R/2025/199 · 9 Jun 2025
9 Jun 2025Defect
On affected vehicles the correct tightening torque was not reached on some of the exhaust manifold nuts during the manufacturing process. This could lead to exhaust gas leaking and the melting of the nearby plastic oil separator causing oil to leak on to hot surfaces and the risk of fire.
Remedy
Visually check to confirm all nut positions and condition. Remove the engine and replace the nut and stud if not ok.

24S22 – Transit Rear Brake Line Inspection
R/2024/190 · 22 Apr 2024
22 Apr 2024Defect
The wrong brake line hose may have been installed on the right rear. The longer brake line could create a touch condition with the rear wheel which could in turn cause a brake fluid leak. In the event of a leak you may notice a soft brake pedal feel and a red warning light will illuminate in the cluster. The brake system has two separate diagonal brake line circuits and in the event of one brake line circuit failure the vehicle is able to stop with the functionality of the secondary brake circuit. If the brake lines on both sides were to fail it may lead to a loss of brake function.
Remedy
Inspect and replace with correct hose.
