Ford is recalling 196,489 Kuga PHEV vehicles manufactured between 2019 and 2023 to authorized workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that a short circuit in the high-voltage battery can lead to a vehicle fire.
In an authorized workshop, dealers update the battery control module software and enable the module to recognise battery cell anomalies. If an anomaly is detected, the high-voltage battery pack will be replaced.
The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “14793R“. The internal manufacturer code is “24S79“.
