Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Jul 24, 2019
256 units potentially affected
The defect: Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain 2016-2019 Ford Explorer BraunAbility MXV wheelchair accessible conversion vehicles. The switch-activated electric solenoid used to release the rear seat base latches from the floor-mounted strikers may unintentionally switch and stay on. In this case, the wires may overheat, causing the wiring insulation to melt, possibly resulting in an electrical short circuit.
The risk: An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
The remedy: Braun has notified owners, and dealers will add timer components to the solenoid circuits, free of charge. The recall began August 7, 2019. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
