{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2016138","date":"2016-03-31","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Engine","summary":"On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.3 litre GTDI engine and an engine block heater, due to the engine’s orientation, the block heater could be susceptible to overheating. An overheated engine block heater may result in engine coolant leakage, or heat damage to the electrical connector of the block heater. Overheating of the engine block heater may increase the risk of an underhood fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine block heater element with one of a different design, and will inspect the block heater's electrical cord, and replace if required.  In the interim, owners are advised to stop using their block heater until the campaign is completed. Note: This risk only exists when the block heater is plugged in and the vehicle is parked.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"16S14","part_number":null,"units":3993,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Moteur","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules munis d'un moteur GTDi de 2,3 L et d'un chauffe-moteur, le chauffe-moteur pourrait être susceptible de surchauffer en raison de l'orientation du moteur. Une surchauffe du chauffe-moteur pourrait provoquer une fuite de liquide de refroidissement du moteur, ou des dommages causés par la chaleur au connecteur électrique du chauffe-moteur. Une surchauffe du chauffe-moteur pourrait augmenter les risques de déclenchement d'un feu sous le capot pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l'élément du chauffe-moteur par un élément de conception différente, ainsi qu'inspecter le cordon électrique du chauffe-moteur et le remplacer au besoin. Entre-temps, les propriétaires doivent cesser d'utiliser leur chauffe-moteur jusqu'à ce que la campagne soit terminée. Remarque : Le risque de surchauffe existe seulement lorsque le chauffe-moteur est branché et que le véhicule est immobilisé."},"vehicles":[{"year":2016,"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","vehicle_id":"2016_ford_explorer","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2015,"make":"LINCOLN","model":"MKC","vehicle_id":"2015_lincoln_mkc","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2016,"make":"LINCOLN","model":"MKC","vehicle_id":"2016_lincoln_mkc","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2016138"}
