Transport Canada recall 2024462 · manufacturer campaign 24S52

12 August 2024

Transport Canada lists: Police 2020–2022

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the connecting rod bearings may wear and cause the engine to fail. Note: This recall only affects certain police vehicles equipped with a 3.3L gas or hybrid engine.

Why it matters

An engine failure could cause a sudden loss of power to the wheels and/or increase the risk of a vehicle fire. Both issues could increase the risk of a crash or injury.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development. To reduce the safety risk, Ford recommends that you should shut off the engine as soon as possible if you hear unusual engine noises, see smoke from the engine compartment or notice reduced engine power.

Transport Canada recall 2023543 · manufacturer campaign 23S55

6 October 2023

Transport Canada lists: Explorer 2020–2022 · Police 2020–2022

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 22S27 (Transport Canada recall number 2022-198) may not address all safety risks. As a result, a second repair is required. On certain vehicles, a mounting bolt for the rear axle housing could break. If this happens, the axle housing could move and cause clunking or banging noises and vibrations from the rear of the vehicle. It could also cause the driveshaft and axle shafts to disconnect. This could result in a loss of power to the rear wheels. Also, if the previous recall was not completed, the vehicle could move when the transmission is in Park, if the parking brake is not used.

Why it matters

A parked vehicle that moves suddenly could create the risk of an injury or a crash. A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the subframe bushing and rear axle bolt. The dealer will also inspect the rear axle cover, and replace it as necessary.

Transport Canada recall 2023259 · manufacturer campaign 23C14

28 April 2023

Transport Canada lists: Police 2020–2022

What is wrong

On a small number of vehicles, the integrated computer screen (ICS) may not automatically turn on when the transmission is shifted to reverse. As a result, the rearview camera image may not appear when backing up. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 12.1" integrated computer screen (ICS). Safety Risks: A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the integrated computer screen software.

14 April 2022

Transport Canada lists: Explorer 2020–2022 · Police 2020–2021

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a mounting bolt for the rear axle housing could break. If this happens, the axle housing can move and cause clunking or banging noises and vibrations from the rear of the vehicle. It could also cause the driveshaft and axle shafts to disconnect. This would result in a loss of power to the rear wheels and the vehicle could move when the transmission is in Park, if the parking brake is not used.

Why it matters

A parked vehicle that rolls away could create the risk of an injury or a crash. A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail. For Police Interceptor Utility models, you will be instructed to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace a bushing and the rear axle housing cover. For all other models, you will be instructed to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the engine control module (PCM) software to set the parking brake when the transmission is in the Park position.

Transport Canada recall 2021010 · manufacturer campaign 21C01

18 January 2021

Transport Canada lists: Police 2020

What is wrong

On a small number of vehicles, the windshield washer fluid reservoir may have been filled with washer fluid that was contaminated with brake fluid. This could reduce the driver's ability to clear the windshield and cause damage to the wiper/washer system.

Why it matters

A windshield that is not properly cleared could block a driver's view. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to flush out the washer system and replace the washer bottle neck, washer pump assembly, fluid level sensor as well as the front and rear wiper blades. The dealer will also inspect and repair paint and exterior components, if necessary.
