13 August 2025

Henry Ford & Son Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Ford Tourneo Connect and Transit Connect model vehicles.

Vehicles may experience potential freezing of the screen of the front entertainment module while the vehicle is in motion. If the screen of the front entertainment module freezes while the vehicle is in motion, it may shut down and restart several times before turning black. After the vehicle is started, this temporary fault may result in the reversing camera malfunctioning and in warnings about the unavailability of the parking sensors and the emergency call function being shown on the dashboard. Systems that are controlled using the central screen, such as heating, seat heating and ventilation, may not work. A frozen reversing camera may give the false impression that the area behind the vehicle is clear, despite the presence of people or obstacles there, which increases the risk of accident and injury.

 

There are 273 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 17 August 2023 and 27 March 2024.

Henry Ford & Son Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Ford Kuga model vehicles.

A safety issue has been identified whereby for some vehicles, there could be a manufacturing defect in one or more of the high voltage battery cells, which cause the cell to develop an internal short circuit. The internal battery short circuit occurs over longer running periods, because the internal battery separator becomes damaged over time by repeated charging and discharging cycles of the cells. There is a risk of fire. There may also be a loss of propulsion power, which increases the risk of accidents.

01 April 2025

Henry Ford & Son Limited is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain Ford Transit Courier, Tourneo Courier model vehicles.

A safety issue has been identified whereby a contact between the coupling nut of the brake line and the fuel tank may cause a leak in one of the brake lines. In the event of leakage, the driver is warned by a red warning light and/or the tell-tales on the instrument cluster. The vehicle has two diagonal brake line circuits. In the event of failure of a brake line circuit, the vehicle may be stopped by the function of the second circuit, where the reduced braking performance still meets the homologated minimum requirements. Damage to the fuel tank and possible leakage of fuel cannot be ruled out. It is possible that flammable liquids could come into contact with a hot surface (exhaust pipe).

There are 4 vehicles affected in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 10 December 2023 and  06 February 2024.
