Ford recalled Transit vehicles built between 27 October 2023 and 24 January 2024. Ford constantly monitors production processes and vehicles in operation.

What’s Wrong
Ford constantly monitors production processes and vehicles in operation. While monitoring vehicles in operation we have become aware of a number of Transit Chassis vehicles which may require a strengthening plate to be fitted to the vehicle’s chassis. The strengthening plate is precautionary and will provide additional strength and durability for the life of the vehicle.
