The vehicles pose the risk of injuries because they have been fitted with a brake pedal pin retaining “R” clip which does not meet material specification. Spring tension of the clip will be reduced. As a result, there is the possibility that the clip could come off, allowing the brake pedal to detach from the brake booster push rod. This would result in loss of brake actuation and could lead to an accident.
The recall affects Transit and Transit Custom vehicles, produced between 08.10.2012 and 06.02.2013 in Kocaeli, Turkey, and Transit vehicles, produced between 28.09.2012 and 06.02.2013 in Southampton, UK.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?
Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Ford dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
