Recalls announced at Ford, Chrysler


Ford Motor Co. is recalling 33,728 Transit Connect vans and halting sales until it fixes the vehicles.




Quote from the article:
The Dearborn automaker told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling 2010 Transit Connect vehicles to replace a part above the B-pillar trim on both the left and right side of the vehicle to address potential noncompliance with federal law.

Ford said it is not aware of any reports of accidents or injuries related to this issue.

On April 23, Ford was informed by NHTSA of the test result recorded for a 2010 model year Ford Transit Connect. Ford investigated the test results, including assessing of test setup conditions and additional system testing and analysis, to confirm the test results.

Ford will notify dealers when it has a revised "headliner retention pushpin" to replace the possibly defective part.
