Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 471 model year 2022-2023 Transit vehicles that were previously repaired incorrectly under a prior recall (22V-791). The heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system controls, including the critical defog and defrost functions, may stop working. Dealers will update the remote climate control module software at no cost to owners.

Risk

The loss of the defrost or defogging functions can significantly reduce the driver's visibility during cold or humid weather. Decreased visibility prevents the driver from seeing the road or surrounding hazards clearly, which increases the risk of a crash.
