HVAC Blower Motor Smoke/Fire
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| Ranger | 2019 | Michigan | August 1, 2019 through September 27, 2019 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Vehicles repaired as part of 19S34, from October 9, 2019 (FSA approval date) through November 22, 2019 (Dealer Bulletin Supplement #3). may have been repaired with a suspect blower motor due to mixed service stock. Ford Motor Company wants to ensure the replaced blower motor is inspected and updated, if necessary.
In some of the affected vehicles, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) blower motor may have been built with improper clearance between the electrical terminal and the conductive base plate. This may result in a resistive short in the HVAC blower motor that can increase the risk of overheating, melting, or creating smoke that may reduce visibility while driving and/or fire.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to inspect the HVAC blower motor date code (on both the vehicle and all replacement service parts before installation on a vehicle). Dealers will replace the blower motor if the date code is 190614 (June 14, 2019) through 190922 (September 22, 2019). This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
All service parts ordered by dealer should be inspected for date codes between 190614 (June 14, 2019) through 190922 (September 22, 2019).
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL A SERVICE PART ON VEHICLE IF DATE CODES ARE 190614 (June 14, 2019) THROUGH 190922 (September 22, 2019).
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters will be mailed the week of April 6, 2020. 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.

| ¿Cuál es el problema? | En nuestros registros se indica que en su vehículo, antes de su entrega, se realizó una reparación asociada a una campaña de seguridad (Campaña de seguridad 19S34 de Ford) en la que se reemplazó el motor del soplador del sistema de calefacción, ventilación y aire acondicionado (HVAC). El motor del soplador de reemplazo instalado en su vehículo provino del mismo inventario que el motor del soplador original. Ford Motor Company desea asegurarse de que se inspeccione y, si fuera necesario, que se actualice el motor del soplador reemplazado en su vehículo. Un motor del soplador incorrecto podría haberse fabricado con una separación incorrecta entre el terminal eléctrico y la placa de soporte conductora. Esto podría generar un cortocircuito a resistencia, lo cual podría aumentar el riesgo de sobrecalentamiento, fundición o humo en el motor del soplador, lo que podría reducir la visibilidad mientras maneja y/o aumentar el riesgo de incendio. |

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL FOR SELECT 2019 FORD RANGER VEHICLES FOR AN HVAC BLOWER MOTOR ISSUE
MAR 11, 2020 | DEARBORN, MICH.
DEARBORN, Mich., March 11, 2020 – Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for select 2019 Ford Ranger vehicles. Affected vehicles had the heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC, blower motor replaced from Oct. 9 to Nov. 22, 2019, per recall 19S34. The replacement part used for that service may have been built with an improper clearance between an electrical terminal and the conductive base-plate slot that could result in a resistive electrical short. This condition can increase the risk of the HVAC blower motor overheating, melting, smoking or causing a fire.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident, injury or fire related to this condition.
This action affects vehicles that were previously repaired per safety recall 19S34: 5,384 in the U.S. and federal territories and 418 in Canada.
Affected vehicles were built at Michigan Assembly Plant from Aug. 1 to Sept. 27, 2019.
Dealers will inspect the HVAC blower-motor date code. Blower motors built within the suspect time frame will be replaced. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20S12.
Submission Date: 03/09/2020
Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination for Ford Motor Company Recall #20S12
Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.
October – December 2019
On October 9, 2019, Ford approved Field Service Action 19S34 regarding certain 2019MY
Ranger vehicles due to risk of overheating, melting, smoke and/or fire from the Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) blower motor. Suspect blower motors recalled under 19S34 will have a build date code of June 14, 2019 through September 22, 2019.
On October 30, 2019, a Ford dealership reported receiving a service replacement blower motor to use for the FSA repair that had a suspect build date code. As Ford began investigating that report, five additional dealers reported receiving replacement service blower motors for the FSA repair that were built with a suspect date code. Upon further investigation, the Tier 2 supplier identified 300 suspect blower motors that were not properly quarantined and were shipped to the Tier 1 supplier. The Tier 1 supplier then shipped the blower motors to Ford’s service distribution network as if the blower motors had been properly inspected.
The concern was brought to the Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) for review on November 5, 2019, and an investigation was opened. First, in an effort to locate all suspect blower motors, Ford’s service distribution network and dealers returned blower motors to the Tier 1 supplier for inspection. Second, on November 22, 2019, Ford issued 19S34 Dealer Bulletin Supplement #3 directing dealers to additionally inspect the blower motor date code on the service part and not to install it for the FSA repair if the blower motor is within the suspect date range. Third, a search of field data found no reports of melting, smoke or fire related to this service parts issue. The CCRG continued to monitor field data while attempting to locate the suspect blower motors.
January – February 2020
As of February 21, 2020, 93 of the 300 suspect parts have been located. Ford conducted electrical continuity testing on 30 of the 93 located suspect blower motors. Five of the 30 suspect blower motors had measurable resistance indicating improper clearance between the electrical terminal and the conductive base plate. The Tier 2 supplier later cross-sectioned these five parts and confirmed a touch condition between the electrical terminal and the conductive base plate slot.
Although a further review of field data continued to find no reports of melting, smoke or fire related to this service parts issue, vehicles repaired under FSA 19S34 from October 9, 2019 (FSA approval date) through November 22, 2019 (19S34 Dealer Bulletin Supplement #3) may have been repaired with a suspect bower motor.
On March 2, 2020, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
Ford is not aware of any reports of smoke, melting or fire associated to this concern.
OneGene is the tier 2 supplier for the blower motor and TaeSung is the tier 3 supplier for the base plate.
