HANDLING ALLOWANCE
An allowance of $330 per repair is being provided unless otherwise notified by the Company or as
provided by state law, in addition to the dealer cost of the High Voltage Battery Module.
For HV battery/array, refer to EFC12696 Electric Vehicle High Voltage Battery Packs and Array Kits
Part Retention & Return Process for Replacements Under Warranty, FSAs, and Customer Pay. This
communication outlines the retention and return processes for Electrical Vehicle HV battery packs and
array kits. The process outlined in this communication applies to all Electrical Vehicle HV battery
packs and array kits from all Hybrid Electric and Battery Electric vehicles, and all repair types,
including Warranty, Field Service Actions, and customer-paid repairs.
EXCESS STOCK RETURN
The excess stock returned for credit must have been purchased from Ford Customer Service Division
by Policy Procedure Bulletin 4000.
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.
