Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Against Recall Risks

NHTSA identifies three recall concerns for the 2019 Ford Transit Connect. Loose or missing transmission accumulator bolts may cause a fluid leak, loss of transmission function, or increased fire risk. On certain vehicles with 2.5L engines, PCM software may delay the cooling response after coolant loss, potentially leading to overheating, engine damage, or fire. An affected frontal air bag module may not deploy as intended, increasing injury risk in a crash. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. Even if your vehicle feels normal, an open recall may not produce an obvious warning before a problem develops.
