US population of affected vehicles: 35,069. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN
Lists.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
The Battery Monitor Sensor (BMS) may randomly under report the actual 12V battery capacity during
an over-the-air (OTA) software update, which means that customers might be unable to complete
OTA software updates on their vehicles.
SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to inspect the part number of the battery monitoring sensor (BMS). If the part number
printed on the BMS is NL3T-10C652-AC or NL3T-10C652-AD, replace the BMS with service part
number ML3Z-10C679-B. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the
vehicle owner.
To assist vehicle owners to have this repair completed, dealers should:
• Arrange for a mobile repair at the owner’s location, or:
• Arrange to pick up the owner’s vehicle and drive it to the dealership for repairs.
o Re-deliver the owner’s vehicle after repairs have been completed.
• Pick-Up & Delivery, and mobile service should be made available for all customers. Refer to
the Rental and Claiming sections for further details.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of January 22, 2024. Dealers should repair any
affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

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
dealer’s 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.). Please
visit FMCDEALER > PARTS & SERVICE > WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION & WARRANTY
PARTS RETURN for the latest Immediate Scrap List information.

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 of 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 identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSAs require approval on a
single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post-repair approval by the
designated employee.

Customer Satisfaction Program 23B70

January 2023

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, it may be possible the battery monitor sensor is randomly
under reporting the actual 12V battery capacity during an over-the-air (OTA)
software update.

What is the effect?

This may result in OTA software updates not being completed on your
vehicle.

What will Ford and
your dealer do?

In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized
your dealer to replace the battery monitor sensor free of charge (parts and
labor) under the terms of this program.
This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until January 5, 2025
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.

What should you do?

Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for
Customer Satisfaction Program 23B70. 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
ford.com/support 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.
NOTE - You can receive information about Recalls and Customer
Satisfaction Programs through our FordPass App. The app can be

 Copyright 2024 Ford Motor Company

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.
Have you previously
paid for this repair?

If you have previously paid for a repair that addresses the issue described in
this letter, you still need to have this service action performed to ensure the
correct parts were used.
If the previously paid repair was performed before the date of this letter, you
may be eligible for a refund. Refunds will only be provided for services
related to battery monitor sensor replacement. To verify eligibility and
expedite reimbursement, give your paid original receipt to your dealer before
July 22, 2024. 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.

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.
RETAIL OWNERS: If you have questions or concerns, please contact our
Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332 and one of our
representatives will be happy to assist you. If you wish to contact us through
