Post Ford Territory Ranger Recall

Ford Motor Company of Australia Limited — Ford Territory and Ranger
PRA No.
2016/15793
Date published
22 Dec 2016
Product description
Campaign number: 16S19
Target number: 10 520
SZ Territory vehicles built from 19 September 2011 to 5 February 2013
PX Ranger vehicles built from 5 November 2011 to 7 November 2012
What are the defects?
There is a possibility that an intermittent Output Shaft Speed Sensor failure may result in an unintended downshift into first gear.
What are the hazards?
If the failure occurs while the vehicle is in use, it could cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction. This may cause the rear tyres to slide or lock up until the vehicle speed slows, which could result in a loss of vehicle control.
What should consumers do?
Until the Safety Recall Service is completed it is recommended that the vehicle be driven with caution and at moderate speed.
Consumers will be contacted by direct mail. Consumers should contact their local Ford dealer to arrange for an inspection and repair.
For further information, consumers can contact any authorised Ford dealer or Ford's Customer Relationship Centre on 1800 503 672.

Wow...that would be a "surprise" while tooling down the highway at 100kph....

And people were whining about VW fudging emissions figures. This is a truly potentially deadly thing to have as a fault in a car....if I had one of the affected cars it wouldn't even be getting driven one inch until they came and picked it up with a flatbed.

The G6E we used to own was factory fitted from new with the front diff seal leak...then at the first service they removed this rare factory option without my authority...was I annoyed!
