FORD announced a problem with the S-MAX AND GALAXY affecting a total of 209 vehicles.
It has been identified that, the fuel pipe connector between the engine fuel line and fuel tank may not be totalled secured. This may result in a disconnection of the fuel line, with the possibility of engine cut out, and loss of fuel onto the road surface. Whilst the vehicle is in the dealership, the opportunity will be taken to carry out a slight modification to the alternator to prevent the possibility of a short circuit occurring with other components. Vehicles built from 02/01/2006 to 06/11/2006 are at risk.
Recalled vehicles will have the integrity of the fuel line connector checked. Additionally, the alternator cable will be modified, by removing a portion of sleeving that may be in contact with the end eyelet.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest FORD dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
