Ford issues recall for over 270,000 vehicles due to safety concerns
- Replies 0
Attention Ford owners! Over 270,000 vehicles are being recalled due to a serious issue that could leave you stranded.
Could your car be at risk?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has flagged a serious issue with the battery in certain Ford models.
Internal failures within the battery could lead to degradation while driving, which may result in a sudden and complete battery failure.
Imagine cruising down the highway or navigating city streets when your vehicle suddenly loses power, including essential safety features like hazard lights.
This isn't just inconvenient; it's downright dangerous.
The affected vehicles could experience a loss of driving power, stall after an auto stop/start, or refuse to restart after coming to a stop at low speeds.
The potential for increased crash and injury risk is clear, and while Ford has not reported any accidents or injuries related to this issue, the recall is a proactive step to prevent such incidents.
The recall spans several recent models, specifically:
Ford is committed to addressing this issue at no cost to vehicle owners.
If your Bronco or Maverick is part of the recall, you should receive a notification by mail.
The company has set a target date of February 3rd to begin sending out these alerts.
Once notified, you should bring your vehicle to the nearest Ford dealer, where they will inspect and, if necessary, replace the 12-volt battery free of charge.
For immediate peace of mind, you can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 25S02.
It's also worth noting that vehicles previously serviced under recall 24V-267 will require this new remedy as well.
The GrayVine community values safety and security, especially when it comes to the vehicles that carry us and our loved ones.
We encourage all Ford owners to take this recall seriously and to act swiftly to ensure their vehicles are safe and sound.
Remember, staying on top of recalls is not just about maintaining your vehicle; it's about safeguarding your journey.
So, let's take the wheel on safety and ensure our rides are ready for the road ahead.
