Ford bulletin 22N15
Ford filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Apr 1, 2024, received Jan 2, 2024, about the equipment — 3 documents under this number. It names 37 model years (2020–2023). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Ford 22N15 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 22N15 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does 22N15 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 37 model years: 2023 Ford Bronco Sport, 2022 Ford Bronco Sport, 2021 Ford Bronco Sport, 2023 Ford E-Series, 2022 Ford E-Series, 2021 Ford E-Series and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
