What is wrong

On certain vehicles, there could be a problem with the connections inside the rearview camera. As a result, the rearview camera image may not display correctly or at all when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Note: For certain models, this recall also affects incomplete vehicles.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rearview camera.

What is wrong

On certain Super Duty models equipped with a SuperCrew cab, after a crash where a front seat belt pretensioner deploys, the carpet and/or carpet insulation could catch fire.

Why it matters

A fire that occurs after a crash could create an increased risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer for repair. The dealer will apply foil tape to the carpet and carpet insulation, and modify the sound deadener on the back side of both driver and passenger side B-pillar trim panels as needed.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, door latch shielding may not be sufficient. As a result, water could enter into the side door latch and freeze, causing the latch mechanism to bind after opening. In addition, latch actuation cables may have been bent or kinked during installation, and could result in latch binding. A frozen door latch, or bent or kinked actuation cable may result in a door that will not open or will not close. If a latch does not fully engage the door striker, there is a potential for a door to open while the vehicle is in motion, which could increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will install water shields over the door latches and the door latch actuation cables will be inspected and repaired if needed.

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with a front passenger side manual seat track may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 207 - Anchorage of Seats and CMVSS 210 – Seat Belt Anchorages. If the front passenger seat track does not have sufficient weld penetration between the seat belt anchor and the seat cushion frame, the front seat passenger may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the manual seat track.

What is wrong

Certain decorative chrome door handle covers, sold as aftermarket accessories through Ford dealers, may affect compliance to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. These accessories may cause the door handles to fail to conform to the inertial load requirements of the standard. A door handle fitted with a chrome cover could unlatch due to inertial loads during a side impact crash if the door were unlocked, which would increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Covers will be removed from vehicles and owners will be reimbursed for parts and labour.

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with a manual-recline driver seat may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 202 - Head Restraints and CMVSS 207 - Anchorage of Seats. Due to a manufacturing error, the recliner mechanism may have been incorrectly welded to the seat-back frame, which would result in the seat failing to meet the requirements of the standards. This could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the front driver seat back frame build date and replace as necessary.

Powertrain

Transport Canada recall 2017182 · manufacturer campaign 17S08

29 March 2017

Transport Canada lists: F 450 2017 · F 550 2017

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with a 6.8L gasoline engine, 4x4 drive, 205” wheel base and 4.88 axle ratio may experience a driveline vibration caused by a powertrain resonance at speeds above 120 km/h. Continued operation of a vehicle at these speeds could result in a resonance frequency that may fracture transmission and/or driveline components. If the transmission and or driveline components were to fracture, it could result in a loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion, or unintended vehicle movement in Park if the parking brake is not applied, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the two-piece driveshaft with a new three-piece driveshaft and two center bearing brackets.

Transport Canada lists: F 350 2017 · F 450 2017 · F 550 2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine and a middle position fuel tank, there could be inadequate adhesion between the protective shield and the fuel conditioning module. This could allow for the the shield to be dislodged by road debris or water spray, which could force open the drain valve on the module. If the drain valve were to be forced open, this could result in substantial fuel leak. It could also allow for air ingress into the fuel system, which may cause the engine to stumble. A substantial fuel leak on a road surface could increase the risk of a crash, and a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the adhesive mounted protective shield on the fuel conditioning module with a bolt-on metallic protective shield.
