Ford in the affected vehicles, there is no audible chime when the vehicle is operational and the driver's door is opened.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the electrical anti-theft devices. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected vehicles, there is no audible chime when the vehicle is operational and the driver's door is opened. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
Without an audible door chime, a vehicle owner may open the door and exit the vehicle without being reminded that the vehicle is still operational, leaving the vehicle susceptible to theft.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the door chime, free of charge.
