Description of the problem | Ford motor company announced a recall regarding leaking coolant, resultant cracked cylinder heads, and resultant underhood/vehicle fires, on march 27, 2017. The manufacturer's and nhtsa's recall number is 17s09. This is a critical safety issue, as vehicle fire's are likely to result in injury and or death. As of august 16, 2017, ford has not made available any remedy whatsoever for this issue; ford has failed to timely correct the problem. Moreover, ford's proposed remedy, which again is not available 5 months after its identifying the issue, is a coolant level sensor, which does not address at all the underlying issue of leaking coolant, and thus does nothing to prevent the resultant vehicle/underhood fires. |
