Mondeo

Defect

On affected vehicles a software problem may result in issues with the rear-view camera that reduce the driver’s view or with it remaining on after a reversing event.

Remedy

Update the vehicle software to the latest level.

Defect

Affected vehicles may develop a crack in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

Remedy

Update software to prevent a cracked DPF. Test and replace DPFs that are already cracked.

Defect

Drivers airbag may not deploy correctly

Remedy

Replace Driver air bag assembly

Defect

Possible thermal incident within the battery monitor sensor wiring

Remedy

Install a fused jumper loom into the battery monitor sensor wiring

Defect

localized overheating of the engine cylinder head may cause the cylinder head to crack.This may cause a pressurized oil leak which in extreme circumstances could result in a fire in the engine compartment.

Remedy

A coolant level sensor needs to be fitted to provide an audible and visual warning to the customer and in extreme circumstances reduce the engine power.

Defect

A number of vehicles fitted with a 1.0 1.5 or 1.6 Ecoboost engine and 6-speed manual transmission could suffer clutch pressure plate fracture. This results in clutch smell reduced vehicle speed and performance. In the unlikely event of clutch pressure plate fracture a noise (thud / bang) could be heard from the vicinity of the transmission in extreme cases resulting in clutch / transmission fragments being released and striking under hood components creating a risk of smoke and fire from the under hood area.

Remedy

To prevent the repeated heating /cooling events a new calibration has been developed for vehicles fitted with Engine Stop Start feature. The software with the additional feature sets the Instrument panel �Wrench light� and de-rates the engine performance if prolonged clutch slip is detected. The software feature includes a drive cycle strategy for latching the wrench light and engine performance de-rate if the customer should experience repeated clutch slip events. For vehicles that do not have Engine Stop Start feature an alternative clutch kit has been released.

Defect

Tilt/slide roof opening panel glass is not correctly bonded to its mounting.

Remedy

Install a new roof opening glass panel on affected vehicles.

Defect

A/C Compressor pulley may become detached.

Remedy

On affected vehicles fit a new A/C compressor clutch pulley.

Defect

The engine control module calibration may not adequately detect an overheat condition in certain 2.0L Duratorq Diesel engines. In extreme cases an overheated engine can result in a breach of the oil sump leading to loss of the engine oil.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download revised software for the control module calibration that improves overheat detection and provides an instrument cluster warning indicator to the driver and engine de-rate strategy.

Defect

The driver side front seat belt pre-tensioner cable could separate during deployment leaving the driver inadequately restrained in a collision which increases the risk of injury.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a new driver side front seat belt assembly.

Defect

Vehicles fitted with Adaptive LED Headlamps could experience a condition where the loss of a control signal in combination with a software error may cause the headlamps to switch off. There is a risk of collision if defect happens at night.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and updated software will be loaded to the affected modules.

Defect

It is possible that a leak can occur between the injector spill rail connection and the plastic fuel return pipe. This can cause leakage of fuel which can either pool on the engine cylinder head and then become deposited onto the road surface where it could cause a skid risk to other motorist or if the fuel comes into contact with extremely hot engine components an exhaust manifold for instance it is possible that an under bonnet fire could ensue.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles inspect the fuel spill rail/return pipe and if required replace the spill rail with a new modified rail.

Defect

Vehicles affected could demonstrate symptoms such as headlamps and indicators flashing unintentionally and/or headlamps switching off. The concern is due to software errors.

Remedy

The vehicles that are likely to be affected are to be recalled to have modified software applied to the Body Control Module and Power Train Control Module.

Defect

During engine warm up it is possible that the non return valve within the vacuum pump may stick. It is possible that if sufficient brake applications are made before the valve releases the vacuum stored within the brake booster will be used up and a hard brake pedal and longer stopping distances may result.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a revised design of non return valve to the brake vacuum pump.

Defect

The brakes may lock up under emergency braking conditions due to valves in the hydraulic control unit being of incorrect specification.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the hydraulic control unit.

Defect

The yaw rate sensor may be out of specification which may lead to unexpected braking

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles inspect sensors and renew as necessary

Defect

Yaw rate sensor out of specification the effect of which may result in unexpected braking

Remedy

Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled for inspection of the yaw sensors which will be replaced as necessary.

Defect

The handbrake may not hold the vehicle stationary when parked if it is not applied as directed in the owner literature.

Remedy

Fit a revised handbrake assembly with an improved leverage ratio.

Defect

The power steering pressure hose may chafe on the engine inlet manifold. This could ultimately result in an oil leak and a loss of power assistance to the steering.

Remedy

Fit latest production level revised routing power steering pressure hose.

Defect

Battery cable may chafe on transmission valve cover plate.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles check cable insulation repair if necessary and retain cable clear of cover plate.

Defect

Under certain parking conditions the vehicle handbrake may not prevent the vehicle from moving.

Remedy

Ford Dealers will fit an extension block to both rear caliper handbrake actuation levers.

Defect

The design of the parking brake ratchet teeth can allow a partial engagement resulting in damage to the tooth which can then slip to the next tooth. If ignored the wear will continue on the next tooth and the efficiency of the parking brake may become insufficient to hold the vehicle in place.

Remedy

Replace parking brake lever assembly with one that has a revised tooth profile.

Defect

Corrosion of the rear brake pressure limiting valve may allow brake fluid to leak from a joint.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and replace pressure limiting valve.

Defect

Some vehicles have been built with door latches which may not be to specification. An internal plastic pawl within the assembly may seize which results in the latch failing to function as designed preventing the door being securely shut.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and fit quality assured replacement door latches.

Defect

Unexpected passenger air bag deployment due to an electrostatic discharge through the air bag igniter.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and fit ground wire to passenger air bag

Defect

It is possible that some Mondeo vehicles may have been fitted with a right hand front brake caliper where the casting is not to specification. In time this may result in fluid leakage with the loss of one brake circuit.

Remedy

Recall the affected vehicles for a check on the manufacturing date of the subject caliper. Caliper units falling within the affected range will be replaced.

Defect

The brake vacuum pump may cease to provide vacuum assistance. Should this occur greater brake pedal pressure would be needed and stopping distances may be increased.

Remedy

The affected vehicles are being recalled to Ford dealers to have the brake pump manufacturing codes checked. Vacuum pumps within certain ranges will be replaced with new units. This campaign supersedes recall R1995/081 and includes all the vehicles alrea

Defect

A possibility exists that excessive torque generated when turning on the headlamp switch may induce an internal open circuit and cause the headlamps to go out.

Remedy

Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the headlamp switch with a revised component.
