Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 4,632 of its 2020 Ford Expedition and 2020 Lincoln Navigator vehicles. A defect in the battery junction box can cause a short circuit, which may lead to a fire in the engine compartment while the vehicle is being driven or even when it is parked. Dealers will inspect and replace the battery junction box, remove a ground wire, and install an auxiliary electrical box with a wire jumper on certain models free of charge.
A short circuit in the battery junction box can cause an engine fire, which significantly increases the risk of injury to occupants or bystanders. Because the fire can occur while the vehicle is parked, owners are advised to park outdoors and away from structures until the repair is completed.
