What is being recalled
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2014 Transit Connect vehicles manufactured October 4, 2013, to July 14, 2014 and equipped with a Panoramic Fixed-Glass Vista roof. The panoramic roof panel may have an inadequate bond to the vehicle, possibly resulting in the panel separating from the vehicle.
Why it is dangerous
If the panoramic roof panel separates from the vehicle while it is being driven, it may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will remove, clean, and reinstall the panoramic roof panel, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 21, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16S35.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 16V-695 when calling a dealer.
