ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Transit vehicles. The heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system's controls, including those for defog and defrost, may become inoperative.
- What it can cause
- Loss of the ability to control the defrost or defog function decreases the driver's visibility under certain driving conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the remote climate control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 11, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S65.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 31,339 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 86% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 56 times before this, most recently in June 2022 as 22V415000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 93 complaints with NHTSA. 24 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 25 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V061000 (structure), 25V887000 (back over prevention), 25V876000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 25V623000 (steering).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on October 20, 2022 as campaign 22V791000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
