TSB or Extended Coverage letter

Evening, has anyone received this letter? It was circulating on Facebook and there was some speculation that its only referring to C&C trucks?

Well, if you had the VIN, you might be able to determine the type of truck. Without more info than shown, you are whistling in the wind.

No letter here. Also what years would be useful.

The grapevine says 11-14 but that is unconfirmed, as is other pertinent info; for example, just the original owner or just C&C?
Thats why I brought it over here for your viewing pleasure.

I believe in 2015 Ford upgraded the bearings in the turbo from ceramic to metal. Wonder if they put a 2015 turbo in? From what I've been told if you do that you need to replace the CP4 pump and do a tune. I know folks have line of sight to part numbers, wonder if the 11 - 14 turbo part number is the same as the 15 & 16's.

The extension of the warranty would be for the truck regardless of the owner. Without a VIN to id this person's truck, you have no way of know if C&C or all 2011-2014's.

There are no listings on the site for 2016 and newer trucks.

good investigative skills, I saw that but w/out my glasses I couldnt read it lol.. So.... Bit fishy to me.. Fords playing serious politics. I can see the brass thinking “business owners”.... I know their a bit different under the hood but what the hell would prevent F250s and F350s from being included from a turbo charger failure related extended coverage. We all know their all susceptible..

Fishy or not, that is what Ford has said they will do. It's true the 11's and early 12's had weak turbo bearings, that was further exasperated by guys that tuned their engines to spool those turbos to higher psi. I'm pretty sure mid-2012 and later had revised turbo bearings, and then in 2015 an entirely new turbo came along.
