What the ministry says is wrong

ラジエター及びエアコンコンデンサの冷却用電動クーリングファンにおいて、モーター内部の電気接点に摩耗粉が蓄積され、クーリングファンが回転しなくなるおそれがある。クーリングファンが回転しないまま使用を続けると、冷却水の水温が上昇することにより、警告灯(水温、エンジンチェックランプ)が点灯してエンジンが緊急制限モードに入り出力が低下する。また、冷媒が十分に冷却されないことにより、エアコン性能が低下する。

What is to be done about it

エンジン制御コンピュータのプログラムを変更する。(高速回転による清掃機能追加) ただし、クーリングファンが回転しない場合には、クーリングファンを周辺部品ごと対策品に交換する。

The two passages above are quoted in Japanese because that is the language the ministry published them in. This site keeps the wording a register had when it was read, and does not translate a safety notice.

Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website (出典:国土交通省ウェブサイト), used under the Public Data License 1.0. This site gathered the record, grouped it by notification number and set it in English around the ministry's own words; the notice itself is unaltered. CarsMultiverse is not the ministry and not a safety authority. To act on this notice, use the ministry's own document.

The Japanese register on this site

フォード elsewhere in this register

フォード is named on 125 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 冷却装置

171 notices in this register name 冷却装置. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what MLIT published in the recall notices it publishes, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /japan, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Japanese recalls on a Ford: 125 in the register, and 311 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2012.
