NHTSA recall 13V475000

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with the intelligent Access push button start system. In the affected vehicles, there is no audible chime when the vehicle is operational and the driver's door is opened. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 114, "theft protection and rollaway prevention."

Why it matters: Without an audible door chime, a vehicle owner may open the door and exit the vehicle without being reminded that the vehicle is still operational, leaving the vehicle susceptible to theft.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the door chime, free of charge. The recall began on October 30, 2013.
