When driven over long grass affected vehicles may accumulate vegetation under the vehicle near the exhaust system.

Learn MoreFord will write to owners of all affected vehicles and advise that parts are now available to modify affected vehicles. Owners should contact their nearest Ford dealership to arrange for the installation of an exhaust heat shield on all affected vehicles. In addition, an underbody shield must be fitted on 4WD and 2WD vehicles with increased ride height (HiRider) to prevent grass accumulation.
