Bulletin Summary
Some 2018 E-350/E-450 vehicles built on 23-Jul-2018 and through 24-Jul-2018 may exhibit increased steering effort, excessive power steering noise, and/or discolored power steering fluid. This may be caused by excessively aerated power steering fluid. If pink aerated fluid is found in the power steering reservoir, do not replace any power steering components such as the power steering gear, pump, cooler, or lines for this condition. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 211-00 - General Procedures - Power Steering System Flushing to correct the concern.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
