Transport Canada recall 2019432 · manufacturer campaign 19S28

27 August 2019

Transport Canada lists: Fiesta 2012–2013

What is wrong

On certain cars, water and road debris can enter the battery junction box. This could result in corrosion of some electrical components. If this happens, the low beam headlights and daytime running lights could turn off while driving. This recall applies to cars originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador).

Why it matters

A loss of low beam headlights and/or daytime running lights would reduce visibility. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their car to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to service the battery junction box. The dealer will clean the battery junction box, install foam sealing to the cover, and replace any corroded fuses, terminals or relays.

Transport Canada lists: Fiesta 2011–2014 · Fusion 2013 · MKZ 2013

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the door latches may have a broken pawl spring tab. This could result in the door not latching correctly. As a result, doors which appear to be latched could unlatch while driving. This could increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant seated next to the door, or result in damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace all four door latches with a more robust part.

27 November 2013

Transport Canada lists: Fiesta 2013

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. The Tire and Loading Information Label may contain incorrect tire size and inflation pressure information. Incorrect inflation pressure and/or use of replacement tires of an incorrect size and load rating may result in tire damage and could adversely affect vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the Tire and Loading Information Label and install a revised label if necessary

Transport Canada recall 2012332 · manufacturer campaign 12C26

1 October 2012

Transport Canada lists: Fiesta 2011–2013

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the Restraint Control Module will turn OFF the right side air curtain, as well as the front passenger seat-mounted side airbag, when the Occupant Classification System (OCS) senses the right front seat is not occupied. Although the vehicle meets prescribed Standards for side impact protection, failure of the right side air curtain to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the right rear seat occupant.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the Restraint Control Module.
