Dealers will remove the B-pillar insulation material and wiring harness tape and install heat resistant tape free of charge to resolve the concern.
Recall repairs on your Ford must be performed by a Ford dealership. Ford will notify known owners of affected vehicles (a timetable of this notification is not available as of the time of this writing). If you do not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local Ford dealerships. They will also check for any other incomplete recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with. The Ford recall number is 18S27.
