An official Health Canada notice concerns Ford. Issue: on one vehicle, the recall repairs completed by a ford dealer during recall 25s26 (transport canada recall no. 2025-139) may not have been done correctly. As a result, another repair is required. On certain vehicles, the powertrain control module (pcm) and body control module (bcm) may not detect a change in the charge level of the 12 v battery. As a result, the engine could stall. This could also cause the engine not to restart after a start-stop event and the hazard lights may not work. Safety risk: a sudden loss of power to the wheels or a vehicle that doesn't restart after a start-stop event could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, hazard lamps that don't work could make the vehicle less visible and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: ford will notify the owner by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to update the pcm and bcm software. Published 2026-01-15.
