What's wrong, in plain English

Certain Ranger trucks have a heating and air conditioning blower motor — the part that powers your heater and AC fan — that can develop an electrical short.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 2. Contact a Ford dealer, or call Ford at 1-866-436-7332. 3. Dealers will inspect the blower motor and replace it if needed, free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V726000.
