What This Recall Means

Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES

What Happened
The battery cables in your vehicle are the electrical highways that power your engine. In certain models, these cables might be loose or damaged, which could cause the insulation to wear down.
Risk if Unfixed
If the insulation is damaged, your cables could short circuit, causing heat damage, a flickering 'check engine' light, trouble starting your car, or even a fire.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will inspect and fix the battery cables by rerouting them, tightening the terminal ends, and replacing any damaged cables – all for free. If you haven't received the repair notice, call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 to schedule the work.

Affected Vehicles
