The defect in the wiring harness of the rear boot lid may cause intermittent operation of the rear-view camera, loss of satellite radio reception, inoperative luggage compartment lamp and/or inoperable luggage compartment release.
A spokesperson for Ford said: “If the rear-view camera display does not continually display the rear-view image whilst reversing the vehicle, it could increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to any persons located behind the vehicle”.
The recall has affected 18,840 cars and Ford will contact the owners in writing requesting they make an appointment at their preferred Ford Authorised Dealership for inspection and repair, free of charge.
For further information, contact any Authorised Ford Dealer or Ford’s Customer Relationship Centre, 133 673.
