Ford Motor Company is recalling 61 units of the 2024 Ford Explorer equipped with 3.3L Hybrid engines. The 12-volt battery cable in these vehicles can rub against the starter generator, causing the cable insulation to wear down and short circuit. This defect requires a dealer visit to install a protective tie strap to prevent contact between cables, which Ford will provide free of charge.
If the battery cable insulation wears through, a short circuit can occur, which significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
