What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2014 Ford Transit, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER 2016 FOR A RECALL ON A FAULTY DOOR LATCH WHICH HAD CAUSED INJURY. TO DATE WE HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF A REPLACEMENT PART BEING AVAILABLE. THE DEALER CANNOT GIVE US ANY DETAILS OF WHEN THIS PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. I THINK 14 MONTHS IS LONG ENOUGH. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. *JS

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
