CN15-18321-AA 1854991 Spare Tire Carrier Base for 2013 Ford EcoSport

EcoSport Spare Tire Carrier Base

CN15-18321-AA with service reference 1854991 is listed as a spare tire carrier base for the 2013 Ford EcoSport. The supplied component is a mechanical support assembly rather than the painted round outer cover.

Bracket and Cable Architecture

Product images show a combination of mounting plates, pivots and control cables. Compare the number of brackets, cable lengths, terminal shapes and bolt-hole positions with the dismantled carrier to confirm the correct assembly.

Reference and Body-Side Matching

Use both CN15-18321-AA and 1854991 when checking catalogues. Confirm the 2013 EcoSport tailgate configuration and inspect the vehicle-side attachment points because a visually similar carrier can use different cable routing.
