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.
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.

Front Door and Front Door Latch Sealing Procedure
IMPORTANT! There are two different front door foam kits available for the F-150 vehicles. One kit comes
with short (65mm funnel wings) door glass funnels (built before December 2016), and the other kit comes
with long (157mm funnel wings) door glass funnels (built December 2016 or later). Funnel usage is
based on vehicle build date and the length of the door glass run installed. Only one front door foam kit is
available for the F-250-F-550 vehicles and the kit contains long (157mm funnel wings) door glass funnels.

CERTAIN 2015-2018 MODEL YEAR F-150 AND 2017-2018 MODEL YEAR F-250 F-550 VEHICLES — DOOR LATCH FREEZING CONCERNS
OVERVIEW
Some of the door foam kits were packaged with incorrect size door glass run funnels. Dealers are to
measure the door glass run funnel wings using the measurement guide below. If a door foam kit is found
to have incorrect size door glass run funnels the correct size door glass run funnels can be removed from
another kit, and that additional kit the door glass run funnels were removed from can also be claimed with
this repair. All unused parts from the additional kit can be scrapped.
NOTE: This packaging error caused rear doors foam kit FL3Z-16308-N to be incorrectly packaged with 		
door glass run funnels from front doors foam kits FL3Z-16308-M. Conversely, the front doors 		
foam kits FL3Z-16308-M were also incorrectly packaged with door glass run funnels from rear 		
doors foam kit FL3Z-16308-N. If foam kits FL3Z-16308-M or FL3Z-16308-N are found to have 		
incorrect funnels the correct funnels can likely be found in the other kit.
NOTE: This packaging error was corrected in December 2018.
