Ford's 19N05 recall, introduced on June 24, 2019, is a single service initiative that will remain in effect until the end of July 2022. There is no mileage restriction, so owners of 2011 to 2017 Ford Explorers manufactured at the Chicago plant are eligible for the bulletin. The recall focuses on enhancing exhaust and carbon monoxide protection within the cabin. While Ford states that this is not a safety concern, they have taken extra steps to address driver worries. They will reprogram the climate control module and replace the lift gate drain valves. These adjustments aim to increase fresh air circulation in the Explorer's cabin during rapid acceleration, addressing driver complaints of exhaust odors. This recall is considered minor and is not mandatory, but it is advisable for affected owners to consider having it done.
In 2019, there was a recall issued for Ford Explorers made between 2011 and 2017. The purpose of the recall was to reprogram the air intake system in order to resolve potential issues with carbon monoxide.
