NHTSA recall 23V122000
Visibility · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with the special vehicle operations accessory service kit #1 or #2 with a high specification vehicle interface connector. When the accessory kit is installed, the auxiliary wire harness will disable the heating, air-conditioning, and ventilation (HVAC) including the defrost and defog systems. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety…
Why it matters: An inoperative windshield defrosting and defogging system may decrease the driver's visibility under certain driving conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will repair the auxiliary wire harness by modifying the wire harness to include the necessary twisted loop, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 20, 2023.
