Description
Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 80V141000 by Ford Motor Company. Includes 600 affected units, STRUCTURE:BUMPER ASSEMBLY:ATTACHMENTS/SUPPORT BARS, component: STRUCTURE, and more from the Department of Transportation.
Defect Summary
The involved vehicles were produced without surlyn-coated foil insulators between the isolator and bracket assemblies and the rear bumper reinforcements. An epoxy coating was also omitted from the bracket assemblies. When exposed to the corrosive action of road salt, the aluminum rear bumper reinforcement could experience galvonic corrosion at the attachment surfaces. This would reduce the strength of the reinforcements and could result in bumper separation.
Corrective Action
Dealer will inspect rear bumper attachment components and replace them without charge, if necessary.
