Ford Transit: Front Suspension Strut To Knuckle Clamping Bolt Insufficient Torque
Ford Transit Recall Summary Ford is recalling 57,275 Transit vehicles because the front suspension strut-to-knuckle clamping bolt may not be tightened to the correct specification. This could allow the suspension assembly to shift, potentially causing the tire to rub against the wheel arch or, in front-wheel-drive models, the shock absorber to contact the driveshaft. Ford will inspect the suspension positioning and tighten the bolt to the proper torque specification.

- Product
- Vehicles: FORD TRANSIT. Units affected: 57,275
- Reason
- It has been identified that the front suspension strut to knuckle clamping bolt torque might be insufficient. The possibility therefore exists that should the assembly move within it's mounting the tyre may contact the wheel arch. Additionally in the case of FWD vehicles the shock absorber could contact the driveshaft. Remedy: Subject vehicles will have the suspension strut checked for correct positioning and the clamp bolt tightened to the revised torque.
