PROGRAM TERMS
This program will be in effect through May 31, 2025. There is no mileage limit for this program.
URGENCY / EXPIRATION DATE
This Customer Satisfaction Program has an expiration date of May 31, 2025, to encourage dealers
and customers to have this service performed as soon as possible.
We recommend dealers utilize their FSA VIN Lists’ names and address to contact customers with
affected vehicles. This will help minimize the number of vehicles that may require a more extensive
repair. FSA VIN Lists are expected to be available on May 13, 2024.

US population of affected vehicles: 36,170. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN
Lists.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
In affected vehicles, the Variable Displacement Oil Pump (VDOP) delivers oil to the engine at low
pressure/capacity during idle conditions. Routine occurrences of prolonged idle time may result in
excess wear to the engine camshaft lobes and valve tappet surfaces due to reduced lubrication. Over
time, the engine may progressively run rough due to cylinder misfire. Additionally, customers may
hear engine tapping noises and the Check Engine Light (CEL) may illuminate.
SERVICE ACTION
Ford recommends before delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to
update the PCM calibration on 2023-2024 Super Duty and 2024 Econoline vehicles. This service must
be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. For new vehicle storage
guidelines, refer to EFC13033, Storage Guidelines for New Vehicles.

IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is
published. Opening an RO against an Awareness or Advance Notice will result in warranty
rejections against a recall.
To assist vehicle owners to have this repair completed when parts are available, 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 May 20, 2024. Dealers should repair any
