REAR SUSPENSION BOLTS MAY FAIL
Vehicles may have rear axle mounting bolts that do not meet the required specification. It is possible that the head of the bolt may shear and result in reduced retention of the rear axle.
Fit replacement bolts of the correct specification.

Fit replacement bolts of the correct specification.
FUMES MAY ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
Blanking plug on the exhaust may not retain the correct tightness. In rare cases it is possible that the plug may work out completely leaving an open hole in the exhaust system. The hot gases may be hot enough to melt the plastic of the engine cooling fan moulding. Although no cases have been reported there is a risk of fire in the engine compartment.
Replace the brass plug with a steel plug of a new design.
RISK OF FIRE
It is possible that where these vehicles are operating in high road salt conditions the fuel tank straps could fracture due to corrosion. This could lead to the detachment of the fuel tank resulting in the fuel tank contacting the road surface causing a fuel leak which could cause a risk of a vehicle fire.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the fuel tank straps with improved salt corrosion protection straps.
RISK OF FIRE
Due to high road salt usage in winter the engine cooling fan module may suffer from corrosion and may overheat and ignite.
Recall affected vehicles to modify wiring loom and to fit water shield to module.

HEADLIGHTS AND INDICATORS MAY MALFUNTION
Vehicles affected could demonstrate symptoms such as headlamps and indicators flashing unintentionally and/or headlamps switching off. The concern is due to software errors.
The vehicles that are likely to be affected are to be recalled to have modified software applied to the Body Control Module and Power Train Control Module.

SECOND ROW SEAT RECLINER LOCKING MECHANISM
Investigations have identified an issue with the second row seating recliner locking mechanism. It is possible that the seat latch mechanism can be damaged if the seat back is repeatedly slammed into the folded position. If significant damage has occurred there is a possibility that the seat can be forced to a reclined position without lifting the release lever.
The dealer will perform a check of the seat function and fit an additional bracket that will prevent damage occurring.
PANORAMIC ROOF PANEL MAY DETACH
It has been identified that a small number of vehicles built with a panoramic glass roof may not have been bonded correctly. This could ultimately result in detachment of the panoramic glass roof.
Recall all affected vehicles and check the adhesion of the roof. If found to be defective the roof will be removed and re-bonded.

RISK OF FIRE
Due to high road salt usage in winter the engine cooling fan module may suffer from corrosion and may overheat and ignite.
Recall affected vehicles to modify wiring loom and to fit water shield to module.
GEARBOX MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY
The bracket that secures the automatic transmission shift cable to the transmission casing may crack and break. This is as a result of unnecessary welding. Should the bracket fail then gear selection witl be extremely difficult or in extreme cases impossible.
Recall all affected vehicles and check the bracket. If the bracket has been welded then replacement of the bracket is required.
RISK OF FIRE
Due to high road salt usage in winter the engine cooling fan module may suffer from corrosion and may overheat and ignite.
Recall affected vehicles to modify wiring loom and to fit water shield to module.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
It has been identified that a batch of vehicles converted by SVP have been fitted with a split charging system the relays of which may not be to specification and could subsequently fail. This can result in wiring loom damage and the possibility of a fire.
Whereas the converter has approached 89 customers and supplied revised parts. It is proposed that Ford will contact the owners of the outstanding vehicles to emphasise the importance of end users contacting the convertor thus ensuring that the remaining vehicles are reworked.

SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH MAY OVERHEAT AND CATCH FIRE
It has been identified that corrosion within the speed control deactivation switch cavity can create a conductive path between the uninterrupted battery power and ground. This could cause the switch to overheat smoke or burn either with the engine running or when it is switched off.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected for corrosion of the specified area and if required will install a revised speed control deactivation switch. If no corrosion is present dealers will install a universal fused jumper harness.

STEERING HUB MAY FRACTURE AND DETACH
The steering wheel may detach from the steering column due to a defect in the centre hub casting.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect the steering wheel centre hub casting and where necessary fit a new steering wheel.
RISK OF FIRE
Due to high road salt usage in winter the engine cooling fan module may suffer from corrosion and may overheat and ignite.
Recall affected vehicles to modify wiring loom and to fit water shield to module.
HARD BRAKE PEDAL MAY OCCUR DURING ENGINE WARM UP
During engine warm up it is possible that the non return valve within the vacuum pump may stick. It is possible that if sufficient brake applications are made before the valve releases the vacuum stored within the brake booster will be used up and a hard brake pedal and longer stopping distances may result.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a revised design of non return valve to the brake vacuum pump.
