Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 152 Transit Connect vehicles from the 2019 and 2020 model years. These specific vehicles were previously repaired incorrectly, leaving the engine control software with temperature limits that are too high. This error can delay the engine's cooling process and cause the engine to overheat, which significantly increases the risk of a fire. Ford dealers will provide a free software update to correct the temperature thresholds.
The engine may overheat because the software does not trigger fail-safe cooling measures at the correct temperature. This extreme heat can lead to a fire in the engine compartment.

Relates to vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 20V-636.
