The affected vehicles were manufactured from Jan. 19, 2012, through June 25, 2013, (check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb) and are not equipped with a panoramic sunroof. During testing, it “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,'” NHTSA said in a statement. This increases the risk of an injury during a crash. “Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this non-compliance,” the automaker said in a statement.

Ford will notify owners beginning Aug. 19, and dealers will install energy absorbers between the headliner and the roof for free. Owners can call Ford at 866-436-7332 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
