Reason for the recall:
The Battery Monitoring System (BMS) may not be fused, due to an incorrectly routed wire to the vehicle’s battery. This could lead to a pinch condition under the battery metal bracket, resulting in a short circuit and increased risk of fire.
The Ford Ka+ models affected by this recall were manufactured between 8 September 2017 and 15 May 2019.

This notification is purely informative for the vehicle type you have selected. As these deficiencies often relate to specific components (engine type, bodywork, equipment), the recall may not apply to all vehicles of this type. For more detailed information on possible recalls for your vehicle, please get in touch with an authorised workshop (see below at "What the owner should do?").
Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Ford dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
