CarRecallWatch- Component
- VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
- Problem
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles. The second row window control modules may intermittently stop the movement of the power window. If something, such as a finger, is pinched by the window glass, the stopped window control module may prevent the window from automatically reversing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."
- Risk
- If the window does not automatically reverse when an obstruction is found, it can increase the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the second row window electronic control modules, and replace them as necessary based on their build date codes, free of charge. The recall began on February 16, 2018. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 18C01.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
The second-row power window control modules can intermittently stop working, so the window may not automatically reverse when it meets an obstruction such as a finger. This means the vehicle does not meet federal safety requirements for power-operated windows, and a child or passenger caught in a closing window could be injured.
The remedy is free. Dealers will inspect the second-row window electronic control modules and replace them as needed based on their build date codes. Owners can also contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (Ford recall number 18C01). Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is included.
