  "excerpt": "Ford Taurus, Flex, Mkt, Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer). Published by Transport Canada as 2016639 on 19 December 2016. System: Powertrain. What the notice says On certain vehicles, the turbocharger oil supply tube may have been improperly brazed. This could allow engine oil to leak and come in contact with hot surfaces, increasing the risk of fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect oil supply lines and replace as required. Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at Transport Canada , or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on. Transport Canada carries this recall as 2016639 , dated 19 December 2016. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 16V925 , dated 22 December 2016. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, 16S46 . Number 2016639 16V925 Dated 19 December 2016 22 December 2016 Register Transport Canada NHTSA Make Ford The two registers are 3 days apart : the Canadian entry is dated first, the American one second. These are the dates each register records against its own notice. They are separate administrative acts in two countries, recorded by two authorities under two sets of rules, and this page does not claim that one caused the other or that owners in either country were contacted on those ",
