Ford has issued a recall affecting over 2,500 cars in Australia, spanning its 2019-2025 Ranger, Everest, and F-150 models. The recall stems from a potential issue with the ARB Solis lights wiring harness, which could lead to a vehicle fire. The fault is serious enough to warrant immediate action, and if you’re one of the affected vehicle owners, here’s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem arises from moisture potentially entering the ARB Solis lights wiring harness, which could cause corrosion. If this corrosion occurs, it could lead to excessive heat buildup, increasing the risk of a fire while driving or even when the vehicle is parked. To put it simply, it\u2019s not a situation you want to ignore. The recall has already affected 2,696 vehicles in Australia, and although this may sound like a lot, it\u2019s important to note that only specific models with the ARB Solis lights are impacted, explains Drive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ford is taking this seriously and has advised owners to park their cars in open spaces away from flammable materials until the issue is fixed. This will help mitigate the risk while they work on addressing the defect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
