Defect
On certain vehicles, the mounting flange between the external reservoirs and the rear shock absorbers may corrode and fail. If this happens, the external reservoir(s) could detach from the vehicle. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with Bilstein shock absorbers.
Safety Risk
An external reservoir that detaches from the vehicle could create a hazard for other road users and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the rear shock absorbers. The dealer will apply an anti-corrosion sealant and install a shield, or replace the shock absorbers, as necessary.
