manu:
thanks again for update. that slip tranny issue that larry still has & will not be fixed by the tsb & in my case made it worst which was a mixed blessing as force them to change the 2 sensors.
Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor

This Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor is a Hall-effect pickup that sends a signal to the PCM that indicates transaxle turbine shaft input speed. The TSS sensor provides converter turbine speed information for TCC strategy. Also used in determining static LPC pressure settings.

Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor

The Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is a Hall-effect pickup, located on the transfer shaft drive gear, that sends a signal to the PCM to indicate transmission output speed. The OSS is used for TCC control and shift scheduling

good luck trying to get them to fix it until you can make it happen with tech in car w/ tech laptop hooked to obd port.
but no trouble since they put new sensors in is the good thing
 
Glad to hear it, Mike!  Too bad these gremlins are so hard to pin down, but electronics are often like that ...
 
I think this site is maintaining an active and current list of all TSB and recall notices. The latest power steering recall for my 2011 which was announced couple months ago on list.

If you change year in address bar you can search any year Taurus and further change allows search for other vehicles as well.

Do these TSBs have to be performed while under original warranty? I have noticed that a couple of these apply to me. I purchased an Extended Warranty from my bank. Looks like I have the 12-2-8 (intermediate drifting/pulling) and 10-15-2 (rear 3rd brake light dropped out of nowhere while running errands yesterday). And to my understanding, these are supposed to be replace free of charge?
 
Whether you have Ford or non-Ford warranty you have to check what your warranty covers.    TSB is independent of warranty coverage, it is simply a service bulletin advising techs what to do in the event of that particular issue occurring.  Sometimes Ford does extend warranty on parts/repairs in a Customer Satisfaction Program, like brake booster, APIM, etc.  But this is rare.
 
Ahhhh I see. So the TSB is more of a how to/guide on some symptoms and fixes. I was more under the impression that it was kind of like a recall.

TSB 10-2-6  AFTERMARKET POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE CALIBRATION, NON-FACTORY MODIFICATION OR AFTERMARKET COMPONENTS

FORD:
2010 Taurus, Flex

LINCOLN:
2010 MKS, MKT

ISSUE
Some 2010 Taurus, Flex, MKS and MKT vehicles equipped with an EcoBoost engine may have unauthorized aftermarket modifications to the powertrain hardware and/or calibration which may result in exceeding component design limits. Such modifications could cause damage to the powertrain and/or void the factory powertrain warranty.

ACTION
Review Service Procedure

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Unauthorized calibration modifications may or may not be detectable using standard tools (Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS), Portable Diagnostic Software (PDS), NGS+ VCM). Changes can be made to the calibration and flashed to the PCM through the OBD port. Physical modifications to the hardware may or may not be present. If aftermarket power/torque-increasing modifications are suspected, care should be taken to record and store the following items: Permanent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), Pending DTCs, Freeze Frame Data, Mode 6 and Mode 9 data. The data should be printed and attached to the repair order for later reference.

The DTCs, freeze frame data, Mode 6 and 9 data can be obtained by using the IDS, PDS or NGS+VCM under tool box selection. The Powertrain tab will provide the OBD Test Modes tab and Mode 6 and 9 data selection after the vehicle has been identified.

Attempting to increase the engine output via recalibrating the PCM may result in poor drivability, DTCs, or component failures. A partial list of calibration induced component failures is given below:
^ Piston damage.

^ Spark over-advanced (knock-induced damage).

^ Insufficient enrichment.

Excessive Cylinder Pressure:
^ Turbocharger damage.

Over-Speed:
^ Catalyst damage.

Over-Temperature/Melting:
^ Transmission, PTU, Torque converter damage.

Hardware Modifications:

The following list contains items that are frequently modified in an effort to increase the engines torque/power output. Modifying these items may, or may not improve the performance, but can lead to drivability issues, DTCs and possibly component failures:
^ Air induction system (air box, low pressure and high pressure air ducts).

The system may be particularly susceptible to flexible air ducts between the air filter and the compressors. Restrictions on either side of the compressor can result in over-speeding the turbo (Figures 5-6).
^ Wastegate actuator pre-tension.

The full load output of some turbocharged engines will increase if the wastegate spring pre-tension is increased. This is not the case with the EcoBoost engine. Adjusting the wastegate pre-tension out of the specified range can result in DTCs. A tamper evident paint dot has been applied to the wastegate actuator adjustment mechanism to make modifications more apparent.
^ Throttle inlet and intake manifold pressure sensors.

These sensors and the associated wiring should be inspected to verify they have not been modified.
^ Additional fuel injection devices.

The high pressure fuel system used for the EcoBoost engine will not support additional fuel flow beyond what the factory calibration requests. Inspect the engine for an additional aftermarket injector(s) located somewhere in the induction system to provided increased fuel flow.
^ PCV system modifications.

If the PCV system is modified (vented to atmosphere being the most common modification) it can result in a condition where oil gets past the turbine seal even on an undamaged, fully functional turbocharger. Oil in the exhaust system may not be sufficient evidence to identify a failed turbo if the PCV system has been compromised.
^ Compressor bypass modifications (a.k.a. blow-off valve, or anti-surge valve).

It is common to modify these components so they make more noise. If the aftermarket devices fail to seal properly when closed, elevated turbo speeds and compressor outlet temperatures will occur.
^ Exhaust air path/system.

Removal of catalysts or mufflers/resonators to reduce exhaust backpressure may result in over-speeding the turbo(s).

SSM 44856 - Various 2011-2015 Vehicles - Cruise Control Speed Setting Display May Not MatchSpeedometer

Some 2013-2015 Fusion, Taurus, 2011-2015 Explorer, 2013-2014 Edge, Flex, 2013-2015 Lincoln MKS, MKX and 2013-2014 Lincoln MKT, vehicles may exhibit a cruise control speed that does not match the speedometer speed. The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) provides a tolerance which allows the speedometer gauge to display between 3% lower and 7% higher than the actual vehicle speed. This means that with an actual vehicle speed of 96 kmh (60 mph), the speedometer may indicate between93 kmh (58 mph) and 103 kmh (64 mph), which is normal. Refer to Workshop Manual(WSM), Section 413-01 Description and Operation, Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). If you are outside of this tolerance range, refer to the WSM for normal diagnosis.
 
SSM 47119 – 2011-2018 Explorer/Police Interceptor Utility/Police Interceptor Sedan Taurus/Flex/MKT and 2011-2016 MKS – 3.5L EcoBoost – Engine Assembly Replacement

During 3.5L EcoBoost engine assembly replacement, inspect the color of the positive crank ventilation (PCV) camshaft cover adaptor located next to the high pressure fuel pump on the original engine and compare to the service replacement engine.

The adaptor color of the service replacement engine must match the original engine.

If the adaptor on the original engine is green, install a green adaptor (HL2E-6762-AA) on the service replacement engine.

If the adapter is removed from the camshaft cover, damage will occur to the adapter locking mechanism.

Make sure detached pieces of the locking mechanism do not fall into the open port during removal.
