Recalls
2 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Transmission & drivetrain Vehicle recall #14V736000 · 2014 · 56,479 vehicles
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the key May be able to be removed even while the transmission is not in park. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 114, "theft protection and rollaway prevention."
Why it matters: If the key can be removed despite that the transmission is not in park, a driver May think the vehicle is safety parked, when it is not, increasing the risk of a vehicle rollaway that could cause the vehicle to strike and injure the driver, other vehicle occupants, or bystanders.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2014.
Equipment Vehicle recall #18V592000 · 2018 · 49,197 vehicles
What's wrong: Cords with part numbers fm58-10b706-aa, fm58-10b706-ab, fm58-10b706-ac, fm58-10b706-ad, fm58-10b706-ae and fm58-10b706-af were manufactured without thermistors, and during vehicle charging, increased resistance in the house's outlet or wiring can cause the cord to overheat and melt.
Why it matters: An overheated cord can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the current cord with a new 120v convenience cord with a thermistor, free of charge. The recall began January 18, 2019.
