Description
According to fords records, the remedy software for safety recall 20S73 may not have been installed correctly during a prior dealership visit. Because the correct software may not have been installed on your vehicle, the underlying condition specified in safety recall 20S73 may still exist. On your vehicle, it may be possible that the engine cover insulation does not fully extend to the perimeter of the factory engine cover. In addition, vehicles built on a Ford chassis may have higher engine compartment temperatures during certain idle conditions.
Safety Risk
This may result in elevated temperatures at certain areas of the engine cover surface in the passenger compartment on both driver and passenger sides. Direct and continuous contact with exposed skin at these locations may cause skin irritation and or a minor burn.
Remedy
Software is available to repair your vehicle. Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to reprogram the powertrain control module and if equipped, inspect the factory engine cover to install thermal insulation patches if necessary, free of charge. Your dealer will also perform an additional verification process to ensure that the software has installed correctly on your vehicle.
