The vehicles were built without certain thermal protection components intended to reduce the interior cabin floor and seat attachment temperatures. These missing components may include an underbody heat shield, a thermal insulator patch under the floor mat, or covers for the seat bolts and seat pedestal.
In vehicles without these components, the interior cabin floor and seat attachments could reach elevated temperatures during certain high-load, high ambient temperature driving conditions. Continuous skin contact with elevated temperatures may lead to skin irritation or a minor burn.
There are no reports of accidents or injuries.
What to do
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install the underbody heat shield, thermal insulator patch under the floor mat, seat base covers and seat bolt covers.
Owners may contact Ford customer service at (866) 436-7332. Ford's reference number for this recall is 20S36.
