Campaign:
17V408000 on 06/28/2017
Component:
Power train:driveline:driveshaft
Manufactured:
01/16/2015 - 06/14/2017
Affected:
372,991
Defect:
Ford motor company (ford) is recalling all 2015-2017 transit vehicles except 156" and 178" wheelbase chassis cab and cut-away bodies. in the affected vehicles, the flexible coupling connecting the transmission to the driveshaft may prematurely fail.
Consequence:
If the coupling fails, the vehicle will not be able to move under its own power and the disconnected driveshaft may impact and damage the brake and fuel lines. additionally, the separated driveshaft may allow the vehicle to roll if the vehicle is exited when the transmission is in 'park' but the parking brake is not applied. these scenarios may increase the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Ford will notify owners, and as an interim repair, dealers will replace the flexible coupling on any vehicle with more than 30,000 miles. a final remedy repair of a redesigned flexible coupling or a revised driveshaft equipped with a universal joint is being developed and is expected in early 2018. these repairs will be made free of charge. interim notifications informing owners of the safety risk were mailed july 21, 2017. owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. owners may contact ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. ford's number for this recall is 17s15.

Affected:
65,206
Defect:
Ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain 2015-2017 ford transit vehicles, equipped with a trailer tow module. water can enter the tow modules and corrode the wiring causing issues such as rapidly flashing turn signals, loss of instrument panel display, an electrical short and possibly the deployment of seatbelt pretensioner.
Consequence:
An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire. turn signal, instrument cluster or seatbelt pretensioner problems can increase the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will add a drainage hole in the driver's door stepwell and incorporate a fuse into the vehicle's wiring harness, free of charge. the recall began on february 9, 2018. owners may contact ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. ford's number for this recall is 17s34.

(national van) is recalling certain 2015-2018 ford transit vehicles equipped with freedman go-es foldaway seats, part numbers 43705, 45467, 48923, and 75719. when the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. as such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 207, "seating systems."
Consequence:
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
Correction:
