Ford Transit: Fuel System

Affects Ford Transit · 2015 — about 3 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain long wheel base Jumbo Van vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, the fuel filter mounting bracket may detach from the frame crossmember, causing a knocking noise. This could limit fuel supply to the engine, potentially resulting in reduced power, engine stalling and inability to restart the engine after a stall. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel filter attachment point and install a reinforcement plate.
