Owners of this vehicle were written to on 15 May 2025. The consequence was reworded on 15 September 2026, 488 days later, so the letter described the earlier version. Both versions are shown on this page. Back to the campaign.
This is an independent copy of the official notice, kept so you can see what changed. CarsMultiverse is not a safety authority: to act on this recall, use the authority’s own version at NHTSA, or the official register for your country (linked at the foot of this page).
Between 14 September 2026, 19:03 UTC and 15 September 2026, 21:16 UTC, the text of the consequence (what can happen if it is not fixed) on campaign 23V440, filed by Ford, was replaced. The authority publishes one version at a time. This is both.

If this is your car
The description of what can happen if it is not fixed was reworded. Whether the new wording reads as more or less serious than the old one is a judgement for you; both versions are above.
A notice being edited is not by itself evidence of anything. Wording is corrected for ordinary reasons as well as significant ones, and we record that it changed without claiming to know why.

How we know
We re-read the wording of every campaign we hold on a rolling cycle and keep a dated copy with a SHA-256 of the text. This page exists because the hash we recorded on 14 September 2026 no longer matched the one we took on 15 September 2026. Nothing here is an interpretation of what the manufacturer meant; it is the difference between two files.
