What's wrong, in plain English

In vehicles with a key-start ignition, the body control module may sometimes fail to pick up signals from the rear tire pressure sensors or the remote key fob. If tire pressure gets low, the system may not give an adequate warning.

What you should do

1. Check if your VIN is affected at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Ford dealer at 1-866-436-7332 — bring both key fobs, since two are needed to complete the repair.
3. The repair is free.

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 20V635000.
