Each campaign in detail

Recall: battery monitoring sensor (fire risk)
Manufacturer recall
Ford recalled around 322,000 vehicles in Europe (Mondeo, S-Max, Galaxy): copper sulphate can build up under the battery monitoring sensor and cause heating, even when the car is stationary. The affected Mondeos were built between February 2014 and February 2019; the inspection and repair are free.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
