Pursuant to USC49CFR §577.13 – Notification to Dealerships and Distributors – Paragraph B
“It is a violation of Federal Law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle
equipment (including a tire) covered by the notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is
remedied. Substantial civil penalties apply to violations of this law.”

CANADA: Pursuant to the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act, section 5

Companies who sell new non-complying vehicles may be in violation of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Substantial
penalties apply to violations of this law. This notice is being sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the Motor
Vehicle Safety Act. This is to inform you that your vehicle may contain a defect that could affect the safety of a person.
Dear Forest River Customer:
Forest River is alerting you to a Ford Recall 25SC7, 25V793 involving certain 2021 Cross Trek, 2021 Forester, 2021-2022
Freelander, 2021-2022 Leprechaun, 2021 Sunseeker Class C Motorhomes, and 2019-2022 Rockport Work Trucks.
Please see the information below which describes the issue and provides you with details on the steps you should take to
have your vehicle repaired.
WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
According to Ford’s records, the remedy software for Safety Recall 20S73 may not have been installed correctly during a
prior dealership visit. Because the correct software may not have been installed on your vehicle, the underlying condition
specified in Safety Recall 20S73 may still exist.
On your vehicle, it may be possible that the engine cover insulation does not fully extend to the perimeter of the factory
engine cover. This may result in elevated temperatures at certain areas of the engine cover surface in the passenger
compartment on both driver and passenger sides. Direct and continuous contact with exposed skin at these locations may
increase the risk of skin irritation and/or a minor burn.
OWNERS AND DEALERS: WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
Please review and follow the notice that accompanies this letter.

Sincerely,
Forest River
Office of Corporate Compliance

condition. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service
and support.
What is the issue?

According to Ford’s records, the remedy software for Safety Recall 20S73
may not have been installed correctly during a prior dealership visit. Because
the correct software may not have been installed on your vehicle, the
underlying condition specified in Safety Recall 20S73 may still exist.
On your vehicle, it may be possible that the engine cover insulation does not
fully extend to the perimeter of the factory engine cover. In addition, vehicles
built on a Ford chassis may have higher engine compartment temperatures
during certain idle conditions.

What is the risk?

This may result in elevated temperatures at certain areas of the engine cover
surface in the passenger compartment on both driver and passenger sides.
Direct and continuous contact with exposed skin at these locations may
increase the risk of skin irritation and/or a minor burn.

What will Ford and
your dealer do?

Software is available to repair your vehicle. Ford Motor Company has
authorized your dealer to reprogram the Powertrain Control Module and if
equipped, inspect the factory engine cover to install thermal insulation patches
if necessary, free of charge. Your dealer will also perform an additional
verification process to ensure that the software has installed correctly on your
vehicle.

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 and request a service date for Recall
25SC7. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at
the beginning of this letter.
Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety
recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your vehicle
remedied as soon as practicable. You can continue to safely drive your vehicle
if you avoid direct contact with the lower portion of the engine cover, which is
located between the driver and front passenger seats.

ford.com/support for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
Ford Motor Company wants you to have this safety recall completed on your
vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have
