Recall Notice 14S17
- Thread starter svt 500
- Start date
I haven't gotten a hard copy but it shows up on syncmyride that a recall needs to be done.
The letters should start arriving now, guys. You can also check for recalls on your vehicle here. If your vehicle is part of any recall, be sure to make an appointment with your dealer a soon as possible.

Just got mine today.
Not sure if I will get it done. Got mine yesterday.
Do we know if this is just the splice or is it replacing the whole harness? When this was a TSB, I had a couple symptoms with surging idle every now and then, but never a stall and never tripped a code. And since I have installed the DP and "stage 3" tune, it is even better. Rarely do I even had a surging idle.

I would assume as a recall it would be a new harness
Unfortunately, for me this recall comes a year too late. I had a new 13 ST and was plagued with stalling issues the dealer couldn't fix.
The good part is that it led me to a great deal on a 13 GT, though I must say the ST was fun to drive (when it ran).

I would hope, but the notice doesn't say unless I missed it.
FordService....do you know? Is this a new harness or just the splices like the TSB?
It is just replacing 2 splices in the original harness unfortunately.
Yeah screw that. My car isn't having the issues and no way I let ford hack up the harness. I would do it myself if it needed it.
If anything I would confirm a replacement harness has the added length in it without the splice and buy that.

Hi guys,
As per the recall notice:
What will Ford and
your dealer do?
Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to repair the engine wiring
harness free of charge (parts and labor).
I don’t see where they will replace the harness. Please speak to your Ford Dealer for more info.
Deysha
Yeah, screw that. If I ever have a problem I will look into replacing the harness myself.
It is a safety recall, TRBO VNM. I recommend you bring it in and get it taken care of as soon as possible.

Desha Is it possible to get the exact information on the recall to 100% find out if the recall is patch work or of they actually replace the harness with new that fixes that issue. I would appreciate it if you could get that info for all of us. I know most guys are not comfortable including myself with patch work as it normally cause issues when it goes out side of its normal warranty period.
Thank you
My post above has the correct info directly from the recall notice sent to you guys, me32. As for the parts, service hours, and procedure, it’s only available to your dealer.

They cut the problem splices and re-solder the joints. The full instructional PDF is up on http://www.focusst.org/forum somewhere.
It's a safety recall because some cars experience stalling. Mine hasn't once experienced this.
Also, part of the tsb when that came out was tripping codes. Mine hasn't done this either.
In addition, this is only when coming to a stop. Not when cruising around or even WOT. I know how to start a car if it stalls when rolling or coming to a stop. I am not worried about it for me or others on the road. My rpm's rarely even fluctuate and when they have, the car never was close to stalling.
Like I said, I will look into replacing the harness. I would rather splice my harness myself instead of the dealer. I think I am pretty capable of doing that. I appreciate your concern though.
This is to prevent it from happening, TRBO VNM. However, I understand where you’re coming from.

Assuming the tech you get knows how to solder, and you don't end up with cold joint that is. Mine has been problem free also, I'm thinking I may also skip this one for the same reasons Jason posted. I do need to get mine in for the engine mount TSB though. Then have them drive it next door to get the deer strike damage fixed.
