We apologize for this inconvenience and want to correct this condition. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service and support. What is the issue? On your vehicle, the Frontal Area stated on both VECI labels is incorrect and new labels are needed to meet the applicable label requirements. What should you do? Included with this letter are two revised VECI labels to be installed on your vehicle. Both labels are identical. To install the labels, clean the existing labels with cleaner/degreaser and wipe dry using a clean towel. Apply the new labels directly over the original labels. The locations of the VECI labels are as follows: One label is on the passenger side valve cover on the engine. You will need to pull back the engine cover to access the label. The other label is located on the underside of the hood. If you prefer to have your dealer install the labels for you, call your Ford dealer and ask for a service date for Special Field Action 16L02. Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to install both labels free of charge (parts and labor). This Special Field Action will be in effect until April 30, 2017 regardless of mileage. Please remember to bring your VECI labels with you if you take your vehicle to the dealer. The time needed for this repair is less than one-half day.
