Ford recalls multiple models due to various safety hazards including fire risk

Henry Ford & Son Limited has announced a voluntary recall for multiple Ford model vehicles due to safety concerns. The recalls affect models including the Ford Tourneo Courier, Transit Courier, Capri, Explorer, Kuga, Transit Custom, Transit, Ranger, Mustang, e-Transit, Puma, and Focus. Each model has specific hazards, such as slipping handbrakes that could lead to unintentional vehicle movement, loose rear axle joints that may cause steering misalignment, and risks of fire from internal battery short circuits or fuel leaks.

In total, thousands of vehicles are impacted across various production dates. For instance, the Kuga models produced between August 2019 and November 2023 face risks from high-voltage battery issues, while the Transit Custom models manufactured between August 2021 and December 2025 may experience excessive gassing from batteries. Other models have concerns ranging from airbag defects to corrosion of seatbelt components, all of which could increase the risk of accidents or injuries.

Consumers who believe their vehicle may be affected are encouraged to contact Henry Ford & Son Limited for further information. They can reach out via the provided phone number or visit the official website to locate their nearest Ford service point for assistance with the recall process.
