OMB Control No.: 2127-0004 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-188 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Manufacturer Name : Ford Motor Company Submission Date : MAR 25, 2022 NHTSA Recall No. : 22V-188 Manufacturer Recall No. : 22S15 Manufacturer Information : Manufacturer Name : Ford Motor Company Address : 330 Town Center Drive Suite 500 Dearborn MI 48126-2738 Company phone : 1-866-436-7332 Population : Number of potentially involved : 47,084 Estimated percentage with defect : 1 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2021-2021 Ford F-150 Vehicle Type : LIGHT VEHICLES Body Style : PICKUP TRUCK Power Train : GAS Descriptive Information : Affected vehicles are equipped with 3.5L GTDI, 2.7L and 5.0L engines, 10R80 transmissions and not equipped with Auto Start-Stop technology. 3.5L GTDI, 2.7L and 5.0L engines and non-start/stop equipped vehicles built between July 28, 2021 and December 20, 2021 have a transmission diagnostic logic inadvertently activated. These vehicles are not produced in VIN order. Information as to the applicability of this action to specific vehicles can best be obtained by either calling Ford’s toll-free line (1-866-436-7332) or by contacting a local Ford or Lincoln dealer who can obtain specific information regarding the vehicles from the Ford On-line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) database. Production Dates : JUL 28, 2021 – DEC 20, 2021 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : The Transmission Fluid Pressure Low Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may falsely activate and cause the transmission to shift into a neutral state. This can occur at any speed. If a false activation occurs, the vehicle will coast to a stop as if it is in Neutral, and the electronic shifter will attempt to engage Park below speeds of 2 mph/3 kph. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the electronic shifter will automatically shift into Park. FMVSS 1 : NR Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-188 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : A loss of motive power while driving can increase the risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : A transmission calibration diagnostic logic was inadvertently activated for certain vehicles without Auto Start-Stop technology. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : A wrench light will illuminate when this occurs. Transmission function can be restored upon a key-off/key-on cycle. Involved Components : Component Name 1 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BGA Component Name 2 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BLA Component Name 3 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BMA Component Name 4 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-RAH Component Name 5 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BFB Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-188 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Component Name 6 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BJB Component Name 7 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BHA Component Name 8 : PCM/ECM Calibration Software Component Description : 2021 F-150 Component Part Number : ML3A-14C204-BKA Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : NR Address : NR NR Country : NR Chronology : February – March 2022 On February 4th, Ford’s Driveline Engineering team brought an issue to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) regarding loss-of-mobility reports on certain 2021MY F150 vehicles. Specifically, Ford identified an increase in Transmission Fluid Pressure Low Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0868 codes being set on specific 2021MY F150 vehicles equipped with 3.5L GTDI, 2.7L and 5.0L engines and the 10R80 transmission. When this code is set, the vehicle transmission will enter a neutral state. Engineering investigation found that one of the powertrain diagnostic logic software branches was turned on in error when these vehicles were produced. Under certain conditions, this diagnostic logic could inadvertently activate the Pump-Gear-Failure-Detection logic even though the hardware is functioning properly. When this occurs, the transmission on-board-diagnostics will set the DTC P0868, turn on a Wrench Light telltale, and the vehicle’s transmission will shift into a neutral state. As the vehicle slows to a speed below 2 mph/3kph, the electronic shifter will attempt to engage the Park function and will automatically shift into Park when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Transmission function can be immediately restored upon a key-off/key-on cycle. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-188 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 CCRG analyzed the field data and trends. Between October 22, 2021 and February 9, 2022 there have been 28 warranty claims and one Customer Contact Center report to Ford potentially related to this concern. CCRG also reviewed the one (1) Vehicle Owner questionnaire (“VOQ”) report received by NHTSA concerning this issue. On March 18, 2022, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action. Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software updated per standard workshop manual procedures. There will be no charge for this service. Ford provided the general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners prior to notification of a safety recall in May 2021. The ending date for reimbursement eligibility is April 29, 2022. Ford will forward a copy of the notification letters to dealers to the agency when available. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Updated PCM software deactivates the unintended transmission diagnostic logic which is not required for these vehicles. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : NR Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Notification to dealers is expected to occur on March 29, 2022. Mailing of owner notification letters is expected to begin May 2, 2022 and is expected to be completed by May 6, 2022. Planned Dealer Notification Date : MAR 29, 2022 – MAR 29, 2022 Planned Owner Notification Date : MAY 02, 2022 – MAY 06, 2022 * NR – Not Reported

Production Dates : FEB 10, 2020 – FEB 28, 2022 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain Model Year (“MY”) 2021-2022 C-Class (206 platform), E-Class (213 platform), S-Class (223 platform), SL (232 platform), EClass Coupe/Convertible (238 platform), CLS (257 platform), AMG GT 4-doors Coupe (290 platform) and EQS (297 platform) vehicles that have a leather steering wheel with steering wheel heating, the hands-off detection might not detect when the driver’s hands are away from the steering wheel when using the Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC system. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : In this situation, a driver may not receive a warning message prompting the driver to grip the steering wheel as described in the owner’s manual. Additionally, in the event of a medical emergency involving the driver (e.g. driver loses consciousness), the vehicle could continue to drive and would not trigger the Active Emergency Stop Assist, as intended. Therefore, the vehicle would not stop and would not conduct an emergency call. In this case, First Responders would not be called to the vehicle, which could further increasing the risk of injury of the medical emergency. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-189 Page 8 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of the Cause : Due to a production deviation at a supplier, the hands-off detection on the leather steering wheel with steering wheel heating might not meet current production specifications. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : The driver will not receive a warning due to the nature of the failure mechanism.

In August 2021, both MBAG and the supplier conducted analyses to identify the root cause. In September 2021, the supplier launched a check in its plant to identify potentially affected parts. In November 2021, a software update was available in all potentially affected MBAG plants. Accordingly, MBAG initiated a plant rework campaign to update the software to current production specifications. Starting from mid-November, MBAG conducted analyses to identify potentially affected vehicles in the field and potential consequences. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-189 Page 10 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 In January 2022, MBAG analyzed the likelihood of the failure pattern outlined above together with the supplier. In general, neither field complaints nor other reports associated with the descripted issue above were received.
