What the notice says today
The issue
Under certain conditions, a problem with the rear audio control module (RACM) could cause the front passenger seat to unexpectedly move forward or backward, or tilt and recline on its own. If this happens, the seat may continue moving even if there's an obstruction.
The safety risk
A seat that doesn't stop moving could increase the risk of injury.
What will be done
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the RACM and accessory protocol image module (APIM) software to disable the chauffeur mode function.
Version française (Transport Canada)
Problème : Dans certaines conditions, un problème avec le module de commande audio arrière (RACM) pourrait faire en sorte que le siège du passager avant s'avance ou recule soudainement, ou qu'il s'incline et s'abaisse tout seul. Si cela se produisait, le siège pourrait continuer à bouger même s'il y a un obstacle. Risques pour la sécurité : Un siège qui ne s'arrête pas de bouger pourrait augmenter le risque de blessure. Mesures correctives : Ford doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire pour mettre à jour le logiciel du RACM et du module d'image du protocole des accessoires (APIM) afin de désactiver la fonction « mode chauffeur ».
