Official summary

Some 2016 explorer vehicles equipped with front parking aid and built on or before 10-may-2016 may exhibit an intermittent front parking aid fault in the message center that may or may not include dtcs in the parking aid module (pam). This may be due to water intrusion into the front bumper wire harness. Follow the tsb service procedure steps to correct the condition.

Vehicles covered

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
