Defect
On one vehicle, the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 25S26 (Transport Canada recall no. 2025-139) may not have been done correctly. As a result, another repair is required. On certain vehicles, the powertrain control module (PCM) and body control module (BCM) may not detect a change in the charge level of the 12 V battery. As a result, the engine could stall. This could also cause the engine not to restart after a start-stop event and the hazard lights may not work.
Safety Risk
A sudden loss of power to the wheels or a vehicle that doesn't restart after a start-stop event could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, hazard lamps that don't work could make the vehicle less visible and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will notify the owner by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to update the PCM and BCM software.
