NHTSA recall 18V894000
Engine · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with an engine block heater. Water and contaminants may get into the block heater cable's splice connector causing corrosion and damage.
Why it matters: When the heater is plugged in, prolonged corrosion could cause a resistive short, increasing the risk of overheated or melted wiring which can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will disable the block heater cable, free of charge. Once parts are available, dealers will replace the engine block heater cable, free of charge. The recall began June 3, 2019.
