The lower control arms may have missing or partial welds
Inspect the lower control arms and replace if required.
THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS MAY BE FITTED WITH MISSING OR PARTIAL WELDS
The lower control arms may have missing or partial welds
Inspect the lower control arms and replace if required.
THE RUN ON WATER PUMP MAY OVERHEAT
The Run On Water Pump (ROWP) fitted to Transit and Transit Custom vehicles may overheat
Replacing the 15 Amp fuse with a 7.5 Amp fuse to prevent the possibility for the ROWP to overheat.
THE RUN ON WATER PUMP MAY OVERHEAT
The Run On Water Pump (ROWP) fitted to Transit and Transit Custom vehicles may overheat
Replacing the 15 Amp fuse with a 7.5 Amp fuse to prevent the possibility for the ROWP to overheat.
VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN FITTED WITH THE INCORRECT TWIN BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE
Vehicles may have been fitted with the wrong twin battery positive cable.
Inspect affected vehicles install a new twin battery cable and correct the cable routing if the concern is identified.
SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKE PERFORMANCE
The brake booster diaphragm plate can crack causing the internal membrane to split and leading to sudden loss of brake performance.
Replace the brake booster (servo).
VEHICLE COULD SUFFER CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE FRACTURE
A number of vehicles fitted with a 1.0 1.5 or 1.6 Ecoboost engine and 6-speed manual transmission could suffer clutch pressure plate fracture. This results in clutch smell reduced vehicle speed and performance. In the unlikely event of clutch pressure plate fracture a noise (thud / bang) could be heard from the vicinity of the transmission in extreme cases resulting in clutch / transmission fragments being released and striking under hood components creating a risk of smoke and fire from the under hood area.
To prevent the repeated heating /cooling events a new calibration has been developed for vehicles fitted with Engine Stop Start feature. The software with the additional feature sets the Instrument panel �Wrench light� and de-rates the engine performance if prolonged clutch slip is detected. The software feature includes a drive cycle strategy for latching the wrench light and engine performance de-rate if the customer should experience repeated clutch slip events. For vehicles that do not have Engine Stop Start feature an alternative clutch kit has been released.
INCORRECTLY TORQUED LEFT HAND SEATBELT TO SEATBELT SHOULDER HEIGHT ADJUSTER BOLT
An incorrectly torqued left hand seatbelt to seatbelt shoulder height adjuster bolt.
Replace the left hand seatbelt and shoulder height adjuster with new parts.
INCORRECTLY TORQUED LEFT HAND SEATBELT TO SEATBELT SHOULDER HEIGHT ADJUSTER BOLT
An incorrectly torqued left hand seatbelt to seatbelt shoulder height adjuster bolt.
Replace the left hand seatbelt and shoulder height adjuster with new parts.

THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD MAY CRACK
Localized overheating of the engine cylinder head may cause the cylinder head to crack.This may cause a pressurized oil leak which in extreme circumstances could result in a fire in the engine compartment.
On affected vehicles Inspect engine and cooling system. Replace affected components and fit a Coolant Level Sensor along with associated software to provide and audible and visual warning to the driver.
PANORAMIC ROOF GLASS MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the mating surface of the vehicle body for the panoramic glass roof panel may have been contaminated during the primer phase of the instigation process. There is a possibility that this could cause poor adhesion between the panoramic glass roof panel and the vehicle body. This could result in wind noise water leaks and in the worst cases detachment of the panoramic glass roof.
Recall all affected vehicles to remove clean body and re-bond the panoramic glass roof panel.
VEHICLE HANDLING MAY BE COMPROMISED BY REAR STABILISER FAULT
The Rear Stabiliser bar may not be to specification. This could result in the Rear Stabiliser bar cracking and failing which will result in the vehicle handling characteristics being adversely affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a new rear stabiliser bar.
TOW BAR MAY FAIL
A non approved tow bar was fitted during manufacture. The rating of the fitted towbar is below the vehicles approved gross train mass (GTM) and could fail if the vehicle is loaded to it's maximum GTM.
On affected vehicles Replace tow bar with an approved towbar of the correct rating.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
A batch of fuel injector may have been assembled correctly. The internal valve can fail and cause reduced fuel pressure and engine shutdown shutdown with no restart.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the injectors. If the injectors of concern are fitted they will be replaced.
POSSIBLE BRAKE FAILURE
It is possible that the material specification of the brake pedal pin retaining R clip is not correct. This can cause the spring tension of the clip to reduce. If not rectified there is a possibility that the R clip could become detached which can result in the separation of the brake pedal and the brake booster push rod. This will result in brake failure.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the R clip with a new quality assured one.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK - BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE AFFECTED
The rear brake pipe bracket to axle securing bolt may fail due to inconsistencies in bolt manufacture. Low clamp load of the joint could lead to bolt failure and subsequent fatigue failure of the rear brake bundy pipe. This would result loss of brake fluid and significantly reduced brake performance (single circuit brake operation only and soft brake pedal).
The original bolt will be replaced with a new bolt and locking nut.
WIPER ARM MAY DETACH
Wiper arm may detach due to the wiper arm pivot pins not being to specification. If the wiper arms detach view to the front could be impaired.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the wiper arm pivot pins.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
It has been identified that a batch of vehicles converted by SVP have been fitted with a split charging system the relays of which may not be to specification and could subsequently fail. This can result in wiring loom damage and the possibility of a fire.
Whereas the converter has approached 89 customers and supplied revised parts. It is proposed that Ford will contact the owners of the outstanding vehicles to emphasise the importance of end users contacting the convertor thus ensuring that the remaining vehicles are reworked.
