The company says in government documents posted Friday that water and contaminants can get into the heater cable and cause corrosion. That can cause electrical shorts and possible fires.
Ford has received three reports of fires in Canada, but none in the U.S. There have been no reports of injuries. Another 410,289 trucks were recalled in the U.S.
