Ford Is Re-Recalling More Than 389,000 CarsPeter Dazeley - Getty ImagesAs regular readers of Road & Track are well aware of by now, Ford has had a bit of a rough go of things in the last couple years with regard to recalls. The Blue Oval logged over 150 separate callbacks last year alone, covering nearly 13 million vehicles. Ford is working hard to fix the overarching issues at play—for example, implementing new quality control measures at its engine plants around the globe.But making up for past problems also means fixing any problems that might not have been addressed the first time around in the recall process. Which is exactly what FoMoCo is dealing with right now, as the automaker has just this month announced the need to re-recall nearly 400,000 previously recalled cars, trucks, and SUVs to fix multiple separate issues that were previously repaired incorrectly.The majority of the products involved—some 255,404 out of the total of 389,316 vehicles—are Ford Focus vehicles made in the 2012–2018 model year span. According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filing, these cars have a canister purge valve that could malfunction and cause the engine to stall. A full 100 percent of these cars are believed to suffer from the problem, which was improperly fixed under recall number 18V735; dealers will address it by updating the powertrain control module software.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe next-largest batch of affected vehicles are 91,190 F-150 pickups from the 2018, 2019 and 2020 model years. A NHTSA filing reveals these trucks, which were previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 20V097, have daytime running lights that may not dim properly when the headlight switch is flipped from automatic to "Headlamps On." 100 percent of the F-150s are believed to have the defect, which can be fixed by reprogramming the body control module software.Ford10,742 2018 Ford F-150s that were previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 17V669 are being recalled as well, due to unintended vehicle movement; according to NHTSA documentation, quickly moving the shifter from P to D could cause the momentary accidental selection of Reverse or Neutral. Again, 100 percent of the trucks are expected to suffer from the problem, which can be fixed with a PCM software update.On top of that, 4445 F-150s from model year 2017 that were repaired wrong under recall 17V053 are being called back in because the instrument panel could lose power after initial start-up in cold outside temperatures, thus leading crucial gauges to become inoperable. 100 percent of trucks are estimated to have the defect, and a software update should fix it.Meanwhile, a group of 18,124 2017 Ford Escapes are being re-recalled for power windows with a haywire automatic reversal function that may put an unacceptable amount of force on an object before retreating. The crossovers were fixed incorrectly under recall number 16V617, according to NHTSA documents; 100 percent of the SUVs are estimated to have the issue, and a power window OS software update will fix it.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe oddly satisfying number of 5252 2015–2018 Focuses and 2013–2016 Fusions, which were previously fixed improperly under recall numbers 18V169 and 18V845, are being recalled because their clutch could fracture and lead to a transmission fluid leak. Again, 100 percent of the units involved are believed to have the problem, and again, a software update is the prescribed fix.fordFinally, a batch of 4151 2019 Ford Mustangs and Lincoln Navigators and Nautiluses (Nautilii?) that were fixed incorrectly under recall 19V076 are being called back in for a re-fix. According to NHTSA documents, the vehicles' instrument panel cluster assembly may fail to work at vehicle start-up, leading to a blank display. You guessed it: 100 percent are believed to have the defect, and a software update will fix it.Owner notification letters are expected to be sent out after the July 4th weekend, but any concerned Ford owners can call customer service at 1-866-436-7332. The VINs of the affected vehicles will be searchable on the NHTSA.gov site starting July 6th.You Might Also LikeIf You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
