Ford E-Series Stripped Chassis

Issue: 
On certain incomplete vehicles, the blower motor may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the blower motor could fail and cause the windshield defrost system not to work properly. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A windshield defroster that doesn't work may cause reduced visibility and increase the risk of a crash.   
 
Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the blower motor assembly.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, there could be a problem with the connections inside the rearview camera. As a result, the rearview camera image may not display correctly or at all when the transmission is shifted into reverse. 
Note: For certain models, this recall also affects incomplete vehicles. 

Safety Risk: 
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.  

Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rearview camera.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a problem in the transmission could cause a loss of power to the drive wheels. Note: This problem affects vehicles equipped with a 5R110W transmission and 5.4 L engine. 

Safety Risk: 
A loss of power to the drive wheels could increase the risk of a crash. For an ambulance, a loss of power could also cause a delay in patient care. 

Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to replace the defective transmission parts.

On certain vehicles, the speed control deactivation switch may overheat, smoke, or burn, potentially resulting in an underhood fire.  The condition may occur either when the vehicle is parked or when it is in operation.  Correction: Initially as an interim repair, owners will be instructed to return their vehicles to their dealers to have the speed control deactivation switch disconnected.  As soon as replacement parts are available, owners will be instructed to return to the dealers for installation of a new switch or fused wiring harness.

On certain Cutaway Chassis Cab vehicles with school bus option, two brackets and two outriggers intended to enhance crash performance may have been omitted.  Correction:  Dealer will inspect vehicles and install brackets and outrigger as required.
