REASON FOR PROVIDING EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE In the affected vehicles, water entering the doors in cold temperatures can cause door latching components to freeze. Ford is offering this no charge service to customers that have experienced a frozen door latch to install additional sealing to the front doors and crew cab rear doors, which will prevent water intrusion and door latch freezing. SERVICE ACTION If an affected vehicle has exhibited a frozen latch, dealers are to install additional sealing to the front doors and crew cab rear doors, and lubricate certain door latch, door handle and cable components. This service must be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner. Note: The technical instructions for this program include all additional steps required to also complete safety recall 17S33, if 17S33 is open. Copyright 2018 Ford Motor Company OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Due to the large volume of vehicles affected by this program, owners of affected vehicles will be notified in six separate mailings. Mailing will begin the week of October 1, 2018, and is expected to complete by December 31, 2018. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that experience a frozen door latch whether or not the customer has received a letter.
