Details

MFR Campaign Number: 19S38
Recall Type: Vehicle
Defect Summary: Ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain 2015-2017 transit vehicles. this recall includes all full-size transit vehicles previously recalled under 17v-408 except ones that received mechanical universal joint (u-joint) as a remedy and any 156" or 178" wheelbase chassis cab and cut-away bodies models. the flexible coupling connecting the transmission to the driveshaft may prematurely fail.
Consequence Summary: 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 or injury.
Corrective Action: Ford will notify owners, and as an interim repair, dealers will replace the flexible coupling every 40,000 miles until the final remedy is available. the final remedy will consist of installation of a driveshaft front section equipped with a mechanical u-joint in place of the flexible coupling. these repairs will be made free of charge. owner notification letters were mailed on april 1, 2020. owners may contact ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. ford's number for this recall is 19s38. note: this recall supersedes recall number 17v-408.
