Ford Motor Company Issues One Safety Compliance Recall and Two Safety Recalls in North America
DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 30, 2020 – Ford Motor Company is issuing one safety compliance recall and two safety recalls in North America.
Safety compliance recall for multiple 2020 model year vehicles for intermittent rearview camera operation
Affected vehicles have insufficient electrical conductivity within the printed circuit board internal to the camera. A rearview camera that intermittently displays a blank or distorted image would not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and requires corrective action by the manufacturer.

This action affects 620,246 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories, 76,566 in Canada and 4,302 in Mexico.

Safety recall for select 2020 Ford Mustang vehicles
Affected vehicles are equipped with a brake pedal bracket that could fracture during sudden stopping. During a sudden stop, the driver may experience a loss of primary braking capability that could increase the risk of an accident.

This action affects 38,005 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories, 2,251 in Canada and 322 in Mexico. Affected vehicles were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant from March 4, 2019, to Aug. 13, 2020.

Safety recall for select 2019 Ford F-Series Super Duty vehicles
Affected F-250 and F-350 vehicles are equipped with front axles that may contain a wheel end yoke that was not properly welded to the axle tube end. An improperly welded attachment may cause steering effects that could impact vehicle control. This may include pulling to the right or left, misalignment of the steering wheel or change in steering sensitivity that could affect the response of the vehicle to driver input during a hard-braking event, increasing risk of a crash.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
This action affects 9,628 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories and 961 in Canada. Affected vehicles were built at Kentucky Truck Plant from Aug. 24 to Oct. 16, 2019.
