Owners of this vehicle were written to on 4 September 2026. The remedy was reworded on 9 September 2026, 5 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 9 September 2026, 06:04 UTC and 9 September 2026, 12:05 UTC, the text of the remedy (what the manufacturer will do about it) on campaign 26V091, filed by Ford, was replaced. The authority publishes one version at a time. This is both.

If this is your car
The fix itself was reworded. If this recall has already been carried out on your vehicle, it was carried out to whatever the instruction said at the time. If it has not been, book it - the repair is free either way.
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 9 September 2026 no longer matched the one we took on 9 September 2026. Nothing here is an interpretation of what the manufacturer meant; it is the difference between two files.
