Compliance Recall Notice 23C24 / NHTSA Recall 23V510
2023 Motorhome Chassis
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Ford Motor Company has decided that your vehicle, which was built on a chassis supplied by Ford with
the VIN shown above, fails to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 101,
Controls and Displays, and FMVSS No. 105, Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems.
We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this
condition. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service
and support.
What is the issue?
Affected vehicles have Smart Data Link Connector modules that may have
been exposed to moisture, potentially leading to corrosion in the module,
connector and wire harness. The resulting corrosion may interfere with the
vehicle’s Controller Area Network (CAN) communication. As a result, the
Instrument Panel Cluster may be inoperative when installed by the vehicle
upfitter or another vehicle modifier.
What is the risk?
An inoperative Instrument Panel Cluster does not provide safety-related
information to the driver and increases the risk of a crash.
What will Ford and
your dealer do?
Ford Motor Company is working closely with its suppliers to produce parts for
this repair. When parts become available, Ford Motor Company will notify you
via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer for repairs to be
completed free of charge (parts and labor). Parts are anticipated to be
available 4th quarter 2023.
What should you do?
When parts are available, Ford Motor Company will send a letter to inform
you that parts are available and to contact your dealer to schedule a repair.
Ford
has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this
compliance recall. When parts are available, you should contact your dealer
for an appointment to have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable.
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access
ford.com/support for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
If you are still having difficulty getting your vehicle repaired in a reasonable
time or without charge, you may write the Administrator, National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C.
20590 or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236
(TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or go to NHTSA.gov. Reference NHTSA Safety

recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten
days.

Lamentamos esta situación y deseamos asegurarle que, con su ayuda, corregiremos el problema.
Nuestro compromiso, junto con el de su distribuidor, es ofrecerle servicio y apoyo de alto nivel.
¿Cuál es el
problema?
Los vehículos afectados poseen módulos de conector de enlace de datos
inteligente que podrían haber sido expuestos a la humedad, lo cual podría
ocasionar corrosión en el módulo, conector y arnés. La corrosión resultante
podría interferir con la comunicación de la red de controladores (CAN) del
vehículo. Como resultado, el tablero de instrumentos podría no funcionar cuando
lo instala un renovador de vehículos u otro modificador de vehículos.
¿Qué riesgo existe? Un tablero de instrumentos que no funciona no proporciona información
relacionada con la seguridad al conductor, lo cual aumenta el riesgo de choque.
Ford Motor Company colabora estrechamente con sus proveedores para fabricar
