approval
requirements. The approval by the designated employee implies that the FSA parts were found to be
replaced and must be able to be clearly identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSA’s require
approval on a single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post repair
approval by the designated employee.

Customer Satisfaction Program 21B47

September 2021

Mr. John Sample
123 Main Street
Anywhere, USA 12345
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567
At the Lincoln 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, a one-speed transfer case was installed instead of the
two-speed transfer case that was intended to be installed with the heavy
duty trailer tow package.

What is the effect?

This will result in the inability to select Slow Climb drive mode or the Neutral
Tow setting on the instrument panel cluster message center display. This will
prohibit the vehicle from being flat-towed and may cause poor drivability in
extreme off-road conditions.

What will Lincoln and
your dealer do?

In the interest of customer satisfaction, the Lincoln Motor Company has
authorized your dealer to replace the transfer case, transfer case wiring
harness, transfer case control module and reconfigure the affected modules
on your vehicle including the anti-lock braking system, instrument panel
cluster, power train control module and transmission control module free of
charge (parts and labor) under the terms of this program.

How long will it take?

The time needed for this repair is less than one day. However, due to
service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a
longer period of time.

What should you do?

Please call your dealer without delay to initiate the parts ordering process.
Provide the dealer with the VIN of your vehicle. The VIN is printed near your
name at the beginning of this letter. Your dealer will contact you back to
schedule a service appointment for Customer Satisfaction Program 21B47.

What should you do?
(continued)

Delivery through your dealership if you would like to take advantage of this
option.
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access
owner.lincoln.com for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
The Lincoln 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. The Lincoln Motor Company can
deny coverage for any vehicle damage that may result from the failure to
have this service action performed on a timely basis. Therefore, please have
this service action performed as soon as possible.

COVID-19
(CORONAVIRUS)

Lincoln dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both
your safety and the safety of dealership employees. This includes specific
procedures for cleaning and disinfecting client vehicles and vehicles used for
Pickup & Delivery* both before and after each vehicle is serviced. In most
places, vehicle service has been deemed a critical service. Please contact
your local dealer to confirm current service hours. For more information on
how LincolneBay logo and your local dealer are working hard to keep you on the road
during these challenging times, please visit owner.lincoln.com.
*Complimentary Lincoln Pickup & Delivery Service is available for all 2017
model year and newer LincolneBay logo vehicles within the 4-year/50,000 mile New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. Contact your preferred dealer for
important details. Mileage limitations may apply.

Do you need a rental
vehicle?

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.
