Known Recall Investigations

  • Windshield trim molding item detachment investigation # PE23001

    On january 27, 2023, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe23-001 to investigate allegations of a-pillar trim panel detachment on model year (my) 2011-2019 ford explorer vehicles. At the time of opening, the office had received 164 vehicle owner questionnaires (voqs) reporting this failure. Odi has received 671 voqs regarding this failure, including 1 alleged crash and 2 alleged injuries. Some consumers have reported that the failure occurred while they were driving at highway speeds, with the detached trim panel entering the path of travel of the vehicle behind them, requiring the driver of the following vehicle to take evasive action. It is noteworthy that motorists who experience this type of road hazard are less likely to accurately identify the subject vehicle the item detached from and report the event to the nhtsa. In its april 17, 2023 response to odi’s information request, ford provided 175 consumer complaints (including field reports) and 14,162 warranty claims related to a-pillar trim panel detachment. Ford relayed that the subject vehicles utilize a plastic a-pillar bracket, which is bolted to the vehicle structure during assembly. The a-pillar trim panel is attached to the bracket utilizing 7 plastic clips. Contributory factors which have been identified by ford as leading to the subject defect include incomplete installation at the assembly plant, inadequate part stack up, damage to fasteners during installation, and failure to follow proper repair procedure during windshield replacements or other services. On january 19, 2024, ford filed safety recall 24v-031 for my 2011-2019 ford explorer vehicles to address the subject defect. In the part 573 safety recall report, ford identified that a detached a-pillar trim panel can create a road hazard for other road users, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall remedy includes an inspection of the existing a-pillar trim panel and, if necessary, the replacement of the component. The remedy a-pillar trim panels will be installed with an additional adhesive for robustness and utilize an inspection procedure to ensure full engagement of all the retention clips during installation. In view of the recall action being taken by ford, odi is closing this preliminary evaluation. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the reports cited in the closing resume odi report identification number document, go to nhtsa.Gov.

  • Windshield trim panel detachment investigation # PE23001

    The office of defects investigation (odi) has received 164 complaints on model year 2011-2019 ford explorer vehicles alleging a windshield trim panel on the vehicle detached while driving at highway speeds. Some of the complaints reported that the driver of the vehicle following behind the subject ford vehicle allegedly was startled when the trim piece hit the windshield and momentarily lost control of the vehicle.

  • Ford explorer exhaust odor investigation # EA17002

    Odi opened preliminary evaluation (pe) 16-008 in july of 2016 after receiving 154 vehicle owner questionnaire (voq) reports reporting exhaust odors in the vehicle occupant compartment of model year (my) 2011 to 2015 ford explorers, which included one low speed crash event without injury.During the course of the pe, odi identified additional voq reports concerning the exhaust odor issue, totaling 791 as of this writing.The complaints cover my 2011 to 2017 explorers.Eleven of the reports involve police interceptor vehicles, as do two other non-voq incidents odi identified during pe16-008.Overall, odi has identified three crash events and 25 injury incidents citing a total of 41 injuries.The alleged injuries, as affirmatively indicated on the voq reports, range from unspecified to loss of consciousness, with the majority indicating nausea, headaches, or light headedness.One police incident alleged a crash with related injuries, and a second police incident reported a physiological injury allegedly from carbon monoxide (co) exposure.Another reported police incident resulted in a rollover crash event with injuries.The ford reports cited above were provided in the company?S august 24, 2016 response to an odi information request letter sent during pe16-008.Therein, odi identified 2400 reports (485 owner complaints, 1254 warranty claims, 606 dealer field reports, 55 legal claims), involving 2,051 unique vehicles, that appear to relate to the exhaust odor issue, and include 123 reports that are duplicative of the voq reports.A number of the ford reports also discussed health effects similar to the voqs, specifically nausea and headaches.During the pe, working in conjunction with nhtsas vehicle test and research center (vrtc) in east liberty, ohio, odi has tested multiple vehicles, including complaint vehicles.Additionally, odi has conducted field inspections of complaint vehicles and crashes involving police units that occurred while the officers were on-duty.When possible, data has been collected to quantify carbon monoxide (co) levels in the examined vehicles.During this engineering analysis (ea), the vrtc testing efforts and field inspections will continue.To date, no substantive data or actual evidence (such as a carboxyhemoglobin measurement) has been obtained supporting a claim that any of the alleged injury or crash allegations were the result of carbon monoxide poisoning, the alleged hazard.Odi has obtained preliminary testing that suggests, however, that co levels may be elevated in certain driving scenarios, although the significance and effect of those levels remains under evaluation as part of the ea.Ford has issued multiple tsbs related to the exhaust odor issue, and in some cases revised those documents multiple times to provide dealership technicians with procedures to address complaints raised by consumers and police fleets.Concerns over the effectiveness of the procedures have been raised by vehicle owners in some cases.During the ea, odi will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of the tsbs.Through cooperation with police agencies, odi recently learned that the police interceptor version of the ford explorer is experiencing exhaust manifold cracks, which appear to present a low level of detectability, and may explain the exhaust odor.During the ea, the root cause, frequency, and safety consequence of these manifold cracks will be evaluated, as will the extent to which non-police ford explorers are experiencing cracked exhaust manifolds.

  • Exhaust odor in passenger cab investigation # EA17002

    During the ea17-002 investigation, the agency reviewed and analyzed reports of exhaust odors in the passenger cabins of model year 2011 to 2017 ford explorers. This investigation required an approach that incorporated knowledge and expertise from the automotive, medical, environmental health, and occupational safety fields. The agency conducted an in-depth investigation that encompassed the review of over 6,500 consumer complaints, conducting field inspections, and testing the relevant vehicles, both independently and in coordination with ford and other entities. During the investigation, the evolution of ford service bulletins intended to reduce the level of exhaust odors and carbon monoxide (co) entering the occupant compartment was examined and independent tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the final field service actions (fsa) for both consumer and police vehicles were conducted. As part of the investigation, the agency also examined the effects of cracked exhaust mani-cats on the measured co levels in the vehicles and tested the fsa repairs to ensure they did not adversely impact occupant compartment co levels due to cracked mani-cats.The investigation identified upfitting issues for police interceptor vehicles. Upfitting (sirens, lights, cages, auxiliary power, etc.) is typically performed by governmental fleet operations, independent repair facilities, or local ford dealers after the sale of the new vehicle. Sealing issues caused by upfitting were responsible for the highest measured carbon monoxide levels in tested vehicles. The police fsa instructs how to inspect the quality of the vehicle upfits and how to properly seal any leaks caused by these upfits, at no cost to the police agency. Similarly, the highest co levels measured in consumer vehicles were usually traced to sealing issues caused by rear crash damage where the repairs did not ensure sealing integrity. The most recent ford fsa procedure for both the police (17b25) and consumer vehicles (17n03) includes an hvac reprogramming operation. Tests by ford and nhtsa have demonstrated a substantial reduction of co levels due solely to the hvac reprogramming. Other fsa repairs also demonstrated measurable contributions to co level reductions during controlled tests.Throughout the investigation, vehicles accurately measured with higher levels of carbon monoxide were almost always affected by upfitter alterations, damage, or other causes compromising rear passenger cabin seals.Nhtsa received thousands of reports alleging odors which triggered a variety of physiological responses, predominately nausea, headaches, and lightheadedness. Nhtsa focused the investigation on accurately measuring vehicle co levels, and accurately measuring carboxyhemoglobin (cohb) levels from properly administered blood tests. Using rigorous test methods to produce exhaust gas intrusion in vehicles with a properly performed fsa, occupant compartment co levels remained below current environmental limits for co in any environment (epa ambient air quality standards). Furthermore, even without fsa repairs, no vehicles unaffected by upfitter issues or prior crash damage were identified with co levels that exceed accepted occupational co exposure levels. This investigation finds that the 2011-2017 ford explorer vehicles when accurately measured produce occupant compartment co levels which fall below current accepted health standards, and could not identify cohb levels for vehicle drivers or other occupants, which exceeded thresholds for acute physiological effects. Therefore, the agency has not identified a defect that represents an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.This inve

Driving on express way going 70 mph and vehicle dash started lighting up and beeping with a bunch of different things and lost power steering. It said “power steering fault” was in construction and it was extremely scary. Thankfully there was a dealership on the exit and they said it was the power steering rack.

I was driving down the highway into a turn and my power steering failed causing the suv to want to recall into a straight pattern almost causing me to crash my truck into a barrier wall with my child inside. With the sudden ability to fight the wheel back into a turning position i was able to narrowly avoid crashing with my child. Numerous indicators displayed (steering assist fault, service advance track, hill start assist not available). I immediately took it to a ford dealer , where they advised me that the power steering rack has electronically failed.

My airbags light comes on and stays on someone's and i looked it up in my owners manual and it says to get it checked immediately due to a malfunction with the [xxx] bags. My problem is when i called them the light had went back out. Everytime it comes on and stays on i'm nowhere near my dealer. So it hasn't been checked out by them yet. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6).

The electronic door clocks are continuously failing where the door cannot be opened in an emergent situation. On 6/24/20 the front driver door latch had to be replaced and on 03/21/21 the left rear door latch had to be replaced. Presently the right rear door latch is not operating and the vehicle has been scheduled for service on 7/9/21.. When these locks fail you are unable to open the doors unless you can reach the lock to pull up. In an emergency such as a crash or fire this failure can be fatal. It appears that there is a design flaw or defect with these locks. Review of internet blogs reveal this may be a common unreported problem that needs immediate attention. In the event there are emergent circumstances requiring the removal of a child or elderly this may be tragic.
