Transport Canada Recall - 2017274 - FORD
Brand(s)
Summary
Please see corrective actions section below
Affected products
2011 | FORD | FIESTA
Issue
In certain vehicles registered and operated in areas where road salt is used on the roadways during winter months for extended time periods (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland-Labrador), moisture containing road salt could enter the battery junction box and cause corrosion of the fuse and wiring terminals. This could result in a loss of electrical connectivity in some circuits related to the powertrain, potentially causing the vehicle to stall without the ability to restart. This could also affect the exterior lighting, which would decrease vehicle conspicuity. These conditions could increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect, clean any corrosion off the terminals and replace any defective fuses. Seals will also be installed in the battery junction box to prevent future moisture entry.
