What is being recalled
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain model year 2013 C-Max hybrid vehicles, without panoramic roofs, that were manufactured January 19, 2012, through June 25, 2013. During vehicle testing, the vehicle exceeded a head injury criteria requirement set by the standard. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."
Why it is dangerous
In the event of a crash, an occupant could be at an increased risk of an injury.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install energy absorbers between the headliner and the roof. The recall began on August 5, 2013. Owners may contact the Ford customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's recall number is 13C02.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 13V-303 when calling a dealer.
