Transport Canada lists: F 150 2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 17C01 (Transport Canada recall no. 2017-040) may not have been done correctly. As a result, a second repair is required. On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the instrument panel cluster screen not to display when the vehicle is started. As a result, you may not be able to see certain information about the vehicle, including the gear selection, speedometer, warning lights and malfunction tell-tales.

Why it matters

Warnings, gauges, gear selection and tell-tales indicators that don't display could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

What is wrong

Why it matters

Reduced front brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Transport Canada lists: F 150 2015–2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the activation of the front seat belt pretensioners in a crash may result in momentary ignition of pretensioner exhaust gases. This could ignite materials in the B-pillar area, leading to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the B-pillar area, modify the floor covering and sound insulation, and apply heat-resistant tape.

Transport Canada lists: F 150 2017–2018 · F 650 2017–2018 · F 750 2017–2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a clip that locks the gear shift cable to the transmission may not be fully seated. Over time, this could allow the transmission to be in a gear state different than the gear shift position selected by the driver. This condition could allow the driver to move the shifter to Park and remove the ignition key while the transmission gear may not be in Park. If the parking brake is not applied, this could result in unintended vehicle movement, which would increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the shift cable locking clip and reseat it as necessary.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a roll pin attaching the park pawl rod guide cup to the transmission case may not have been installed. Over time, this could cause the transmission to lose the Park function even when the shifter and instrument panel display PARK. If the parking brake is not applied, this could result in unintended vehicle movement, which would increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and install the missing roll pin as necessary.

Transport Canada recall 2017519 · manufacturer campaign 17S36

25 October 2017

Transport Canada lists: F 150 2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the roll pin attaching the transmission shift linkage to the transmission may come out. If this were to occur, movement of the shift lever by the driver will not change the transmission gear state. The transmission will remain in the gear it was in when the pin came out regardless of the position of the shift lever, and as a result, the shifter indicator could display inaccurate information. This could allow for the ignition key to be removed when the vehicle’s transmission is in a position other than park, and if the driver exits the vehicle without applying the parking brake, could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will remove and replace the roll pin with an updated part.

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

On certain vehicles, the passenger's frontal airbag inflator could be over pressurized during airbag deployment due to a potential airflow impairment in the inflator module, which may cause the inflator to rupture. An inflator rupture during a crash (where deployment is warranted), could prevent proper deployment of the passenger frontal airbag and could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag module.

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with rear inflatable seat belts may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 210 – Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages. The left rear inflatable seat belt buckle may have been assembled with a rivet that was improperly staked. As a result, the left rear seat belt assembly could separate from its mounting bracket during a crash, which could increase the risk of injury and would fail to meet the anchorage strength requirements of the standard.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the left rear seat belt buckle rivet, and replace the seat belt buckle assembly if necessary.

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.

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 102 - Transmission Control Functions. Immediately after an engine start-up in cold ambient temperatures, operators may experience a loss of instrument cluster display functionality, including the loss of PRNDL illumination, jittering gauge pointers and flashing on/off warning lights. This could result in the instrument panel cluster not illuminating and not displaying the selected transmission gear position, which could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster. Note: An inoperative instrument panel cluster may also prevent the activation of certain warning chimes, messages and warning lights.
