TSB Document:
Affected Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
- Summary
- Some 2014-2019 Fusion and 2017-2019 Escape with 1.5L engine may exhibit coolant usage and white smoke from exhaust. Follow Cooling System Pressure Test process in WSM, Section 303-03. Pressurize system to 138kPa(20 psi) and hold 5 hours. If system pressure drops 27.57kPa(4psi) after 5 hours and borescope inspection through spark plug holes shows coolant presence in bores, the short block must be replaced. Further teardown inspection is not required, nor is completing cost cap. Cost cap requirements are waived for repairs completed utilizing this SSM. Reuse the original cylinder head for the repair. Ford has found all returned 1.5L cylinder heads pass inspection and replacement was not required. Follow WSM, Section 303-01A for repair procedure and refer the parts catalog as needed. Any backorders experienced will be filled as quickly as possible.
