Th 4+ year Battery saga has come to an end
(a second) recall (25S02) instructed dealers to replace the existing 12-volt battery with an AGM unit, a move that came after the automaker determined that the original battery – sourced from a supplier called Camel – contained internal manufacturing defects that could cause a loss of power.
Customers with vehicles equipped with a different 12-volt battery – from a supplier called Clarios – weren’t experiencing these types of issues when the first recall (24S24) rolled out either, but Ford later determined that those units were exhibiting the same failure mode as batteries from Camel.
In the meantime, Ford is still facing a lawsuit claiming that its fix for this particular issue is “wholly inadequate,” devalues the vehicles, and causes a “cognizable risk.”
