Some 2017 Explorer/Taurus/Police vehicles equipped with a 3.5L or 3.7L twin independent variable camshaft timing (TiVCT) engine, built on 14-Jun-2017 and through 21-Jun-2017, may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0740 or P0743 stored in powertrain control module (PCM) memory.

Prior to replacing any components, check pin 14 in connecter c168 for correct fitment, tension, push out, or any signs of damage.

If terminal replacement is necessary, pigtail kit 8U2Z-14S411-ACB can be ordered to obtain the terminal with wire lead.

If no concerns are found with C168, follow normal diagnostic routines for the fault codes.

FORD RECALLS 202,000 EXPLORER SUVS AND F-150 TRUCKS

DECEMBER 1, 2017Ford is recalling more than 202,000 model year 2016 Ford Explorer SUVs The recalled 2016 Ford F-150 trucks were built in Michigan and Kansas City between January 22, 2016, and April 19, 2016, and the recalled 2016 Ford Explorers were built in Chicago during the same time period.

Ford dealers will handle the recall repairs in two ways. Dealers will measure the torque of the power seat pivot link bolt and if the bolt passes inspection, dealers will remove and clean the bolt, apply new threadlock and reinstall the bolt using the correct torque.

However, if the bolt fails inspection, Ford technicians will apply new threadlock and the bolt will be reinstalled as an interim repair until the final repair is available. The final repair will have dealers replacing the lift links with new bushings and fasteners.

Owners of 2016 Ford Explorer SUVs and Ford F-150 trucks may contact Ford at 866-436-7332 and use reference number 17S40

Ford F-150 trucks because the front power seat cushions can loosen and cause problems in a crash.

About 177,000 of the recalled vehicles are in the U.S., another 22,620 are in Canada and nearly 2,400 are recalled in Mexico.


Ford says upper left-hand pivot bolts can loosen and fall out of the front power seat adjusters, leaving the front seat cushions to move around in a crash. However, the automaker says it's unaware of any crashes or injuries related to the loose pivot bolts.

The recalled 2016 Ford F-150 trucks were built in Michigan and Kansas City between January 22, 2016, and April 19, 2016, and the recalled 2016 Ford Explorers were built in Chicago during the same time perioiod.

SSM 46888 – 2017 Explorer – 110V Power Inverter – High Pitched Buzzing/Ringing Noise With Engine Running From Passenger Side Front Interior

Some 2017 Explorer vehicles equipped with a 110V power inverter may exhibit a high pitched buzzing or ringing noise from the passenger side front interior area while the engine is running.

To isolate the noise to the power inverter, remove fuse 56 from the battery junction box with the engine running.

Make sure there is nothing plugged into the 110V outlet during the test.

If the noise is no longer present with the fuse removed, the noise is isolated to the inverter and no other components should be replaced.

Replacement of the inverter may not resolve the noise.

Engineering is aware of the concern and is investigating.

The noise does not affect the operation of the power inverter.

Please submit a Global Concern Report and continue to monitor OASIS for updates.

Inspect for a touch condition between the brake pedal arm stop lamp switch bracket and the brake booster push rod clevis pin bracket.

If a touch condition exists, replace the brake pedal assembly.

2015-2016 Edge/MKX And 2013-2016 Explorer/Taurus – Automatic Transmission Fluid Leaking From The PTU Temperature Sensor

Some 2015-2016 Edge/MKX and 2013-2016 Explorer/Taurus vehicles may exhibit a condition where automatic transmission fluid (ATF) may appear to be leaking from the power transfer unit (PTU) temperature sensor.

ATF in the area of the PTU temperature sensor may be the result of a leaking right hand (RH) intermediate shaft seal deflector.

Replacement of the PTU temperature sensor will not resolve this condition.

To correct the condition replace the RH intermediate shaft seal.

Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 308-07.
