24C28 - Transit Courier – Front right seat built with incorrect side airbag
Affected vehicles have been fitted with an incorrect side airbag on the front right seat. There is no significant increase in severity of harm. In the case of a side impact airbag performance still meets ECE135 and ECE95 requirements.
Replace the front right-side airbag.
24C24 - Transit Custom - Side window automatic reversal system / Compliance recall
On affected vehicles there is potentially an issue with the window automatic reversal system (bounce back system). Under certain circumstances a closing window could exert a force of over 100N.
Update driver and passenger door modules software.
24S57 Transit Rear hub bearing
Affected vehicles may experience a lack of lubrication to the rear wheel bearings leading to premature failure.
Check of vehicles current mileage and where necessary inspect bearing to ensure full lubrication with parts replaced as necessary.
24S29 - Transit Connect Panoramic Roof
Transit Connect vehicles fitted with glass panoramic roofs may be subject to wind noise water leak and in rare cases separation from the vehicle.
Remove and re-install glass roof.
24S18 - Transit Courier Tourneo Courier - Brake system potential contamination
Courier vehicles on which the brake system may be contaminated with mineral oil. This can cause swelling of rubber components in the brake system (hydraulic seals brake hoses etc). In some circumstances if swelling occurs there is potential for the brake system to lack hydraulic pressure which may result in longer brake pedal travel and reduced brake performance therefore increasing the risk of an accident.
The Ford dealer will inspect the brake system on all affected vehicles and will replace all the parts affected by this condition.
24C02 - Transit Courier Reversing Camera Black Screen
A small number of Transit Courier vehicles which have been built where the rear-view camera turns black on the SYNC screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse. In addition some other Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features may not function as expected.
Updated software to be installed
24C10 - Transit Custom - Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) software update
Transit Custom vehicles that might have been loaded with the incorrect software for the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) during the manufacturing process. Having the incorrect software could lead to the Lane Change Warning Assist (LCWA) to not work as intended.
The Ford Dealer will update the software to the latest level in order to restore full functionality.
24S34 – Courier Hand Brake Wiring
Courier vehicles where the hand brake electrical wiring could get damaged. This could result in the park brake light being illuminated at all times regardless of whether the park brake lever is physically applied. There is a risk that the customer may assume the park brake is applied when it is not increasing the risk of vehicle roll-away. In some cases the park indicator light will not illuminate although the park brake is applied. There is no hand brake function loss due to this issue.
Inspect rework if required or replace if damaged.
24S30 Transit - Incorrect trailer tow installed
A small number of Transit vehicles have been manufactured with an incorrect tow bar that does not meet the correct load specifications. It is important for the affected vehicles to be returned to a Ford Authorised Dealer. If the tow load is in excess of 2600kg this could potentially result in the trailer becoming detached or the tow bar assembly being damaged. A detached trailer or a damaged tow bar could increase the risk of an accident.
Install the correct tow bar free of charge parts and labour.
24S22 – Transit Rear Brake Line Inspection
The wrong brake line hose may have been installed on the right rear. The longer brake line could create a touch condition with the rear wheel which could in turn cause a brake fluid leak. In the event of a leak you may notice a soft brake pedal feel and a red warning light will illuminate in the cluster. The brake system has two separate diagonal brake line circuits and in the event of one brake line circuit failure the vehicle is able to stop with the functionality of the secondary brake circuit. If the brake lines on both sides were to fail it may lead to a loss of brake function.
Inspect and replace with correct hose.
Transit and Tourneo Courier Infotainment Software Update
A number of Transit and Tourneo Courier vehicles have been identified where the warning chimes may not be operating as intended the chimes may not be audible which does not meet ECE regulation. For vehicles affected by this concern the overall functionality of the vehicle is not affected but some warning chimes may fail to sound including but not limited to intelligent speed assist forward & reverse park aid active cruise control collision warning lane departure & keeping warnings park brake seat belt minder.

24S23 - Transit Skeletal Chassis Inspection
While monitoring vehicles in operation we have become aware of a number of Transit Chassis vehicles may have damage to a section of the vehicle’s chassis. The chassis is the structural element of the vehicle.
Inspect and replace vehicle if required possible reworking.
Transit Courier: Wiring Loom to Steering Column Potential Touch Condition
Affected vehicles may have a touch condition between the dash panel wiring and the steering i-shaft. This may lead to damage of the wiring harness which can cause several issues depending on which wire is affected. Potential issues include loss of exterior lighting loss of tyre pressure monitoring system doors might show up as closed despite not being closed and other possible failure modes.
Inspect and resecure if required

Potential touch condition between brake line union nut and fuel tank
A small number of Courier vehicles that could potentially develop a touch condition over time between the brake line union nut and the fuel tank. If the brake line union nut connection becomes loose due to a touch condition with the fuel tank the friction with the fuel tank may lead to a brake fluid leak or in some cases a fuel leak from the fuel tank. If a brake fluid leak occurs the driver may notice reduced brake performance followed by a red warning light in the cluster. If a fuel leak occurs there is the potential for fuel to come into contact with hot surfaces from the exhaust system along with a strong smell of fuel.
The affected vehicles will be inspected and a protective spacer that was designed to prevent any potential chaffing will be installed.
Software Update for Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) Incomplete
Transit Custom vehicles may have received an incomplete software update or no update prior to leaving the plant. For vehicles affected by this concern and have received an incomplete software update the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) will not function as designed. Customers will be presented with a yellow warning light in the vehicles cluster. For vehicles where no update was received there are no warning messages informing the customer that the ADAS system may not work as expected.
