2018 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Ford Transit Connect has 5 recalls, the most serious being a panoramic roof panel that can detach from the vehicle while driving, creating a road hazard, and a shifter cable bushing that can degrade or break free and cause the transmission to slip into an unintended gear. Two structural concerns affect the body: on vehicles with a panoramic roof, the panel may not be properly bonded to the body and can come loose at speed, while some windshields lack adequate adhesion and can separate from the body in a crash, raising the risk of injury to occupants. On the safety equipment side, the side curtain airbag fabric can tear during deployment, cutting the inflation time short and reducing protection in a side impact. There is also a software issue where the rearview camera fails to display an image when the transmission is shifted into reverse, limiting the driver's view when backing up.
