What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 Transit vehicles. The front gross axle weight rating may be labeled incorrectly on the vehicle B-pillar label and the owner's manual label, which can result in an overloaded vehicle.

The risk

An overloaded vehicle may result in steering knuckle failure and a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 23, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S53.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
