Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Occupants Promptly

The 2014 Ford C-Max Hybrid recall concerns are important because a faulty door latch may allow a door to open while driving, while a charging cord without the required thermistor may overheat and create a fire risk. Restraint control module problems may affect airbags or seat belt pretensioners during a crash, and delayed side-curtain airbag deployment can increase injury risk in certain rollovers. An incorrectly assembled steering gear may impair steering or cause loss of control. A weak seatback weld may allow the seatback to loosen or lean. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved, so arrange a VIN check and recall inspection as soon as possible.
