Issue

On certain Ford police interceptor vehicles equipped with an auxiliary battery installed by Crown North America, a division of Leggett & Platt Automotive Group, as part of emergency vehicle upfit, the wiring connecting the trunk-mounted auxiliary battery to the vehicle electrical system may have been misrouted or improperly retained. Over time, this could allow the wiring to be damaged, potentially resulting in an electrical short which could cause a fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Ford dealers will inspect wiring and repair, reroute and/or secure as necessary.
