Water Leaks prevent 2015 Ford Edge from Selling

Ford has to stop-sale its latest 2015 Ford Edge.

The cars under consideration fall under the risk of water seeping in through a sheetmetal juncture in the front pillar. It is situated behind the bonnet hinge. In case this happens, water will fill the interior of the car by the lower A-pillar, right behind the lower dashboard trim panels. The recall touches 2015 Edge cars which were produced till April 28 of this year.

Technicians at the automaker’s service started looking for water around the dashboard, floor pan sheetmetal, console insulation, the whole lower A-pillar area and damp carpets. This kind of inspection will last nearly half a day. Its results should suggest the next step.

In case there will be no dampness or water found, the company’s dealer should apply a urethane sealer to the seams which have been affected. This will be done in order to be safe of any leaks. If leaks will be found, there will be done an assessment. It will last during 3 days. An inspection of any affected components will be made by the dealer. Such components will be replaced. Then the car will be dried, sealed, and checked. Only after that it will be provided by the producer for the 3-day stretch.

In case the damage is very serious, the car might be bought back by Ford. Customers with such vehicles will have an opportunity to contact dealers and arrange an appointment.
