The 2003 Ford E350 has two recalls, the more serious being an air filter element that can smolder or ignite when hot carbon particles from the engine reach it during certain driving conditions.
The second recall affects vans equipped with Sure-Lok wheelchair securement systems: a misaligned sprocket in the retractor assembly can prevent the wheelchair from holding properly in a crash, raising the risk of injury to a wheelchair occupant.
