REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, the battery cable wire harness may not be properly secured at the right hand shock tower, allowing contact with the A/C compressor pulley. Over time, the A/C pulley may rub through the wire harness insulation and contact the unfused battery positive (B+) circuit, resulting in a short circuit and potential fire.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to inspect the battery cable wire harness for possible damage caused by contact with the A/C pulley, repair or replace the harness as necessary, and install a tie strap to prevent future contact. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
At this time, parts are not available to repair all vehicles. Until parts are available to repair all vehicles, dealers may submit a part order request to the SSSC to authorize repairs on customer-owned vehicles and unsold vehicles with a signed sales contact.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of October 21, 2019. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Inspect the battery positive cable wire harness in the areas shown for damaged and exposed wire. See Figure 1.
– Replace the wire harness if any of the larger circuits (2/4/6 awg) have exposed copper wire strands.
– Repair any damaged (smaller gauge) circuits in the wire harness that have exposed copper wire strands. Please follow the recommended splicing method contained in the wire diagrams section of the Workshop Manual (WSM).
2. Inspect the tie-strap located on the passenger side strut tower. Tighten the tie-strap to properly retain the harness. See Figure 1.
– Replace the tie-strap if it cannot be tightened fully.
3. If damage to the battery positive cable wire harness was present, the Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor belt must be replaced. Please follow the WSM procedures in Section 303-05A for 2.3L engines or 303-05C for 3.3L engines.

Este aviso se le envía de acuerdo con la Ley Nacional de Seguridad y Tránsito de Vehículos de los EE. UU. Ford Motor Company ha determinado que su vehículo presenta un defecto relacionado con la seguridad del motor, con el VIN que aparece más arriba.
Lamentamos esta situación y deseamos asegurarle que, con su ayuda, corregiremos el problema.
| ¿Cuál es el problema? | En su vehículo, el arnés de la batería podría no estar correctamente asegurado en la torre del amortiguador del lado derecho, lo cual hace posible el contacto con la polea del compresor del A/C. |
| ¿Qué riesgo existe? | Con el paso del tiempo, la polea del A/C podría rozar en el aislamiento del arnés y generar contacto con el circuito positivo de la batería (B+) sin fusible, lo cual se traduce en un cortocircuito y un posible incendio. |
| ¿Qué medidas adoptarán Ford y su distribuidor? | Ford Motor Company ha autorizado a su distribuidor a instalar una cinta de amarre al arnés de la batería a fin de evitar contacto futuro con la polea del compresor de A/C. Su distribuidor también inspeccionará el arnés de la batería para detectar posibles daños causados por el contacto con la polea del A/C y reparar o reemplazar el arnés, según sea necesario. Estas reparaciones se realizarán sin costo alguno (piezas y mano de obra). |
| ¿Cuánto tiempo tomará? | El tiempo necesario para reparar será menos de medio día. Sin embargo, debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su distribuidor tarde un poco más. Es posible que se necesite más tiempo para permitir que el motor se enfríe antes de realizar esta reparación. Además, su vehículo requerirá una inspección para determinar si se deben solicitar piezas para llevar a cabo una reparación adicional. |
| ¿Qué debe hacer? | Llame a su distribuidor lo antes posible y solicite una cita de servicio para llevar a cabo la campaña 19S32. Proporcione el VIN a su distribuidor, el cual está impreso debajo de sus datos al comienzo de esta carta.
Para esta campaña de seguridad, Ford no ha emitido instrucciones de no manejar el vehículo.

Adicionalmente, existen otras funciones, como reserva y pago de estacionamientos en ciertos lugares, además de control de ciertas funciones en el vehículo (bloqueo y desbloqueo de puertas, arranque remoto) si así está equipado para permitir el control. |
| ¿Necesita un vehículo de alquiler? | Si su distribuidor determina que es necesario efectuar el reemplazo del arnés y el vehículo debe permanecer en las instalaciones durante la noche, el distribuidor está autorizado a ofrecerle un vehículo de alquiler para su transporte personal sin costo (excepto combustible y seguro) mientras su vehículo se encuentre en reparación. Comuníquese con su distribuidor para conocer las pautas y limitaciones. |
| ¿Qué pasa si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo? | Si usted ya no es el propietario del vehículo y tiene la dirección del propietario actual, le solicitamos que le reenvíe esta carta.
Usted recibió este aviso porque las regulaciones del gobierno exigen el envío de notificaciones al propietario conocido más reciente del registro. Nuestros registros se basan principalmente en datos estatales y de propiedad, que indican que usted es el propietario actual del vehículo. |

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS, AMENDS A PREVIOUS RECALL
OCT 2, 2019 | DEARBORN, MICH.
DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 2, 2019 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America and amending safety compliance recall 19C07. Details are as follows:
Safety recall for select 2019 Ford F-Series Super Duty vehicles
Ford is issuing a safety recall for select 2019 Ford F-Series Super Duty vehicles. On affected vehicles, the electronically locking rear-axle assembly may have a passenger-side axle shaft manufactured with steel that does not meet Ford’s specifications. A passenger-side rear axle shaft manufactured with material not to Ford’s specifications may fracture. A fractured passenger-side axle shaft could result in a loss of motive power while driving in two-wheel drive, and the inability to hold the park function. If the parking brake is not applied, this could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of crash or injury.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
This action affects 28,579 vehicles in the United States and federal territories, 4,316 in Canada and 73 in Mexico.
Affected vehicles were built at Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant, May 21 – July 26, 2019.
Dealers will inspect the passenger-side rear axle shaft; shafts with a suspect batch code will be replaced. Owners are advised to apply the parking brake whenever the vehicle is parked until the service fix is completed. The Ford reference number for this recall is 19S31.
Safety recall for select 2020 Ford Explorer vehicles for an improperly secured wiring harness
Ford is issuing a safety recall for select 2020 Ford Explorer vehicles with 2.3-liter and 3.3-liter gas engines. In affected vehicles, the wiring harness is not properly secured and may contact the air-conditioning pulley, resulting in a damaged wiring harness or damaged air-conditioning drive belt. Over time, contact with the air-conditioning pulley may rub through the wiring harness insulation, creating the potential for contact with the unfused B+ circuit, resulting in a short circuit and possible fire.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition.
This action affects 10,655 vehicles in the United States. The majority of affected vehicles are in dealer inventory. The issue will be remedied prior to delivery to customers.
Affected vehicles were built at Chicago Assembly Plant, May 28 – July 18, 2019.
Dealers will secure the wiring harness and repair any damage, if present. The Ford reference number for this recall is 19S32.
Safety compliance recall 19C07 amended to include select 2020 Ford Escape vehicles
Ford is issuing an amendment to safety compliance recall 19C07 announced Aug. 30, 2019, to include select 2020 Ford Escape vehicles and expand the build date range of other affected vehicles. The amendment includes approximately 9,350 Escape vehicles in North America built April 3, 2019, to Sept. 21, 2019 at Louisville Assembly Plant. The majority of vehicles are in dealer inventory and this issue will be remedied prior to customer delivery”
