Powerboost hybrid - showing fuel door open error message

[Ford Motor Company]

Thank you very much.


Thank you very much. Your reply made me think it was worth me trying again directly with my dealership. They’ve been very kind and helpful in the past, and I didn’t want to go above their head and have negative repercussions for them. I called them again, and they told me to come by any time to have my error code checked. I swung by today and they are taking my truck back to replace the part as I type this. They were great. I think the person I spoke with last time just misunderstood.

Thank you!

So glad we could help!

My truck is only missing the little plastic peg and rubber boot.

Does anyone know the part number to just order that part?

If I order ML3Z8327936C, does it come with the plastic peg and rubber boot on the fuel door?

It is the whole assembly, including the peg and boot.

Sorry to bring this thread back up: I currently have a 2021 F150 Hybrid.
I started have this issue a couple of days ago after filling up. Looks like I'm missing the plastic peg in the middle of the rubber housing.
I've scheduled an appointment with the service department.
Question does this fall under a warranty repair?
If not I'll order the part and fix it myself

Thanks

The first week I had my truck the plastic peice and peg fell off, I barely touched it with the gas nozzle it flew off, such a crap design.

Yes it will be warranty repair, don't let them update your software it will brick your truck. Took my truck to fix the gas tank cover and get blue cruise update now the truck is bricked.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Does anyone happen to know where (if) the STL for this might be shared? : )

Ordered one last Friday. I’ll send install images when it gets here.

Thanks, would you mind measuring the dimensions of the factory part, please?
I have the base, not the pin that broke off and disappeared.
These bird beaks indicate the dimensions I think I need to print something (or hand cut a piece of dowel, maybe.)
Thanks,

I hope you are copying the OEM part like you said and not blatantly copying my part and plan to reproduce/offer it as your own solution, that's not acceptable by any means.

The markings on the OEM pin indicate that the plastic they used is very strong, perhaps the strongest you can utilize in this application. There is nothing in the 3D printing market from a materials standpoint (even fiber reinforced compared to the injection molded material) that can be printed stronger than the OEM part. It will just fail again but even sooner. Just my two cents as I've beat down this path already while developing the aluminum anodized pin I offer now. The OEM pin has so many design flaws outside of being plastic as well.

I won’t be sending out anything on your product other than how it looks installed, for sure. Should be here today or tomorrow.

I have no intention of copying your product. If anything, I'll probably be a customer if Ford doesn't just replace the part under warranty. I'd rather pay you $50 than reward them for their flawed part by buying the whole assembly; only to have it fail again.
My interest is as a diy. I'll print a few attempts, maybe fashion one out of aluminum rod, trial and error till it latches satisfactorily. See what happens.

I just installed mine yesterday and it was a very simple job. The instructions were excellent, just like your back up alarm delete kit. I’m very happy with your products.
