Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety compliance recall and two safety recalls in North America. The company is issuing a safety compliance recall for select 2018-20 Ford F-150 vehicles with LED headlamps. This may reduce the visibility of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. The company is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition. This action affects 166,196 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories and 50,989 in Canada.
Affected vehicles were built at Dearborn Truck Plant, January 5, 2017, to October 10, 2019, and Kansas City Assembly Plant, Jan. 25, 2017, to October 10, 2019.
Dealers will update the body control module software configuration. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20C03.
The automotive major is issuing a safety recall for select 2015-16 Ford F-150 vehicles equipped with engine heater elements and 3.5-litre GTDI engines. The risk to safety exists only while the vehicle is parked and the block heater cable is plugged into an electrical outlet. A resistive short in the engine-block heater splice connector can increase the risk of overheated or melted wiring and fire. Customers are advised to not use the engine block heater cable until their vehicle is inspected.
Ford is not aware of any reports of fire, accident or injury related to this condition. This action affects 13,854 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories and 19,679 in Canada. Affected vehicles were built at Dearborn Truck Plant July 31, 2014, to September 27, 2016, and Kansas City Assembly Plant, February 10, 2015, to October 15, 2016.
