Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling 1,902 of its 2023-2024 Transit vehicles equipped with the Transit Trail package. A grounding connection in the electronic power assist steering (EPAS) system can corrode, potentially leading to a sudden loss of power steering assist. Owners can have the issue fixed for free by visiting a Ford dealer, who will install a new steering ground pigtail kit.

Risk

A loss of power steering assist makes the vehicle significantly harder to steer, especially at lower speeds, which increases the physical effort required by the driver and raises the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Confirm if your vehicle is affected by checking for a 2023-2024 Ford Transit equipped specifically with the 'Transit Trail' package.
  2. Locate your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and enter it at www.nhtsa.gov/recalls or Ford's owner site to see if recall 24S46 applies to your specific van.
  3. Contact a local Ford dealership to schedule a free repair. The dealer will install a new electronic power assist steering (EPAS) ground pigtail kit at no cost to you.
  4. If you have additional questions, contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference Ford recall number 24S46.
  5. For further assistance or to report safety concerns, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
