Ford Motor Company is recalling 373 of its 2024 Transit vehicles because the front gross axle weight rating (GAWR) is listed incorrectly on both the B-pillar label and in the owner's manual. This error can lead owners to unintentionally overload the vehicle's front axle. If a vehicle is overloaded, it can cause the steering knuckle to fail, resulting in a sudden loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash. Ford dealers will replace the affected labels free of charge to resolve the issue.
An incorrectly labeled weight rating can lead to vehicle overloading, which puts excessive stress on the steering knuckle. This stress can cause the component to fail, leading to a complete loss of steering control while driving.
