Ford Issues Recall on Transit Vehicles

On June 28, the Ford Motor Company issued a safety recall and two safety compliance recalls for more than 400,000 transit vans and buses, police interceptors, and Ford Escapes. The recall comes after some of the vehicles have had issues with the driveshaft coupling.

“In the affected vehicles, continuing to operate a vehicle with a cracked flexible coupling may cause separation of the driveshaft, resulting in a loss of motive power while driving or unintended vehicle movement in park without the parking brake applied,” Ford said in a statement about the recall. “In addition, separation of the driveshaft from the transmission can result in secondary damage to surrounding components, including brake and fuel lines. A driveshaft separation may increase the risk of injury or crash.”

The affected vehicles were built between 2015-2017, and no known injuries or accidents have been associated with the issue.
