Trucks and SUVs are part of the latest round of vehicle recalls in Canada.<\/p>\n
Two separate Ford recalls are listed on Transport Canada\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
Certain 2017 F-150 Ford trucks are being recalled for the second time.<\/p>\n
Recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 17C01 (Transport Canada recall no. 2017-040) may not have been done correctly, according to a June 19 notice on Transport Canada\u2019s website. As a result, a second repair is required.<\/p>\n
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the instrument panel cluster screen not to display when the vehicle is started.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result, you may not be able to see certain information about the vehicle, including the gear selection, speedometer, warning lights and malfunction tell-tales,\u201d the notice reads. \u201cWarnings, gauges, gear selection and tell-tale indicators that don\u2019t display could increase the risk of a crash.\u201d<\/p>\n
A total of 240 vehicles are impacted.<\/p>\n
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to update the instrument panel cluster software.<\/p>\n
In a separate recall, Ford Expedition SUVs from 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 may have issues with the chrome plating on the centre console.<\/p>\n
On certain vehicles, the chrome plating could bubble and peel. If this happens, sharp edges can be created, the recall states.<\/p>\n
\u201cExposed sharp edges can increase the risk of injury,\u201d the recall states.<\/p>\n
A total of 16,208 vehicles are impacted.<\/p>\n
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise owners to take their vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the centre console.<\/p>\n
