Recalls: Ford Mk.5 Mondeo
2014-15 Ford Mondeo: Adaptive LED headlights could switch off
In October 2016, a recall was issued for Ford Mondeo vehicles that were manufactured from 16 October 2014 to 22 December 2015. Due to a software error in the Headlight Control Module (HCM), vehicles fitted with Adaptive LED headlights could experience a condition that caused the headlights to switch off. If this occurred, the ignition would have to be cycled off/on to enable the headlamps to be re-activated (PRA 2016/15710).
2014-17 Ford MD Mondeo: Takata airbag recall
In October 2018, recall campaign 17S32 was issued for Ford MD Mondeo vehicles that were manufactured from 6 October 2014 to 21 March 2017. The driver’s side front airbag inflator in these vehicles contained propellant wafers that could absorb moisture over time. In the event of deployment, excessive internal pressure could cause the metal airbag inflator housing to explode or rupture such that metal fragments would be projected through the airbag and into the cabin – these fragments posed a risk of serious injury and fatality. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/17077.
2014-18 Ford Mondeo: battery acid leak and fire hazard
In December 2019, recall campaign 19S33 was issued for Ford Mondeo vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 6 October 2014 to 6 September 2018. In these vehicles, battery acid could leak around the negative battery terminal. If copper sulphate accumulated over time, this could provide a low-resistance conductive layer beneath the Battery Monitoring Sensor and cause the surround material to heat up and ignite – this could occur when the vehicle was parked and unattended. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17995.
