Missing parts during assembly resulted in wire melting onto muffler which subsequently resulted in error messages relating to the parking brake and disabling of the adaptive cruise control and bluecruise while driving. The failure to install deflectors, a part that is just inside the wheel well to keep wires from touching the muffler, is an ongoing issue which is discussed in a lincoln forum since april 2022. I have found comments relating to these missing deflectors on fords since 2019. [xxx] the missing parts are mostly, but not all, associated with having a towing package installed. If the wire had melted all the way through then a catastrophic event might have happened. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6)
