Front suspension strut to knuckle clamping bolt insufficient torque
FORD announced a problem with the Transit affecting a total of 57,275 vehicles.
It has been identified that the front suspension strut to knuckle clamping bolt torque might be insufficient. The possibility therefore exists that, should the assembly move within it's mounting, the tyre may contact the wheel arch. Additionally, in the case of FWD vehicles the shock absorber could contact the driveshaft. Vehicles built from 10/21/2005 to 4/27/2007 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Subject vehicles will have the suspension strut checked for correct positioning and the clamp bolt tightened to the revised torque.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest FORD dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
