The hazard
Issue: On certain vehicles, the insulation for the engine cover may not be positioned correctly. As a result, some surfaces inside the vehicle could get hot while the engine is running. Safety Risk: If a person touches a hot surface, there could be a risk of a burn injury. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the engine cover for gaps between the rubber seal and the insulation. If gaps are found, the dealer will install engine cover insulation patches, as necessary. The dealer will also update the powertrain software on vehicles equipped with Stationary Elevated Idle Control (SEIC) or Battery Charge Protect (BCP).
