REC-000317

active

2014–2018 Ford MONDEO

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Ford Motor Company of Australia Limited

Recall date: 19 December 2019

Defect

Battery acid may leak around the battery negative terminal. If copper sulphate builds up over time, this could provide a low-resistance conductive layer underneath the Battery Monitoring Sensor and may cause the surrounding material to heat up and ignite. This may occur when the vehicle is parked and unattended.

Hazard

If the material surrounding the battery ignites, there is the risk of fire, which could result in injury.
