My dealer pointed this out when I had my MKS in today, but like everyone else, told me probably be good long time before parts would be available.  How hard would it be to check the part in '13 MKS?

Is it the Pump or the Module that is overheating? Or is it the Module causing the pump to Overheat?

This module is in the trunk of the Taurus on the hump going from the cabin area to the trunk right behind the back seat. It's under the carpet
I'm assuming it would be in a similar area in the mks. 
Easy enough to find it a check the part number.

Glock, in my car, that hump area is actually the antennna.  The fuel module is located on the passenger side vertical slab right behind the back seat. (At least in my car)

I guess out of curiosity will be taking mine apart to see if its affected or not based from the recall above and will try to post up some pics on the process.  Z

Good luck, while its super easy to get to, i could barely read any info on mine.

I Definitely agree with Slurpie that it was an easy process but could NOT read the part number on the module and here is a very easy How To )lower the rear passenger seat down. 2)carefully remove the plastic screw(rivet)that holds down the side cover with a small flat head screw driver which took me literally a few minutes to do,easy peasy.  Z

Awesome!

Looks easy...if you have folding rear seats   Guessing the MKS will require climbing into the trunk.

It sounds like your still feeling the repercussions of the DP install but no worries its a piece of cake compared to that. LOL .Z

LOL

Great one Z!!!  Totally true!

Well, I'm at a loss.  Mine was a pain in the rear because you have to lay in the trunk and remove/peel back the side panel that runs the length of the trunk to access.  Once I accessed the module, I had to unbolt it in order to see it at all since it's between the seat back and frame of the trunk.

Once unbolted and out in plain sight, it does not have any numbers on it.  I even took pictures of each side and then blew them up on my computer.  Nothing.  At this point, I'm clueless.

no part number whatsoever definitely means to me "the supplier part number suffix, is not 5f"

Oh and as of today, bare with me here, this changed from just a bulletin to they will be going through with the repairs. They took the backseat out right there on the spot when i asked them about it and they double checked.

 

[SHOdded]

How exactly did they check?  Don't they just have VIN codes to go by?

 

[L1gerZero]

Honestly I wouldn't be able to tell you too much. They had a computer in front of my car (i was under it inspecting their work) and he when he went to bring up my original invoice it said bulletin, but he said he had seen something on some boards yesterday so he checked again and it changed. I don't have that paperwork for the recall check, they are mailing me the right stuff since mine was wrong. When i receive it i can post a picture here for their exact words.

I think he referenced the bulletin found on this Board posted by me yesterday, HA . Z

Sounds like a smart tech to learn from you

I am late to the party, but the parts are not available for most. I am on on hold until further notice

This am after driving for roughly 15 min to get some coffee came home to grab my 10mm socket,Ratchet to inspect the module a bit further noticed it was a bit warm to the touch on a 60 degree morning with very limited driving on a full tank of gas......just makes you wonder the effect's if the conditions were greater.....wonder if installing some heat resistant tape on the metal might help to alleviate these conditions a tit.
