Michael A. Berardi Director Service Engineering Operations Ford Customer Service Division Ford Motor Company P. O. Box 1904 Dearborn, Michigan 48121 June 7, 2016 TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers SUBJECT: Customer Satisfaction Program 16B24 Certain 2011-2012 Model Year F-Super Duty Chassis Cab Vehicles Equipped with a 6.7L Diesel Engine Powertrain Control Module Reprogramming Safety Recall 15S09-S1 - Reprogram Powertrain Control Module Dated June 7, 2016 Emission Recall 14E03-S2 - Reprogram Powertrain Control Module Dated June 7, 2016 REF : PROGRAM TERMS This program will be in effect through June 30, 2017. There is no mileage limit for this program. URGENCY Dealers should utilize their FSA VIN Lists name and address (available by June 24, 2016) to contact customers with affected vehicles. This will help minimize the number of vehicles that may experience turbocharger damage, which requires a more extensive repair. AFFECTED VEHICLES Vehicle F-Super Duty Model Year Assembly Plant 2011-2012 Kentucky Build Dates November 4, 2009 through October 19, 2012 Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists. REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM In all of the affected vehicles, the powertrain control module (PCM) strategy may not protect against some operating conditions that can result in fatigue of the turbocharger turbine blades. If operated under these conditions for prolonged periods of time, turbocharger damage can occur and may result in engine noise, reduced power and/or a Malfunction Indicator Lamp on with Diagnostic Trouble Codes for low boost performance. SERVICE ACTION Dealers are to reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration using Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) release 99.05 or higher. NOTE: Some of the affected vehicles are also included in Safety Recall 15S09 and Emission Recall 14E03. Reprogramming the PCM with the software contained in IDS version 99.05 or higher provides a single repair for 16B24, 15S09 and 14E03. If affected, the Ford system will automatically close 15S09 and 14E03 upon claim payment of 16B24. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. Copyright 2016 Ford Motor Company OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of June 20, 2016. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

NOTE: Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraftservice.com. NOTE: Follow the IDS on-screen instructions to complete the reprogramming procedure. 3. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the reprogramming has completed. CPR © 2016 FORD MOTOR COMPANY DEARBORN, MICHIGAN 48121 6/2016 ATTACHMENT III PAGE 2 OF 2 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16B24 Important Information for Module Programming NOTE: When programming or reprogramming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors. • Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect IDS/scan tool to a power source. • Inspect Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming. • A hardwired connection is strongly recommended. • Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors. • Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio, etc.). • Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully. • Disable IDS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes. • Create all sessions key on engine off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process. Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module: NEVER DELETE THE ORIGINAL SESSION! a. Obtain the original IDS that was used when the programming error occurred during module reprogramming (MR) or programmable module installation (PMI). b. Disconnect the VCM from the data link connector (DLC) and the IDS. c. Reconnect the VCM to IDS and then connect to the DLC. Once reconnected, the VCM icon should appear in the corner of the IDS screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the IDS to VCM connection. d. Locate the original vehicle session when programming failed. This should be the last session used in most cases. If not, use the session created on the date that the programming failed. NOTE: If the original session is not listed in the previous session list, click the Recycle Bin icon at the lower right of the previous session screen. This loads any deleted sessions and allows you to look through them. Double-click the session to restore it. e. Once the session is loaded, the failed process should resume automatically. f. If programming does not resume automatically, proceed to the Module Programming menu and select the previously attempted process, PMI or MR. g. Follow all on-screen prompts/instructions. h. The last screen on the IDS may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps listed on the screen are followed in order.
