Ford will notify owners and dealers will have the affected control modules updated free of charge. The safety recall began on november 1, 2010. Owners may contact ford at 1-866-436-7332.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
