TIRES
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Transit vehicles equipped with the Transit Trail package. The tires may contact the front wheel arch liner and body flange, causing damage to the tires.
- What it can cause
- Damaged tires may experience a sudden loss of air pressure or tread separation, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the tires, tire placard, and certification label, and also recalibrate the vehicle, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 26, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S21.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 1,902 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 65% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the tires 10 times before this, most recently in June 2022 as 22V453000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 84 complaints with NHTSA, 9 of them before this campaign was filed. 6 of those name the tires, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2023, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 19 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V061000 (structure), 25V876000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 25V623000 (steering), 25V442000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on March 22, 2024 as campaign 24V226000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
