## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the engine block heater could leak coolant. If this happens, the block heater could short circuit when it's plugged in.

Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L engine.

Safety Risk:

A short circuit can create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions:

To reduce the safety risk, Ford advises you not to use the engine block heater until the recall repairs have been completed. Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the block heater. Alternatively, owners can choose to have the dealership permanently disable the engine block heater.
