FORD Focus and Transit Connect with SVP split charge conversion Recall
Possibility of fire
FORD announced a problem with the Focus and Transit Connect with SVP split charge conversion affecting a total of 109 vehicles.
It has been identified that a batch of vehicles converted by SVP have been fitted with a split charging system, the relays of which may not be to specification and could subsequently fail. This can result in wiring loom damage and the possibility of a fire. Vehicles built from 9/1/2006 to 10/31/2007 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Whereas the converter has approached 89 customers and supplied revised parts. It is proposed that Ford will contact the owners of the outstanding vehicles, to emphasise the importance of end users contacting the convertor thus ensuring that the remaining vehicles are reworked.
