REC-000324

active

2020 Ford TRANSIT

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Ford Motor Company of Australia Limited

Recall date: 28 March 2021

Defect

Due to a manufacturing fault, the vehicle's rear driveshaft bearing support bracket may hold the driveshaft at the incorrect angle, causing excessive wear to the driveshaft over time.

Hazard

If the driveshaft suffers excessive wear, for example in vehicles with high mileage, it could detach and hit the road or dig into the road surface. This could cause the vehicle to be lifted or tipped over, increasing the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
