Ford is recalling 2,900 vehicles of the Tourneo Connect and Transit Connect model series manufactured between 2013 and 2014. The reason for the recall is an incorrectly bonded panoramic glass roof that can fall into the traffic area.

At an authorised workshop, the panoramic roof will be inspected and fixed correctly, if necessary.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “11724“. The internal manufacturer code is “16S35“.
