## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the engine block heater could overheat when the block heater is plugged in.

Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 1.5 L or 2.0 L engine and a factory\-installed block heater.

Safety Risk:

An engine block heater and/or wiring that overheats or melts could create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions:

To reduce the safety risk, Ford advises you not to plug in the engine block heater until the recall repairs have been completed. Ford will notify owners by mail. You can choose to have the dealer remove the block heater, or once the final repair is available, Ford will send you another notice to advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the block heater element. The dealer will also inspect and, if necessary, replace the block heater electrical cord.
