05- Visual System#2025360
16,575 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing. 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 update the SYNC software.
- Visual System#2022485
16,451 units affected
Issue: Over time, the coating on the lens for the rearview camera could degrade. If this happens, the rearview camera image may appear foggy or cloudy. Note: This recall only affected vehicles equipped with 360-degree camera systems. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that does not display correctly 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 dealership to replace the rearview camera.
- Structure#2019063
1,276 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the door latches may not fully latch when a door is closed. If a door is not properly latched, it could open while the vehicle is moving. Safety Risk: A door that opens while the vehicle is moving could create an increased risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the latch assemblies replaced on all four doors.
- Airbag#2017102
4,336 units affected
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. Certain driver frontal airbag modules may have been assembled incorrectly. In the event of a crash warranting deployment of the driver's frontal airbag, the airbag may not completely fill, or the airbag cushion may detach from the airbag module, which would not protect the driver as expected, and could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver's frontal airbag.
- Lights And Instruments#2016499
49 units affected
Certain vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The headlamps may have been built with an incorrect lens, which fails to meet the replaceable light source marking requirements of the standard. The incorrect lens is also missing optics required to meet the turn signal light output requirements of the standard. Missing lens optics can reduce turn signal visibility to other drivers and pedestrians, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace headlamps as necessary.
