Issue:
On certain vehicles, the mounting flange between the external reservoirs and the rear shock absorbers may corrode and fail. If this happens, the external reservoir(s) could detach from the vehicle.
Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with Bilstein shock absorbers.
Safety Risk:
An external reservoir that detaches from the vehicle could create a hazard for other road users and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the nuts for the ball joints that connect the front upper control arms to the steering knuckles may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the upper control arm could separate from the knuckle. If this happens, there could be a loss of steering control.
Safety Risk:
A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect for loose and/or missing nut(s). If any loose or missing nuts are found, the dealer will replace the ball joint(s) and steering knuckle(s).
