Details

What's wrong: During dealer servicing, the affected vehicles may be have been updated with incorrect antilock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (esc) software. This software can cause the esc system to lose engine torque control, and not provide any warning lamps to warn the driver if there was an ABS or esc system malfunction. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle…

Why it matters: If the operator is not warned of an ABS or esc malfunction and the esc loses engine torque control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ABS module, and update the service software, free of charge. The recall begin November 22, 2016.
