Ford Transit: Structure

Affects Ford Transit · 2015 — about 18 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles equipped with windowless sliding doors, reinforcing epoxy may have been omitted from the sliding doors at time of assembly. This could increase the likelihood of the doors unlatching during a side impact, which could increase the risk of injury to unbelted occupants. Correction: Dealers will install a door reinforcement plate.
