HVAC air blend door actuator

[jaybee]

Hoping someone with good sources can tell me if there's a service bulletin or recall on air blend door actuators for the 2014 Ford Fiesta. It doesn't look like something I can't do, but tearing things apart without a garage is going to be real iffy. Just to confirm, this noise is directly behind the center vent/radio area of the dash and sounds EXACTLY like this and other online videos of the issue.

Thats a common problem with the 97-03 Grand Prixs too. Cracked plastic gears   The Ford chime and actuator noise are both more annoying though. Wish I had an easy answer for you. I find that taking one front seat out if I have to do behind the dash work in poor weather is worth it, because I just ain't that dedicated or flexible any more. Don't hurt yerself!
