NHTSA recall 16V617000
Electrical System, Visibility · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The settings for the closing-force of the power-operated windows may allow the windows to close on an object such as a body part and injure it before the windows auto-reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 118, "power-operated window systems."
Why it matters: If a window closes on a body part, it can increase the risk of injury.
The fix: Ford has notified owners, and dealers will update the power window operating system software, free of charge. The recall began on September 6, 2016.
