Customer Satisfaction Program 25B65

January 2026

Mr. John Sample
123 Main Street
Anywhere, USA 12345
12345678901234567
At Ford Motor Company, we are committed not only to building high-quality, dependable products but
also to building a community of happy, satisfied customers. To demonstrate that commitment, we are
providing a no-charge Customer Satisfaction Program for your vehicle.
Why are you
receiving this notice?

Your vehicle’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may allow an engine
overspeed condition in certain situations.

What is the effect?

Engine overspeed can lead to a progression of symptoms, including engine
noise, misfires, running rough, and a check engine light. Continued operation
may lead to vehicle no-start, a reduction in power, and potential engine failure.

What will Ford and
your dealer do?

Software is available to repair your vehicle. In the interest of customer
satisfaction, Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to reprogram the
PCM free of charge under the terms of this program.
This Customer Satisfaction Program will be in effect until December 22, 2026,
regardless of mileage. Coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent
owners.

How long will it take?

The time needed for this repair is less than one-half day. However, due to
service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a
longer period of time.

What should you do?

Please call your dealer without delay to schedule a service appointment for
Customer Satisfaction Program 25B65.
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access ford.com/support
for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
Ford Motor Company wants you to have this service action completed on your
vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have the
work completed. Ford Motor Company can deny coverage for any vehicle
damage that may result from the failure to have this service action performed
on a timely basis. Therefore, please have this service action performed as
soon as possible.

 Copyright 2025 Ford Motor Company

What should you do?
(continued)

NOTE - You can receive information about Recalls and Customer Satisfaction
Programs through our Ford App. The app can be downloaded through the App
Store or Google Play. In addition, there are other features such as reserving
parking in certain locations and controlling certain functions on your vehicle
(lock or unlock doors, remote start) if it is equipped to allow control.

Mobile Service

Ford Mobile Service is offered by participating dealers. Contact your dealer for
details.

Pick-Up and Delivery

Complimentary vehicle Pick-Up & Delivery service may also be available upon
request through participating dealers. Your dealer will pick up your vehicle and
return it with the repair completed.

What if you no longer
own this vehicle?

If you no longer own this vehicle and have an address for the current owner,
please forward this letter to the new owner.
You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on
state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner or
lessee.

Can we assist you
further?

If you have difficulties getting your vehicle repaired promptly and without
charge, please contact your dealership’s Service Manager for assistance.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact our Ford Recall
Assistance Center (RAC) at 1-866-436-7332 and one of our representatives
will be happy to assist you. The RAC is open on weekdays from 8:30 AM –
7:00 PM (Eastern Time). TTY/TDD users, please contact the RAC at the
number listed using the Telecommunication Relay Service by dialing 711.
If you wish to contact us through the internet, our address is ford.com/support.
