- Campaign:
- 14V393000 on 07/01/2014
- Component:
- Power train:axle assembly:axle shaft
- Manufactured:
- 09/11/2011 - 11/29/2013
- Affected:
- 83,250
- Defect:
- Ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 ford edge and lincoln mkx vehicles manufactured september 2, 2010, to november 30, 2013; 2013-2014 ford taurus and lincoln mks vehicles manufactured august 25, 2011, to november 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 ford flex and lincoln mkt vehicles manufactured september 12, 2011, to november 30, 2013. in the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning.
- Consequence:
- If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
- Correction:
- Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. if it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. the recall began on august 4, 2014. owners may contact ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. ford's number for this recall is 14s10.
- Notes:
- 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.safercar.gov.

- Component:
- Seats
- Manufactured:
- 02/28/2014 - 05/30/2014
- Affected:
- 113,418
- Defect:
- Ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2014 ford f-150 and flex vehicles manufactured march 1, 2014, to may 31, 2014. the affected vehicles were manufactured with a reduced clearance between the seat frame and the seat track assembly. this can cause the occupant classification system (ocs) to inaccurately register passenger weight and improperly suppress the passenger front airbag when the passenger seat is occupied by an adult passenger. thus, these vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 208, "occupant crash protection."
- Consequence:
- Improper suppression of the passenger airbag increases the risk of an injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger airbag.
- Correction:
- Ford will notify owners, and dealers will widen the gap between the seat frame and seat track assembly and recalibrate the seat ocs, free of charge. the recall began november 25, 2014. owners may contact ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. ford's number for this recall is 14c10.

- Consequence:
- A loss of power to the fuel pump will cause the engine to stall or prevent the vehicle from starting, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel pem part number and replace the fuel pem, as necessary, free of charge. the recall began on december 1, 2016. owners may contact ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. ford's number for this recall is 16s31.
