    122,125 units affected

    Issue: On certain vehicles, there could be a problem with the connections inside the rearview camera. As a result, the rearview camera image may not display correctly or at all when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Note: For certain models, this recall also affects incomplete vehicles. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rearview camera.

  • Seats And Restraints#2024605

    900 units affected

  • Visual System#2022070

    22,989 units affected

    Issue: On certain vehicles, opening and closing the trunk lid could damage the wiring for the rearview camera. If this happens, the rearview camera image may not display properly when you shift to reverse. Also, there could be a problem with the connections inside the rearview camera. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the rearview camera and/or inspect and repair the decklid wiring.

  • Brakes#2020647

    99 units affected

    This equipment recall is for replacement parts that were sold or installed by Ford dealerships between October 2019 and August 2020. This recall is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Issue: On certain cars, the brake pedal and bracket assembly could fracture if rapid and forceful pressure is applied to the brake pedal, as typically seen during track and competition driving. If this happens, there could be a loss of braking. Note: This equipment recall only affects the following brake pedal and bracket assembly part numbers: FR3Z-2455-AA FR3Z-2455-AB Safety Risk: A loss of brakes can create the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify its dealers of this recall. While dealers will attempt to contact people who may have purchased a part affected by this recall, if you have had the brake pedal and bracket assembly replaced on your car, you should contact the dealer that sold or installed it to find out if it is affected by this recall. Any part that is affected by this recall will be replaced, free of charge.

  • Lights And Instruments#2020485

    833 units affected

    Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem may cause the daytime running lamps (DRLs) to not turn on. Note: This recall only affects Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 models. Safety Risk: Daytime running lights that do not work could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the body control module (BCM) software.

  • Airbag#2017416

    278 units affected

    On certain vehicles, the passenger's frontal airbag inflator could be over pressurized during airbag deployment due to a potential airflow impairment in the inflator module, which may cause the inflator to rupture. An inflator rupture during a crash (where deployment is warranted), could prevent proper deployment of the passenger frontal airbag and could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag module.

  • Structure#2017137

    266 units affected

    On certain vehicles, the driver's side interior door handle may have been built with a misoriented return spring, which could increase the potential for the spring to become unseated. If the return spring were to unseat, the driver door may unlatch if subjected to a significant load during a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to the driver seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect the driver’s side interior door handle for a missing or incorrectly oriented return spring and repair as necessary.

  • Engine#2016527

    941 units affected

    On certain vehicles equipped with 5.2 litre V8 engines, the engine oil cooler tube assembly may have insufficient crimps. This could lead to a hose separating, which would cause an oil leak. The sudden loss of engine oil could result in an engine failure causing a loss of motive power, and an oil leak, in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Both of these conditions could increase the risk of injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine oil cooler tube assembly.
