What is being recalled
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Transit Connect vehicles equipped with 2.5L engines. The powertrain control module (PCM) software has fail-safe temperature threshold values higher than intended for the engine. This may delay the fail-safe cooling strategy in the event of coolant loss and result in engine overheating.
Why it is dangerous
If the engine overheats, it can result in engine damage and increase the risk of a fire.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the PCM software, free of charge. The recall began November 10, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S60.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 20V-636 when calling a dealer.
