REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF (Continued)
•

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 21B42
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?

You did not receive the expected front spring gross vehicle weight rating
(FGAWR) of up to 7000 lbs on units equipped with the Ambulance or
Wrecker package that you ordered. Your vehicle’s FGAWR matches the
lower FGAWR listed on the safety certification label on your vehicle.

What is the effect?

Lower than expected FGAWR may result in reduced reserve capacity at the
front axle, depending on vehicle loading and occupants.

What will Ford and
your dealer do?

In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized
three options for your choosing. You can choose only one of the three
options.
First Option: Compensation for the equivalent value of the vehicle
specification originally ordered. See Customer Waiver at the bottom of this
letter for more information.
Second Option: Your dealer will modify your vehicle to meet the original
specified FGAWR of up to 7000 lbs by replacing both front coil springs and
the safety certification label. For, F-350 4X2 vehicles only your dealer will
perform a front wheel alignment free of charge (parts and labor) under the
terms of this program.
Third Option: A refund for a previously paid repair of a front coil spring
upgrade. See Refund section below for more information.
This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until July 31, 2022
regardless of mileage. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent
owners.

How long will it take?

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

© Copyright 2021 Ford Motor Company

What should you do?

Customers should consider vehicle usage, payload, and current GAWR
indicated on the drive side door panel certification sticker. The front coil
spring and label replacement are recommended for vehicles over or near
capacity.
If you plan to select the first option, compensation, see the Customer Waiver
at the bottom of this letter for more information.
If you plan to select the second option, spring replacement, please call your
dealer to schedule a service appointment for Customer Satisfaction Program
21B42. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at
the beginning of this letter.
If you plan to select the third option, please see the section of this letter titled;
“Have you previously paid for this repair?”
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access owner.ford.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. Ford 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.
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 parking in certain locations and controlling certain functions on
your vehicle (lock or unlock doors, remote start) if it is equipped to allow
control.

COVID-19
(CORONAVIRUS)

Ford dealerships have implemented enhanced protocols to ensure both your
safety and the safety of dealership employees. This includes specific
procedures for cleaning and disinfecting customer vehicles 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 Ford and your local dealer are working
hard to keep you on the road during these challenging times, please visit
owner.ford.com.

Have you previously
paid for this repair?

If the previously paid for repair was performed before the date of this letter,
you may be eligible for a refund. Refunds will only be provided for service
related to replacing the front coil springs. To verify eligibility and expedite
reimbursement, give your paid original receipt to your dealer before July 31,
2022. To avoid delays, do not send receipts to Ford Motor Company.

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.
