Transport Canada recall 2016183 · manufacturer campaign 16S19

26 April 2016

Transport Canada lists: Expedition 2012 · F 150 2011–2012 · Mustang 2012 · Navigator 2012

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission may experience an intermittent loss of the Transmission Output-shaft Speed Sensor (OSS) signal to the Power Control Module. This could potentially cause an unintended downshift into first gear, which depending on vehicle speed at the time of the downshift, may cause the rear tires to slide or lock up until the vehicle slows. This may result in a loss of vehicle control without warning, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the Powertrain Control Module with updated software.

Transport Canada recall 2012149 · manufacturer campaign 12C23

1 May 2012

Transport Canada lists: Expedition 2012 · F 150 2011–2012 · Mustang 2012–2013 · Navigator 2012

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may have been equipped with an incorrectly manufactured Transmission Range Sensor. In some instances, when the shift lever is placed in the "R" position, signal may not be provided to the electronic transmission range indicator "PRNDL" for "R" illumination and/or for backup lamp activation. Should the backup lamps fail to illuminate, the driver's intentions to reverse may not be conveyed clearly to other motorists and/or pedestrians, which could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the Transmission Range Sensor.

Transport Canada recall 2012028 · manufacturer campaign 12C22

30 January 2012

Transport Canada lists: Expedition 2012 · Navigator 2012

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the second row right-hand seat may have been manufactured incorrectly. Improper weld penetration between the head restraint guide sleeve tube and the seat back frame could allow the headrest to fail during a rear-end vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the seat back frame for the second row right-hand seat.
