Ford coolant pump for the hybrid system may fail resulting in the hybrid electronics overheating.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the hybrid propulsion system. Here is what owners need to know.
The coolant pump for the hybrid system may fail resulting in the hybrid electronics overheating.
If the hybrid electronics system overheats, it may shut down the powertrain, resulting in a stall-like condition, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the original Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump with an improved brushless pump, free of charge.
