What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (improperly welded windshield header) that reduces lateral structural integrity and increases injury risk in side-impact crashes, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2017 Ford Edge vehicles equipped with the optional Panoramic Vista Roof. The recall addresses a defect where the windshield header may have been improperly welded, which reduces the vehicle's lateral structural integrity. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, "Side Impact Protection."

If the vehicle has reduced lateral structural integrity, occupants are at an increased risk of injury in the event of a side-impact crash. The recall began on May 18, 2017.
