The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the body roof and pillars. Here is what owners need to know.
These vehicles may have an improperly welded windshield header, reducing the vehicle's lateral structural integrity. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, "Side Impact Protection."
If the vehicle has reduced lateral structural integrity, the occupants are at an increased risk of injury in the event of a side-impact crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will repair the windshield header, free of charge.
