Summary

Some 2019-2020 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 2.7L EcoBoost engine may experience an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P2196 and/or P2198 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) with no drivability concerns. Engineering is working to implement a solution for this condition. In the interim, clear the DTCs with the appropriate Ford scan tool and schedule a follow-up appointment with the customer for July 2020. Advise the customer that a repair is expected to be available in early July 2020 and that the condition has no effect on vehicle operation or long term durability.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 518 complaints in the engine category.
