## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2021 E\-350 and E\-450 vehicles.  The underside of the engine cover may have mispositioned insulation, allowing the cover to get excessively hot.


## What can happen

Direct and continuous contact with certain areas of engine cover surface in the passenger compartment may increase the risk of injury or burns to the skin of the driver or front seat passenger.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the engine cover for gaps between the rubber seal and the insulation. If gaps are present, the dealer will install engine cover insulation patches in the right hand and left hand inner lower corners of the engine cover. The dealer will also update the powertrain calibration for heat management under elevated idle conditions should a vehicle be equipped with SEIC or BCP, free of charge.  The recall began February 15, 2021.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 20S73.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
