FORD TRANSIT 260S – statistika z registru

Excessive gas emission has been identified in the affected 12V batteries. In the absence of a vent tube, hazardous gases such as hydrogen sulphide may enter the driver compartment from under the front seat, posing a risk of injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

A front suspension bolt may have been overtightened during manufacturing, weakening it over time. If the bolt breaks, steering control and braking performance may be reduced, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

Insufficient distance between the wiring harness and the transmission housing may result in damage to cables. The power-assisted steering may fail. There is a risk of fire due to short circuits and a risk of accidents. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

The rear axle may not be sufficiently lubricated, leading to a malfunction of the wheel bearings which can cause the rear wheels to lock. This can provoke a loss of vehicle's control, increasing the risk of accident and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

Vehicles have been manufactured with a trailer coupling assembly that cannot withstand the declared towable mass. This can lead the trailer to separate from the towing vehicle, which creates serious risk of accidents and injuries to other road users. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

The car is not equipped with a protective rail for the high-voltage battery which may lead to that the battery pack is damaged, creating a risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

The connections to the injection valve’s fuel-return line may not be fully secured and could become loose, which may cause the fuel-return-line to detach from the fuel-injection nozzle.As a result, fuel may leak and come in to contact with hot surfaces, increasing the risk of fire.

Due to an error in the assembly process, there might be a single, loose screw in the steering support.The loose screw could cause a sudden, temporary blocking of the steering while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of an accident.

The rear driveshaft bearing support bracket may not been fitted with the intended internal bushes. As a result, the driveshaft could potentially detach from its position and make contact with the road, increasing the risk of an accident.

The weld penetration on the left-hand lower control arm does not meet specification.As a result, cracks can be formed on the control arm, increasing the risk of an accident.

The lower control arms fitted to vehicles may have missing or partial welds. As a result, the control arms could break, increasing the risk of an accident.

The fuse for the electronic Run On Water Pump (ROWP) is inadequate and will not prevent it from overheating in case of failure.This will lead to the melting of the pump body and wiring, increasing the risk of fire.

The shoulder height adjuster bolt on the driver-side's front seatbelt may be incorrectly torqued. As a result, in the event of an accident, the seatbelt anchorage bolt may separate from the seatbelt shoulder height adjuster, leading to injuries.

Corrosion of the multi-valve for the natural gas system can occur. In the event of a fire, this could lead to the pressure relief device malfunctioning with the risk that the natural gas tank explodes.

The tow bar fitted to the vehicle can fail if the vehicle is loaded to the maximum gross train weight. This could result in the loss of the trailer.

The rear stabiliser bar could crack, compromising vehicle handling characteristics.

The fuel injector may have a detached internal valve which would lead to failure and reduction in fuel pressure leading to engine shut down.

The vehicles pose the risk of injuries because they have been fitted with a brake pedal pin retaining "R" clip which does not meet material specification. Spring tension of the clip will be reduced. As a result, there is the possibility that the clip could come off, allowing the brake pedal to detach from the brake booster push rod. This would result in loss of brake actuation and could lead to an accident.

The bolt that secures the brake pipe bracket to the rear axle could fail and lead to subsequent fatigue failure of the rear brake pipe. This would reduce the brake performance and could cause the vehicle to crash.
