What Happened — and How It's Fixed
NHTSA 26V-061000 · 2023–2024 · STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
On approximately 1,403 Ford Transit Trail vans built between March 15, 2022 and January 30, 2024 at the Kansas City Assembly Plant, the engine front crossmember may not have been properly secured. The suspect bolts (part number W705819S439) were installed without washers in preparation for body lifts — a process unique to the Transit Trail off-road specification, which uses spacers on the front struts and modified leaf springs to sit 3.5 inches higher than a standard Transit. Crossmember joint failure can cause the engine to slip out of its intended position, leading to a loss of motive power and critical damage to other vehicle systems including the brake system. Drivers may hear a clunking noise under their feet when driving over bumps, starting the engine, or during acceleration or deceleration.
A loss of drive power or brake failure increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers replace the crossmember fasteners with the new fasteners that include washers, free of charge. Interim notification letters mailed February 13–20, 2026. Final remedy letters will be sent once parts are available.

NHTSA 14V-483000 · 2015 · STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2015 Transit cargo vans without rear seating positions manufactured March 12, 2014, to June 24, 2014 and equipped with windowless sliding doors. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured without the epoxy reinforcement on the windowless sliding doors.
A sliding door without the epoxy reinforcement has an increased potential of unlatching in certain side impact crashes. A door that unlatches may open, allowing for a vehicle occupant to be ejected in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcement plate into the windowless sliding door, free of charge. The recall began in September 22, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S16.
