Consequence SummaryThese hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.
Corrective SummaryFord is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. dealers will inspect and replace the air filter element. owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or four winds at 937-295-2983.
