Known Recall Investigations
  • Pedestrian alert sounds investigation # DP22005

    Nhtsa received a petition on or about july 18, 2022, requesting that federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the united states. The petition can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11486072. Fmvss 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after march 1, 2021.On january 27, 2023, nhtsa opened defect petition (dp) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On june 24, 2023 and as supplemented on june 25, 2023, the petitioner notified nhtsa he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioners withdrawal, dp22-005 is closed. Closure of this dp does not represent a determination by nhtsa regarding the subject matter of the petition.

  • Door latch failures investigation # RQ19005

    In december 2019, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened this investigation based on 235 vehicle owner questionnaires (voqs) alleging doors failed to latch when closed, and/or inadvertently opened while driving, on model year (my) 2012-2014 ford fiesta, and 2013-2014 fusion and lincoln mkz. Some voqs reported the failure occurred after the latch had been remedied under a prior recall which involved fracture of the latch pawl spring tab due to thermally induced cyclic fatigue. Other voqs alleged a similar failure in vehicles not previously recalled. A latch with a fractured pawl spring tab typically results in a “door will not close” condition, however in certain somewhat rare circumstances, may result in the door coming open while driving. In response to odi’s investigation, ford has announced three field actions, as discussed below.On march 23, 2020, ford submitted safety recall 20v-177 (ford 20s15), a regional recall campaign to address door latch failures in vehicles not previously recalled under safety recalls 15v-246, 16v-643 and 17v-210. The recall affects vehicles currently or ever registered in certain high ambient temperature states (see 20v-177 for affected states). As a remedy, ford will replace all four door latches free of charge.On august 24, 2020, ford issued a non-safety regional field action (ford 20r01) to address door latch failures on the same model/my vehicles not covered under 20v-177 (i.E., not currently/ever registered in affected states). According to ford, spring tab failure rates for vehicles covered by this action are about half that of the 20v-177 vehicles. Under this action, dealers will replace all door latches, free of charge, if either; a) the vehicle exhibits a related latch concern, or b) if the vehicle owner expresses a concern about the latches in their vehicles. Details can be found under nhtsa tsb no. 10190990, a copy of which is available in this investigative file available at nhtsa.Gov.On june 8, 2020, ford submitted safety recall 20v-331 (ford 20s30) addressing vehicles previously remedied under nhtsa recalls 15v-246, 16v-643 and 17v-210, where the repair may not have been properly completed, specifically not all of the door latches were replaced, or replaced correctly. This recall involves an inspection of the latches, with the option for a consumer self-inspection; owners could view the date codes on their latches (and confirm child safety locks are present on the rear doors) and then submit the information to ford’s mobile app or website. A dealership inspection option was also available. Any vehicle found to have unreplaced defective latches requires the replacement of all door latches as directed by ford.Regarding the 4,494 reports cited above, 1,485 involve scope-related failures (with 13% alleging door opening), and the remaining 3,009 reports involving remedy concerns (with 18% alleging door opening - note odi was unable to verify the allegations of door opening). The three odi injuries were all relatively minor. Ford’s reported injury incidences include one (unconfirmed) report of an ejection, three minor injuries with the others involving undisclosed injuries. Ford’s crashes involved two (unconfirmed) crashes alleging the incident door contacted another vehicle and three involving doors striking other property.The recalled vehicles include my 2011-2015 ford fiesta, 2013-2016 ford fusion and lincoln mkz, 2015 ford mustang and lincoln mkc, 2013-2015 ford escape and ford c-max, 2012-2015 ford focus and 2014-2016 ford transit connect.Fords actions address odis concerns at this time. Odi will take further action if warranted by new information. The reference (odi) numbers for the 498 voqs cited above are available on the downloadable version of this resume available at nhtsa.Gov.

The car was parked and turned off, i came out to the car and found the electrical charging cord had caught on fire at the base of the handle that inserts into the car. The area melted/disintegrated. It was covered in soot. The charger had been plugged into the car for about 1 hour. Fortunately my car or home did not catch on fire. This charger was a replacement from the recall in 2018.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford c-max hybrid. The contact stated while driving 5 mph, the rear passenger's side door unexpectedly opened. The contact stated that the door ajar warning light was illuminated. The contact related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 16v643000 (latches/locks/linkages). Riverside ford (2089 riverside dr, macon, ga 31204, (478) 464-2900) was contacted and confirmed that the vin was included in the recall. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The radio would not shut off or change stations and the volume control didn't work. The dash screen said the radio was off. Could not change audio inputs from fm station it was tuned to. The radio stayed on when the car was shut off even when the doors were opened. I googled the problem and found it is a known issue that can drain the battery completely. The suggested fix was to pull the radio circuit fuse from the main fuse panel under the dash, (#79), which i did. That reset the audio system and has resolved the problem for now at least. The last time i had weird audio problems was when the 12v battery started to need replacing. I thought it was due to it being 4.5 yrs old but now am wondering if it was hastened by battery drain from audio system when vehicle was parked. This problem could strand drivers and leave the vehicle inoperable due to dead 12v battery (which is in a very hard to reach compartment in the back hatch). I've also noticed that the back hatch unlatching switch doesn't always work at this time, which may or may not be related (same issues happened last time the 12v battery died 4 yrs ago). Could this be related to some other electrical short in the locking system wiring perhaps? Ford needs to solve this and issue a recall to remedy since the problem sounds pretty common.

Gas line leak under car leading from tank to engine. Requires removal of exhaust system and tank to replace new line. Could have caused fire w/ fuel leaking on to exhaust system (have had two previous fires in different vehicles caused by fuel leaking onto hot exhaust system). No apparent physical cause for leak - does not seem to be component one would expect to leak or need repair regardless of age or mileage. Potential to cause serious personal and physical damage if i had not smelled and noticed leak. Seems to me that manufacturer or supplier of apparent defective line would be responsible for replacement repair. Leak could result in unanticipated catastrophic event. Vehicle had been recently driven and parked when gas smell was notced and moved enough to see fuel puddle on driveway.

Turned the car on in a parking lot and saw the check engine light was on. Had totally lost power steering and acceleration, and braking was extremely difficult. Rolled down the parking lot and was able to stop the car with the parking brake and turn it off. Turned it back on and the power steering and brakes and accelerator were back. Drove the car home and tried turning it on and off a few more times. Power steering seems to be completely gone. Check engine light is on.

Power steering fails without warning making it more difficult to steer than manual steering. Turning car off resets electronic control module but that is no guarantee that the power steering won't fail again while on the highway.
