2013 FORD C-MAX Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2013 Ford C-Max has 6 recalls, the most serious involving door latches and child locks that can fail to secure properly, and airbag systems that may not deploy correctly in a crash. Recalls 1 and 5 describe the same child lock problem: the left rear door child lock can feel like it has engaged but has not, leaving the door openable from inside by a child. Recall 4 covers a door latch that may not hold securely and can swing open while driving; this recall specifically notes that prior repair attempts on affected vehicles may not have resolved the issue. On the restraint side, moisture can corrode the airbag control module, potentially disabling airbags or seatbelt pretensioners and triggering the warning light. In certain rollover situations, side curtain airbags can also deploy late, reducing their ability to protect occupants. Recall 6 only affects C-Max Hybrid models without a panoramic roof: in a crash, the interior roof structure can expose occupants to a higher risk of head injury than federal safety standards allow.
