Ford Motor Company is recalling 2,403 vehicles, including certain 2016-2018 Focus, 2019 Explorer, and 2024 Explorer models. The engine block heater in these vehicles may crack and develop a coolant leak, which can cause the heater to short circuit when plugged in. To fix the issue, Ford dealers will replace the engine block heater with a new one at no cost to the owner.
An electrical short circuit in the block heater increases the risk of a fire while the vehicle is plugged in. This could lead to property damage or personal injury.
