Recall date: 7 September 2010

Defect

There is the possibility that after extended periods of driving in severe road conditions, the bonnet striker may develop a fatigue fracture.

Hazard

Whilst a secondary safety hook will retain the bonnet in the event of a striker failure, continued use in severe road conditions may cause the secondary safety hook to fail which may result in the bonnet opening while driving, hindering the visibility of the driver.

Remedy

Ford will write to owners of all affected vehicles at their last known address. For further information, contact any authorised Ford Dealer or Ford's Customer Relationship Centre on 1800 503 672
