Recalls: Ford Mk.2 Mondeo
Overview
Manufacturers, or importers, issue recalls for defects or faults which have the potential to cause injury. Generally, manufacturers will inform the original buyers if their vehicle is subject to a recall and of the steps required to remedy the defect or fault. Please note that the recalls below (if any) are for Australian-delivered vehicles only. Furthermore, the number of recalls should not be taken as an indication of a model’s reliability or its safety more generally.
Recalls: Ford Mk.2 Mondeo
- In June 1998, a recall was issued for Ford Mondeo vehicles manufactured from 1 December 1997 to 30 January 1998 and fitted with a passenger airbag. In these vehicles, the passenger airbag could deploy inadvertently due to a build-up of electrostatic charge (PRA 1998/3565).
- In March 1999, a recall was issued for Ford HC Mondeos manufactured on or before to 24 September 1997 and fitted with manually reclining front seat-back mechanisms. In these vehicles, the lower part of the front seatbelts could contact the edge of the backrest recliner mechanism housing and repeated contacts could damage the seatbelt webbing (PRA 1999/3872).
- In October 1999, a recall was issued for HD Mondeo models manufactured from 20 October 1998 to 14 December 1998 (inclusive). In these vehicles, the driver and passenger door latches may not meet specification and could therefore fail (PRA 1999/4118).
- In May 2000, a recall was issued for Ford Mk.2 Mondeo sedan and hatchback models manufactured between 20 January 1996 and 21 August 1998 that were not fitted with ABS. In these vehicles, the pressure-conscious reducing valves (PRCV) which were fitted in the brake pipes could corrode – this could limit hydraulic pressure to prevent rear wheel locking and/or cause fluid to leak (PRA 2000/4350).
