Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control (acc). While using the adaptive cruise control, the vehicle may falsely detect an obstacle in its path and may unexpectedly apply the brakes.

Why it matters: A vehicle that unexpectedly brakes increases the risk of a crash.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the cruise control module with updated acc radar software, free of charge. The recall began on October 25, 2015.
