Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Against Recall Risks

NHTSA recall information identifies risks that should not be ignored. Door-lock defects may allow a door to open while the Transit Connect is moving, while a loose roof panel or sliding-door panel could separate from the vehicle. Fuel-line abrasion may cause a fire hazard, and an engine concern could allow oil to reach hot components. Other recalls involve stalling, missing instrument-panel warnings, loose seat-belt fasteners, and brake-fluid identification. Waiting can leave a known safety issue unresolved and may increase the chance of injury, a crash, or fire. A VIN check quickly determines whether an open remedy applies to your vehicle.
