“My ac blower went out, and we took it to a shop. The "pigtail" that connects looks to have been melted. I see there is a recall for this for other 2015 expedition, but 0 recalls for my Vin. NOT sure if I can reach out to ford for this since it's not included in the recall.”

“There was an open recall on our 2015 Ford Expedition for Blower Motor overheating. After fix a week later we took back in as the issue of no fan was still present and told no longer an open recall as it was marked complete, and would need to pay to have resistor and wiring harness for the blower motor replaced.”

“Ticket 11535782. Cella Ford repairs for recall has made issue worse. Climate center blower fan will not turn off at all and blows cold 90% of the time. No way at all to defrost/defog windshield or stop air from blowing. Just waiting now for the fire to happen with this vehicle”

“The contact owns a 2015 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that the doors rocker panels were corroded. Additionally, the contact stated that the front blower motor was intermittently inoperable. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V648000 (Visibility, Electrical System). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the recall repair was performed; however, the failure persisted due to the blower motor resistor connection failure at the wiring harness plug. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that he would be charged a repair fee because the additional repair was not included in the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000. The VIN was unavailable.”
