Henry Ford & Son Limited has announced a voluntary recall affecting several Ford model vehicles due to various safety concerns. The recalls include the Ford Tourneo Courier and Transit Courier, where a slipping handbrake may lead to a complete loss of handbrake holding power, posing a risk of the vehicle rolling away. Additionally, certain Ford Capri and Explorer models have rear axle joints that may not be tightened properly, which could result in steering misalignment or loss of control.
The Ford Kuga models are also being recalled due to a potential internal short circuit in the high-voltage battery, which could cause a fire hazard and loss of propulsion power. Other models, such as the Ford Transit Custom, face risks from excessive gassing in 12V batteries, while the Transit model vehicles may have wiring issues that could lead to power steering failure and fire risks. Furthermore, certain Ford Ranger and Mustang models have issues with brake assist loss and corroded seatbelt components, respectively, which could increase the risk of injury in an accident.
