Folks are having to search for all of the TSBs and SSMs related to a number of issues specific to the GEN3 Raptors and I thought it might be time for us to have a pinned thread. If you know of a TSB or SSM, please provide the info below. Also please provide the same info for known issues that Ford is "working on a fix" for but has not released a TSB and SSM. I'll monitor the thread and update this original post with the TSBs and SSMs as they're identified:
1. Known GEN3 Issue
2. TSB or SSM Number
3. Production Dates the TSB/SSM applies to
4. TSB/SSM Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Known Issue: Clunk/Thump/Rattle Noise From The Front And/Or Rear When Going Over Bumps
2. SSM: SSM 50972
3. Production Dates: Built On Or Before 16-Jun-2022
4. SSM Notes: Some 2021-2022 F-150 Raptor vehicles built on or before 16-Jun-2022 may experience a clunk, thump, and/or rattle noise from the front and /or rear when going over bumps. This may be due to a concern with the shock absorbers. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Sections 100-04 and 204-00 to perform the appropriate noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) diagnosis and inspections. If diagnosis leads to a shock absorber, replace only the affected shock absorber(s). Refer to WSM, Sections 204-01B (front) and/or 204-02 (rear). For claiming, use causal part 18124 (front) or 18125 (rear) and applicable labor operations in Section 03 (front) and/or Section 05 (rear) of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
