Defect

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Transit Connect vehicles equipped with 2.5L engines.

Consequence

If the engine overheats, it can result in engine damage and increase the risk of a fire.

Corrective Action

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the PCM software, free of charge. The recall began November 10, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S60.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Against Safety Risks

The transmission recall may allow a fluid leak that can progress to loss of transmission function and increase fire risk near an ignition source. The engine cooling recall may delay fail-safe cooling after coolant loss, which can lead to overheating, engine damage, and increased fire risk. The air bag recall may affect deployment during a crash and increase the risk of injury. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. Since the manufacturer defines each remedy and provides it free of charge through an authorized dealer, a prompt VIN check is a practical way to identify an open repair and address it before the concern affects your drive.
