Around the 1st of February 2026 the weather had turned cold around 6 degrees Fahrenheit and I had just had my vehicle inspected in January so I know everything was fine then. My wife and I had driven to her office about 2 miles from our home and I of course had the heat on and defrost on. We went into the office to clean because that a weekly job for us usually under an hour. When we came out my windshield was cracked on the passenger side starting at the bottom going straight up about 8” long. The weather stayed cold and a few days later it cracked more and then more and then more. It’s moving over towards the drivers side horizontally about eye level. There is no rock strike where the crack started, it seems to me that when heat was applied to the windshield something expanded or contracted or flexed while we were inside the office because it was cracked when we came out to leave. I haven’t taken it to a Ford dealership to have it looked at or filed an insurance claim. It’s been about two months now I need to get it fixed before the whole windshield collapses into my lap. I realize the safety issue with a cracked windshield and it could cause me and others on the road to get hurt. I’ve only driven it to doctors appointments and to pick up medication at the store a mile away. I’ve never had a vehicle that has had the windshield crack due to clod weather when it was heated up and then cooled back down. Either the glass was manufactured incorrectly or it was installed incorrectly or the framing expanded or contracted causing it to bind the glass. If you could please look into this for me it would be greatly appreciated.

- Inadvertent airbag deployment

ODI opened this investigation based on reports of inadvertent airbag deployment.Data provided by Ford indicated that the airbag clockspring jumper wire, which is situated inside the steering wheel assembly, was installed in a manner that would allow it to rub (abrade) against a sharp metal edge on the nearby horn plate.Because the horn plate is electrically grounded the abrasion of an airbag wire on the sharp edge could cause a short circuit condition.As a result the airbag light may illuminate and/or the airbag may inadvertently deploy.Inadvertent deployments are most likely to occur during the airbag system's self-diagnostic test that initiates when the ignition switch is turned on.Ford modified the vehicle design in late January 2006 adding a protective tape over the sharp metal edge of the horn plate.Ford made additional design changes on MY 2007 vehicles to the horn plate, the clockspring jumper, and the connector layouts to further address this issue.ODI identified 318 deployment incidents with 121 alleged injury reports from subject vehicles.All but one of the incident and injury reports occurred in vehicles built before the January 2006 modification.In addition, there was one incident and alleged injury reported in the MY 2006 Mark LT vehicles that share the same design. In letters dated February 21 and April 11, 2011, Ford announced a recall of all of the approximately 1.3 million MY 2004-2006 F-150 vehicles built prior to January 24, 2006, the date the initial vehicle modification was made.In addition, approximately 14,000 MY 2006 Mark LT vehicles built prior to January 24, 2006 will also be recalled.Vehicles built after that date, which contain the modification, are not within the recall scope.Accordingly the investigation is closed.
- Loss of brake power-assist
By letter dated may 5, 2008, ford motor company (ford) notified the agency that it will conduct a safety recall (nhtsa recall number 08v-208) to address a manufacturing defect in approximately 605,684 model year (my) 2005 and 2006 ford F-150 and lincoln mark LT vehicles originally equipped with the 5.4L displacement…
By letter dated may 5, 2008, ford motor company (ford) notified the agency that it will conduct a safety recall (nhtsa recall number 08v-208) to address a manufacturing defect in approximately 605,684 model year (my) 2005 and 2006 ford F-150 and lincoln mark LT vehicles originally equipped with the 5.4L displacement, 3-valve per cylinder, V-8 engine.the recalled vehicles were built from july 18, 2004 through may 31, 2006 at the dearborn truck plant; from may 4, 2004 through may 31, 2006 at the kansas city assembly plant; and from april 19, 2004 through may 31, 2006 at the norfolk truck plant.the vehicles were manufactured with the same defective brake booster vacuum supply hose assembly unique to the 5.4L V-8 engine.ford F-150 vehicles equipped with optionally available 4.2L V6 and 4.6L V-8 engines are not included in this recall action because they utilize a different, one-piece brake booster vacuum supply hose assembly that does not exhibit an apparent defect trend. The recalled vehicles utilize a two-piece brake booster vacuum supply hose assembly comprised of a standpipe assembly and vacuum hose.the standpipe assembly attaches to a fitting on the engine air intake manifold utilizing a flexible rubber hose and plastic elbow.the vacuum hose attaches to the opposite end of the standpipe assembly and connects to a check valve fitting at the brake booster assembly.according to ford, the portion of the brake booster vacuum supply hose assembly attached to the intake manifold may swell over time and lose retention force, which may allow the hose to become detached from the intake manifold.should the brake booster vacuum supply hose assembly be disrupted, application of the brake pedal may deplete the vacuum reserve and consequently result in loss of brake power-assist. To correct the safety defect, ford will install an improved design brake booster vacuum supply hose assembly that utilizes a hose clamp at the intake manifold attachment. This remedy will be provided free of charge for all recalled vehicles.later production ford F-150 and lincoln mark LT vehicles built after may 2006 were manufactured with a hose clamp at the brake booster vacuum supply hose/intake manifold attachment and are not affected. To date, the office of defects investigation (odi) IS aware of 324 non-duplicative complaints and 14 non-injury crashes related to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles.in addition, odi IS aware of 4,465 subject vehicles that experienced one or more warranty claims to repair or replace the subject brake booster vacuum supply hose assembly. The action taken by ford IS sufficient to resolve the issues raised by this investigation.accordingly, this investigation IS closed.

- 10143079Various vehicles equipped with a 4.6L, 5.4L, 6.8L modular 3 valve engine built on or before 8-Jan-2016 may exhibit symptoms that may include upper end engine noise, rough running, misfire and/or engine damage. If diagnosis leads to only camshaft/camshaft roller follower(s) requiring replacement, replace all of the camshaft roller followers on both banks/cylinder heads with part number 3L3Z-6564-A, not just the faulty roller follower(s). When replacing the camshaft roller followers, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-01.
- 10109070The Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual has been revised for diagnosing electronic throttle bodies (ETBs). The ETC_ACT and ETC_DSD PIDs should not used to diagnose possible ETB concerns. The IDS has a limited refresh rate when reading these PIDs and cannot display quickly enough to validate a concern. The PCM automatically monitors these inputs more accurately and will set diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) when appropriate. Using these PIDs for diagnostics will lead to inaccurate results and improper ETB replacements. If a concern is intermittent and no DTCs are present, refer to historical DTCs and the PC/ED, Section 3 No DTCs Present Index chart for further information.
