The short version

Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the forward collision avoidance adaptive cruise control. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The cruise control radar module was misaligned during production.

WHY IT MATTERS

Misalignment of the radar module can result in the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) misclassifying an overhead object as an object in the vehicle's path, causing the vehicle to unexpectedly slow and/or stop. Other safety systems that depend on the radar model (Pre-Collision Assist, Forward Collision Warning, and Auto Emergency Braking) could have diminished or lost function.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will adjust the angle of the radar module, free of charge.
