Customer Satisfaction Program 23B61
Certain 2023 Model Year Escape and Corsair Vehicles Equipped with a 2.0L Engine
Seal Replacement for Turbocharger Coolant Return Tube to Cylinder Head
PROGRAM TERMS
This program will be in effect through November 30, 2024. There is no mileage limit for this program.
URGENCY / EXPIRATION DATE
This Customer Satisfaction Program has an expiration date of November 30, 2024 to encourage
dealers and customers to have this service performed as soon as possible.
We recommend dealers utilize their FSA VIN Lists’ names and address to contact customers with
affected vehicles. This will help minimize the number of vehicles that may overheat due to loss of
coolant. FSA VIN Lists are expected to be available on November 7, 2023.

US population of affected vehicles: 88. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
Note: Some vehicles may be in the process of being repaired at the plant. Monitor OASIS before
opening an RO and/or beginning a repair. Parts purchased for an FSA can be returned for credit if
required. See the EXCESS STOCK RETURN details in Labor Allowances and Parts Ordering
Information for more information.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
In some of the affected vehicles, a turbocharger coolant return tube seal may have been damaged in
the engine manufacturing assembly process. A damaged turbo coolant line seal may develop an
engine coolant leak.
Customers may detect coolant loss and/or see coolant under the vehicle. If a customer does not
notice the coolant leak under the vehicle and continues to drive with a low coolant level, the engine
may overheat, an engine Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will illuminate, and the vehicle will be forced
into limp-home mode.

SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to replace the turbocharger coolant return tube seal on the cylinder head. This service
must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

available, dealers should:
• Arrange to pick up the owner’s vehicle and drive it to the dealership for repairs.
o Re-deliver the owner’s vehicle after repairs have been completed.
• Pick-up and delivery should be made available for all customers. Refer to the Rental and
Claiming sections for further details.

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.
