Ford Motor Company - Misaligned Cruise Control Radar Module
Published: June 14, 2024Recall ID: 24V440000Category: vehiclesCountry: US
Reason for Recall / Hazard
Misalignment of the radar module can result in the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) misclassifying an overhead object as an object in the vehicle's path, causing the vehicle to unexpectedly slow and/or stop. Other safety systems that depend on the radar model (Pre-Collision Assist, Forward Collision Warning, and Auto Emergency Braking) could have diminished or lost function. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.
