Ford recalls multiple vehicle models due to various safety hazards

Henry Ford & Son Limited has announced a voluntary recall affecting several Ford vehicle models due to various safety concerns. Among the issues reported, some vehicles have a handbrake that may slip, which could lead to a complete loss of handbrake function and increase the risk of the vehicle rolling away. This affects certain Ford Tourneo Courier and Transit Courier models produced between September 1, 2025, and November 24, 2025.

Additionally, there are concerns with the rear axle joints in Ford Capri and Explorer models, which may not have been tightened correctly. If these joints fail, it could lead to steering misalignment or loss of control, posing a risk during driving. This recall includes two vehicles produced between February 20, 2025, and November 10, 2025.

Another significant issue involves the Ford Kuga, where an internal short circuit in the high-voltage battery could pose a fire hazard. This affects 4,144 vehicles produced from August 2, 2019, to November 28, 2023. Furthermore, the Ford Transit Custom has a risk of excessive gassing in the 12V batteries, which could allow harmful gas to enter the driver compartment, impacting safety for 8,108 vehicles made between August 1, 2021, and December 8, 2025.

Consumers who own any of the affected vehicles are encouraged to contact Henry Ford & Son Limited for further instructions and to find their nearest service point. It is important for owners to address these recalls promptly to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road.
