Wow, Ford Sent a New Label to put on My Maverick for Environmental Compliance

[CTYankee]

If I were taking my Mav in for service, sure, I'd let them do it, but I'm not doing a 25-mile round-trip to do something I can do in 2 minutes. Since it doesn't pertain to me because I no longer have my 22, I wasn't aware there was any record update needed to be done. I no longer have the 22 on my Ford Pass.

My dealer is 2.5 miles away and I go past there frequently. That's why there's no reason not to let the dealer do it. If I were in your situation, I'd probably do it myself or wait for the next service interval.

I was going to post a screen shot of the notice in FordPass, but it seems to have disappeared even though I haven't received the new sticker yet. Must be in the mail.

My EB was built in June, 2022. Looks like a lot of EB owners will be getting this letter and label....

Just gone mine today .

I received a letter from Ford today. At first, I thought it was some sort of recall letter and had a big frown on my face. After reading the letter, it turns out that a label needs to go under the hood to meet "Environmental Certification Requirements". I have attached a picture of the label. There are four pages of installation instructions; two in English and two in Spanish. One page in each language tells me how to open the hood and secure it in an upright position. Ford dealers are also authorized to install the label. So, I could set up an appointment, drive 25 miles to the nearest dealer and wait while the label is installed. Hard to say what the dealer charges for this challenging fix??? I believe I can handle this job on my own although I have little mechanical skill!!!

I will do this FIRST thing in the AM as I do want to be environmentally certified. Without the label there may be a penalty similar to the penalty of removing the tag on a new mattress!! Hey, who says Ford isn't on top of the situation! This appears to only apply to an Ecoboost engine.

I have to ask, Did the label come with a warning from California , that the glue on the back would give you cancer and kill you dead?

It did have a warning: Anyone over the age of 65 (applies to me) should be very careful of what he/she licks...

Got the same letter and sticker from Ford. If you followed the instructions it would not work. It doesn't say anything about peeling the paper off the back before installing.

More government nanny intrusion.
