## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 18S32 \(Transport Canada recall no. 2018\-577\) may not have been done correctly. As a result, a another repair is required.

On certain vehicles, the canister purge valve \(CPV\) may stick open and cause the fuel tank to deform. If this happens, the fuel gauge could read incorrectly and there could be a loss of power to the wheels.

Note: This recall is an expansion of Transport Canada recall no. 2018\-577. Vehicles repaired under that recall also require this repair.

Safety Risk:

A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the powertrain control module \(PCM\) software and, if necessary, replace the CPV. If the CPV is replaced, the dealer will inspect and replace the carbon canister, fuel tank and fuel delivery module, as necessary. In the interim, owners are advised to maintain at least 1/2 tank of fuel until the recall repair is performed.
