2020 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Ford Transit Connect has 5 recalls, the most serious being a shifter cable bushing that can degrade or fall off, causing the transmission to slip into an unintended gear and the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Two recalls address engine overheating on 2.5L-equipped models: the powertrain control module software sets its fail-safe temperature threshold too high, delaying the cooling response when the engine gets too hot or loses coolant, which raises the risk of fire or engine damage. One of these recalls affects vehicles where a prior repair attempt did not fully resolve the issue. On the safety equipment side, certain frontal airbag modules are missing internal propellant components and will not deploy properly in a crash, leaving the driver or front passenger with reduced protection. There is also a windshield concern on certain vehicles where the glass was not bonded firmly enough to the body, meaning it can separate during a crash and raise the risk of injury.
