Ford recalls multiple models due to fire hazard and other safety risks

Henry Ford & Son Limited has announced a series of voluntary recalls affecting various Ford models due to safety concerns. One significant issue involves certain Ford Transit vehicles where damage to the fuel tank may lead to fuel leakage, posing a fire hazard. Additionally, some Ford Kuga models are at risk of an internal short circuit in the high-voltage battery, which could also result in a fire hazard and loss of propulsion power.

Other recalls include Ford C-MAX and Transit Connect models, where a cracked diesel particulate filter may lead to excessive emissions, potentially causing the vehicles to fail roadworthiness tests. There are also concerns with the handbrake slipping in Ford Tourneo Courier and Transit Courier models, which could lead to unintentional vehicle movement.

Consumers are advised to check if their vehicles are affected by these recalls, which include a wide range of production dates and models. Affected individuals can contact Henry Ford & Son Limited for further instructions and to arrange necessary repairs. It is crucial for owners to address these recalls promptly to ensure their safety and compliance with legal standards.
