2017 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Ford Transit Connect has 6 recalls, the most serious being a panoramic roof panel that can detach from the vehicle while driving, creating a road hazard and raising the risk of a crash. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the panoramic roof bonding issue, and the recall has been expanded over time to cover additional vehicles. The windshield carries a similar concern: inadequate adhesion means it can separate from the body structure in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants. On the powertrain side, a shifter cable bushing on models with the 2.5L engine can degrade or fall off, which can prevent the transmission from engaging the intended gear and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. There is also a safety equipment concern: the front seatbelt pretensioners in certain vehicles contain an incorrect chemical mixture and may not fire in a crash, leaving the belts unable to tighten and restrain the driver or front passenger.
