NHTSA recall 14V526000
Hybrid Propulsion System · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The coolant pump for the hybrid system may fail resulting in the hybrid electronics overheating.
Why it matters: If the hybrid electronics system overheats, it may shut down the powertrain, resulting in a stall-like condition, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the original motor electronics coolant (mec) pump with an improved brushless pump, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on October 27, 2014.
