Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 31,339 Transit vehicles from the 2022 and 2023 model years because the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system controls may stop working. This defect specifically affects the defrost and defog functions, which are critical for maintaining visibility while driving. To resolve this issue, Ford dealers will provide a free software update for the remote climate control module.

Risk

If the defrost or defog functions fail, the driver's visibility can be significantly reduced during certain weather or driving conditions, which increases the risk of a crash.
