Ford Kuga: Sudden loss of tyre air

18/04/2023

Worldwide, 944 Ford Kugas manufactured in the year 2022 have to go back to the workshop. The reason for the measure is a vulcanisation defect that can lead to a rupture of the carcass in the sidewall of the tyres. As a result, a sudden loss of air can occur.

The tyres will be checked in the workshop and replaced if necessary. The KBA is not monitoring the recall, but it is listed under the reference number “012549“. The internal code is “23S03“.
