“The transmission stud may chafe on the engine wiring loom. The engine warning light may also illuminate,” Ford says in its recall notice.
“Damage to the wiring loom may lead to reduced engine power and engine stall. This can increase the risk of injury and death of vehicle occupants and other road users in an accident,” it said.
- A total of 342 cars are included in the recall
- Affected vehicles were built between May 16 and September 28, 2019
- A VIN list of affected vehicles is attached here
- The original recall notice is attached here
Ford will contact owners of the affected vehicles and advise them to organise a free fix with their nearest dealer.
