Recall Summary Ford is recalling 626 Tourneo Connect and Transit Connect vehicles because the panoramic roof glass panel may not be properly bonded to the vehicle body due to contamination during manufacturing. This defect could cause wind noise, water leaks, or in some cases, the glass panel to detach. Ford will remove, clean, and re-bond the panoramic roof panel on affected vehicles.
