Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 93V193000 by Ford Motor Company. Includes 16,000 affected units, INTERIOR SYSTEMS:TRACKS AND ANCHORS:FRONT SEAT:POW, component: SEATS, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

An unused power seat harness connector is positioned on the rubber floor mat under the seat. If the vehicle is operated in cold weather in areas that have large amounts of salt used for snow and ice control, a puddle of saltwater can accumulate on the rubber floor mats, repeatedly wetting the connector. This will result in corrosion of the connector, causing a current to flow between the terminals without tripping the circuit breaker.

Corrective Action

Dealers will remove the unused connector and install a sealed heat shrink cap over the affected wires.
