Nhtsa recall 17v550: metro worldwide bus vehicle exceeds gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) when fully loaded. the manufacturer's proposed remedy IS to remove seats until the gvwr IS in compliance. The manufacturer offered $1,500 per seat removed as compensation. But removing seats dramatically reduces the effectiveness of the bus for its intended purpose. If we knew that the manufacturer couldn't follow through on their promise to provide vehicles meeting required specification, metro worldwide would not have been considered. We believe that the manufacturer was negligent and in violation of the law for improperly building the buses. The dealer, hoglund bus, was also negligent for selling the buses to us that did not comply with nhtsa safety standards. Both the manufacturer and the dealer should bear the responsibility of replacing the buses at no charge. we believe full bus replacement IS fair because if we wanted 16, 18 or 20 passenger buses, we could have gotten them cheaper from other manufacturers than the 22 passenger buses metro worldwide promised.

Bought 2016 thor four winds model vin [xxx] 8-3-2015 new. Took it out on the first road trip oct 2015 and had a flat tire due to improper installation of mud flaps by campland rv. Had to argue with campland and thor to get the tire covered. This ended up costing me time, money and lose of use. I had to pay for the new tire and pay to have it mounted. I complained that the other tires were damaged from the rubbing and losing air. They would not replace the other tire damaged from the rubbing of the damaged tire. Filed a claim for tire 11-20-2015 229.79 12-3-2015 +99 mount 12-3-2015 complained to campland and thor motor coach about camper leak and tire issues again losing air campland set tires to mfg specs. Nothing was done about the tires. Took rv out on another trip oct 2016 checked tire psi upon return trip because tires looked low. Had a tire company air up the tires in alabama. Upon the return trip home had a tire blow out on the interstate. Contacted campland, ford, michelin, ford freeway ford. I told them I did not feel safe driving the rv with bad tires and I asked for them to be replaced. Took rv to discount tire, and they recommended replacement. Tire had less than 4,000 miles. Ford towed the rv to freeland ford to fix the blow out and fix the rest of the tires. The rv was down from oct 2016-jan 10 2017. The results were slow and no one wanted to take accountability for the bad tires losing air. Everyone wants to keep pointing fingers, but nothing gets done. Finally replaced the blown out tire and tightened the value stems. Upon towing the towing company did not leave the axle freeland had to replace the axle from towing. Got the rv back and complained again that tires were losing air. May 1 2017 went to take rv out for next trip it has 6,000 miles on it and it has flat tires again. Called campland, ford, michelin, freeway ford, again no one wants to take responsibility to replace the damaged tires that lose air still.

TL* the contact owns a 2016 ford E-450. When attempting to have the brake fluid service performed, it was discovered that the reservoir cap indicated dot 3 brake fluid was in the vehicle. The owner's manual indicated that the brake fluid for that vehicle was type dot 4 brake fluid. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not serviced due to the confusion. The contact was concerned that due to the two different types of brake fluid labeling, it could potentially cause a brake failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the brake fluid type was unknown, but would call the contact back with an answer. The failure mileage was 3,400.

Thor motor coach sold me a 2016 four winds class c model 23U motor home with a class IV hitch that IS not safe for the stated capacity of 8,000 pounds. If the hitch IS used in the stated 8,000 pound capacity, the hitch will fail and cause an accident. Ford motor company makes the E450 chassis that…
Thor motor coach sold me a 2016 four winds class c model 23U motor home with a class IV hitch that IS not safe for the stated capacity of 8,000 pounds. If the hitch IS used in the stated 8,000 pound capacity, the hitch will fail and cause an accident. Ford motor company makes the E450 chassis that the motor home body IS mounted on. Ford states that the tongue weight for a properly loaded 8,000 pound trailer should be in the range of 800 to 1,200 pounds (10% to 15%). Thor motor coach has de-rated the hitch capacity to 500 pounds which results in a maximum safe hitch rating of 5,000 pounds. It IS my understanding that if I am to have a safe tow with an 8,000 pound trailer, I will need a minimum of 800 pounds on the hitch which may lead to a substantial and serious mechanical failure. Thor motor coach advertises the hitch as 8,000 pounds which may directly lead to unsafe towing. I am concerned that many motor home owners will rely on the thor motor coach statement for an 8,000 pound hitch and seriously overload the supplied hitch. It IS my understanding that about 4,500 people died in towing related accidents between 2002 and 2012. I am attaching a picture of the actual hitch rating plate. I recommend that thor motor coach quit advertising the hitch at 8,000 pounds due the accident prone towing condition this creates.

- 10183749In some of the affected vehicles, the front control/display interface module (FCDIM) may have been unintentionally programmed for the European market instead of the North American market
- 10164508Some 2010-2020 vehicles may exhibit distorted glass with a subtle orange peel pattern or streaking etched into the surface. This is caused by hydrofluoric acid which is used in some car wash solutions as a cleaning agent. Hydrofluoric acid can attack the glass and cause visual distortion and/or discoloration on the outer surface which cannot be removed by further cleaning. If this type of distortion is found, inspect the area of the glass that is covered by the cowl and/or molding. The portion of glass that is covered by the cowl or molding will not be affected by the acid. Hydrofluoric acid damage is not a defect in material or workmanship and is not a warrantable condition.
- 10164497For Ford and Lincoln vehicles that require positive or negative battery terminal replacement, it is not necessary to replace the complete battery cable harness (14300 and 14301) for this concern. Positive battery cable clamp BT4Z-14450-AA and negative battery cable clamp BT4Z-14450-BA are available for this type of repair. Do not cut or shorten the battery cable, instead carefully remove the affected battery cable clamp and clean the cable end as necessary to preserve wire length. Some rework may be necessary for some vehicle environments. Bend the new positive battery cable clamp as needed and crimp it to the existing battery cable. Make sure to use heat shrink tubing over the battery cable to battery cable clamp connection. Obtain the heat shrink tube locally.
- 10160931On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission it is imperative that the converter pilot hub be greased with Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Grease Spray XL-5-A even if grease was not applied from the factory. Also verify that the engine/transmission alignment dowel pins are present as well as the engine crankshaft dowel pin, if equipped, when installing the transmission. Failure to adequately lubricate the converter hub greatly increases the likelihood of the flexplate cracking in the future. Missing dowels may cause a misalignment issue also resulting in a premature failure. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01.
- 10159489Some 2013-2019 vehicles equipped with a EVDC air conditioning (A/C) compressor may exhibit poor A/C performance/improper climate function and/or a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P06A0 in the powertrain control module (PCM). To support the proper diagnosis of this compressor, the EVDC control valve tester has been developed and is available from Rotunda (339-EVDC100). A tester has been provided to each U.S. dealership free of charge with shipments completed 19-Apr-2019 (reference EFC07013 on FMCDealer.com). This tester will help reduce the potential for misdiagnosis and unnecessary compressor replacement. Make sure that this tester is used for warranty repairs and document the test results in the Technician Comments field. Refer to the Rotunda catalog for a video and user manual which provide detailed operating instructions.
- 10155575Some 2015-2017 vehicles may experience a no crank concern due to a security access key table error. When attempting to program keys or perform a parameter reset, the procedure may fail and the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) scan tool may display an error 232: Key Table Not Allocated. If this error message is encountered, the Body Control Module (BCM) is internally faulted and requires replacement. For claiming, use causal part 15604 and applicable labor operations in section 10 of the Service Labor Times Standards (SLTS) manual.
- 10155574Various 2013-2019 vehicles may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P264F after powertrain control module (PCM) replacement.

Once the ESN is obtained from the historical vehicle bill of materials (HvBOM), it can be programmed into the PCM using the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. Navigate to the toolbox tab> powertrain menu> Service Functions> ESN.
- 10138524The Accessory (Wireless) Keyless Entry Keypad can only be used with vehicles that are factory built with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE). The master code for the Accessory (Wireless) Keyless Entry Keypad can be retrieved from FMCDealer - Parts and Service - Parts Product Line Information - Keys/Entry Devices - Aftermarket Keyless Entry Keypad Code Access. Access to this site is granted through Dealer Program Enrollment System (DPES) and Dealer Principal, General Manager or Parts and Service Director can authorize users. Once authorized the retrieval process for master code can be obtained. The master code for the Accessory Keyless Entry Keypad cannot be retrieved from the body control module(BCM) with a diagnostic tool.
- 10127405Some vehicles may exhibit a no start condition with an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and a DTC P161A after PCM replacement. This may be due to the parameter reset procedure not being properly completed. To clear this DTC, use the Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) service tool or Ford J2534 Diagnostic Software, select - Toolbox - Body - Security - PATS Functions - Parameter Reset. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the procedure. This procedure will transfer the existing Key ID information between the modules without the need of having 2 programmed PATS keys present. There is no need to program keys when the PCM is going to be replaced. Additional information can be found in the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 419-01. Missing or lost keys are not warrantable.
- 100994632009-2017 vehicles equipped with a 6R80, 6r100, 6r140 automatic transmission have an updated main control valve body overhaul procedure. Refer to workshop manual (wsm), section 307-01 for main control valve body (7a100) overhaul procedures. Not all valve bodies require replacement. Inspect the valve body bores, springs and valves as directed during diagnosis and repair. Refer to general service bulletin (gsb) g0000093 automatic transmission main control inspection for a video clip to aid in the diagnosis of these repairs.
- 10095154To help differentiate engine oil leaks from other possible sources, a new white-colored fluorescent engine oil dye IS available. Workshop manual (wsm), section 303-00 has been revised to reference the new white-colored dye. The new white fluorescent dye provides a distinct white glow to identify engine oil leaks. The new white fluorescent dye requires a pure uv diagnostic inspection lamp. The white-colored fluorescent dye and pure uv lamp are now in the rotunda catalog. Dye and lamp part numbers. Gasoline only dye: 1 ounce bottle 164-tp-33200601. Diesel only dye: 8 ounce bottle: 164-tp-3320-0008. Pure uv diagnostic inspection lamp 164-tp8695 or 164-r3748.
- 10094592Some 2016-2017 e-series 350/450 vehicles equipped without a traction control switch and built on or before 17-feb-2016 may have traction control function or traction control related symptoms. Vehicles without a traction control switch are not intended to have traction control. Reprogram the powertrain control module (pcm) to the latest calibration using ids release 103.01 or higher. Make sure you are connected to the internet when entering module programming to obtain the latest updates. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraftservice.com.
- 10091003Setting the correct tire inflation pressure IS an important step in the pre-delivery process and during routine maintenance intervals. Recent customer clinics revealed that most every vehicle in the clinics had the tire pressures set incorrectly. Tire pressures from the factory are not set to the correct specification. Maintaining the correct tire pressure IS key to the ride characteristics of the vehicle and affects ride quality, handling, load capacity and tire wear. The recommended pressure settings can be found on the tire information label in the driver's side front door jam. Do not use the tire pressures listed on the sidewall of the tires.
