Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567
It has come to our attention that the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label for your
vehicle, with the VIN shown above, does not list the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and EGR
Cooler (EGRC) components in the engine content description. 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 VECI label does not list the EGR and EGRC
components in the engine content description. A VECI label missing
emissions component information does not meet emission certification
documentation requirements.
Note: Your vehicle was built with the intended hardware.
What will Ford and
your dealer do?
Enclosed is a VECI label with the correct information along with instructions
for installation. You may install the label yourself. Alternately, your dealer is
also authorized to install the new VECI label free of charge (parts and labor).
• If dealer installation: Please bring the label with you.
This Special Field Action will not expire, regardless of miles.
How long will it take?
If you choose to have your dealer install the label, the time needed for this
repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling
requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time.
What should you do?
Included with this letter is the VECI label for your vehicle along with
installation instructions should you wish to install the label yourself. If you
prefer to have your dealer install the VECI label, call your Ford dealer and
ask for a service date for Special Field Action 22L05 to install the VECI label.
• If dealer installation: Please bring the label with you. If you do not
have a replacement label: When setting up the service appointment,
inform the dealer that you need the VECI label so that the dealer can
order it in advance of the appointment.
