PROGRAM TERMS
This program will be in effect through May 31, 2016. There is no mileage limit for this program.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Certain 2011 through 2014 models residing in Green States (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts , New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington) as follows:
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS. In addition, for a list of vehicles assigned to your dealership, visit https://web.fsavinlists.dealerconnection.com. This information will be available on May 14, 2014.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
A software error exists in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that allows Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS) signal faults to disable various On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) monitors without illuminating the MIL.
SERVICE ACTION
Before delivering any of the vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration using IDS release 90.01 and higher. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
An inactive OBD Monitor affects the vehicle only if other specific faults occur. Because these faults are expected to be rare, owners will not be notified by mail to schedule their vehicle for service. Dealers should, however, perform this repair on any affected vehicles that are identified in OASIS that are brought to their dealerships for any other service.
AFFECTED VEHICLES:
[Includes MY 2013-14 Escape 2.5, 2.0L with build dates April 11, 2012 through July 16, 2013; 2014 1.6L with build dates June 3, 2013 through July 18, 2013.]
