PARTS RETENTION, RETURN, & SCRAPPING
Follow the provisions of the Warranty and Policy Manual, Section 1 - WARRANTY PARTS
RETENTION AND RETURN POLICIES. If a replaced part receives a scrap disposition, the part must
be scrapped by all applicable local, state, and federal environmental protection and hazardous
material regulations. Federal law prohibits selling motor vehicle parts or components that are under
safety, compliance, or emissions recall.
EXCESS STOCK RETURN
The excess stock returned for credit must have been purchased from Ford Customer Service Division
by Policy Procedure Bulletin 4000.
REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF
Effective March 1st, 2021, all parts replaced as part of an FSA repair with a repair order open date of
March 1st, 2021, or later must be inspected and signed off on the repair order by a member of your
dealer’s fixed operations management team or an employee the task has been delegated to. If the
task is to be delegated to a non-management employee, the employee needs to be someone other
than the technician who completed the repair and needs to understand the importance of completing
this task consistently and accurately.
• All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department
following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies.
• Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed.
• If the FSA repair is found to be complete, the designated employee signs the repair order line
or parts return stamp area (electronic or hand signed) for the FSA repair indicating the parts
were inspected and validated to have been replaced.
• After the parts have been inspected, they should be handled based on the guidance in the
parts status report in the Online Warranty System (Hold, Return, CORE, Scrap, etc.). Please
visit FMCDEALER > PARTS & SERVICE > WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION & WARRANTY
PARTS RETURN for the latest Immediate Scrap List information.
• This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order
open date of March 1st, 2021, or later. Any eligible FSA claims requiring parts replacement
found not to have been inspected and signed off during a warranty audit will be subject to
chargeback and consideration for enrollment into the Dealer Incomplete Recall Repair
Process.
Note: Other approvals (electronic or handwritten) for add-on repair lines, dealer-owned vehicle
repairs, and repeat repairs do not qualify as FSA parts inspection approvals. The post-repair FSA
parts inspection process (electronic or handwritten) is independent of other warranty approval
requirements. The approval by the designated employee implies that the FSA parts were found to be
replaced and must be able to be identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSAs require approval on a
single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post-repair approval by the
designated employee.

the voltage real time using the indicator at the bottom right corner of FDRS to ensure that it is
within this range.
NOTE: Verify that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not
the 12 volt battery negative terminal to prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the
vehicle.
NOTE: If the diagnostic software does not load or if the vehicle cannot be identified properly, make sure 		
there is a good internet connection and the Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) is properly 		
connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
NOTE: VCM 3 is recommended for improved data download time.

without errors.
• Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect 		
FDRS/scan tool to a power source.
NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic software.		
• Inspect the Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II)/Vehicle Communication Module III (VCM III) or
the Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module (VCMM) and the 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 FDRS/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.

Customer Satisfaction Program 23B26
Mr. John Sample
123 Main Street
Anywhere, USA 12345
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567
At Ford Motor Company, we are committed not only to building high-quality, dependable products but
also to building a community of happy, satisfied customers. To demonstrate that commitment, we are
providing a no-charge Customer Satisfaction Program for your vehicle with the VIN shown above.
Why are you receiving
this notice?
The Telematic Control Unit (TCU) may be missing from your vehicle.
What is the effect?
You may first see a “FEATURE UNAVAILABLE” error message when trying
to activate the vehicle from the FordPass app. This may result in an
inoperative FordPass activation.
What will Ford and
your dealer do?
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized
your dealer to install a TCU (if it’s not present) free of charge (parts and
labor) under the terms of this program.
This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until August 14, 2024
regardless of mileage. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent
owners.
How long will it take?
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. In addition, your vehicle will require an inspection to
determine if parts need to be ordered.
What should you do?
Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for
Customer Satisfaction Program 23B26. Provide the dealer with your VIN,
which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter.
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access
ford.com/support for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
Ford Motor Company wants you to have this service action completed on
your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to
have the work completed.
 Copyright 2023 Ford Motor Company
NOTE: You can receive information about Recalls and Customer
Satisfaction Programs through our FordPass App. The app can be
downloaded through the App Store or Google Play. In addition, there are
other features such as reserving parking in certain locations and controlling
certain functions on your vehicle (lock or unlock doors, remote start) if it is
equipped to allow control.
What if you no longer
own this vehicle?
If you no longer own this vehicle and have an address for the current owner,
please forward this letter to the new owner.
You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on
state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner.
Can we assist you
further?
If you have difficulties getting your vehicle repaired promptly and without
charge, please contact your dealership's Service Manager for assistance.
RETAIL OWNERS: If you have questions or concerns, please contact our
Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332 and one of our
representatives will be happy to assist you. If you wish to contact us through
