NHTSA recall 19V687000
Electrical System · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 2.3L or 3.3L engines. The wiring harness may not have been properly secured and may contact the air conditioner compressor (a/c) pulley, potentially damaging the harness or the a/c belt.
Why it matters: The a/c pulley may rub through the wiring harness insulation and contact the unfused battery positive wire, resulting in a short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install a tie strap to the wiring harness at the hand shock tower clip, free of charge. The recall began October 21, 2019.
