Ford has recently announced two separate recalls involving the popular Transit and E-Transit vans, raising concerns about safety and reliability. These issues stem from missing washers on critical components, highlighting the importance of strict quality control in vehicle manufacturing.
One recall covers 98 units of the 2026 E-Transit electric vans. Missing washers on bolts securing the battery pack’s busbar can lead to high electrical resistance or arcing, increasing the risk of fire and potential loss of propulsion. Fortunately, Ford has identified this as a rare problem caused by a supplier error and expects only about 1 percent of the affected vehicles to experience any issues. Dealers will inspect and replace washers or the entire busbar if necessary to keep these electric work vans safe on the roads.
The second recall impacts 1,403 Transit vans equipped with the Trail package. A missing washer on fasteners securing the engine crossmember can cause the engine to shift, potentially affecting braking and drivability. Although no failures have been reported, about 1.1 percent of these vehicles might be affected. Ford will notify owners and ensure dealerships replace the faulty hardware promptly.
