    25SC4 Kuga - Do not charge high voltage battery to levels above 80%

    Defect

    Ford constantly monitors production processes and vehicles in service. While monitoring vehicles in operation we have become aware of a number of Kuga PHEV vehicles on which the high voltage battery may have some cells that could potentially develop an internal short circuit. In the event of a high voltage battery cell internal short circuit the customer will experience a Stop Safely Now message and warning icon in the instrument cluster. The customer may also experience a loss of motive power increasing the risk of an accident. The customer will continue to have 12-volt (V) accessories steering and braking control. The customer may also experience battery thermal venting potentially resulting in a vehicle fire increasing the risk of injury. Although customers may recall our previous communication about a similar issue under Field Service Action (FSA) 24S79 all customers will need to follow these new instructions regardless of whether that prior action was completed on their vehicles.

    Remedy

    Ford engineers are working on the development of a remedy for this issue. While Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving until a remedy becomes available to mitigate the risk Ford will ask all affected customers to ONLY use the default Auto EV mode and avoid deep mud and snow modes until further notice. Ford will also send customers a letter instructing them not to charge their High-Voltage Battery above 80%. To make it easier for customers to limit the charge Ford will include with this letter a leaflet containing clear instructions on how to set the limit using the in-vehicle screen or via the Ford App. Once a remedy is available Ford will send customers a follow up letter instructing them to contact their dealer to schedule an appointment in order for the fix to be deployed on their vehicle.
