Ford Transit Courier: – Courier Hand Brake Wiring

Recall Summary Ford is recalling 1,514 Transit Courier and Tourneo Courier vehicles because the hand brake electrical wiring can become damaged, causing the park brake warning light to stay on continuously or fail to illuminate when it should. This could lead drivers to misjudge whether the park brake is actually engaged, increasing the risk of the vehicle rolling away. The hand brake itself still works mechanically, but the warning system may not accurately indicate its status.

Product

Vehicles: FORD TRANSIT COURIER, FORD TOURNEO COURIER. Units affected: 1,514

Reason

Courier vehicles where the hand brake electrical wiring could get damaged. This could result in the park brake light being illuminated at all times regardless of whether the park brake lever is physically applied. There is a risk that the customer may assume the park brake is applied when it is not increasing the risk of vehicle roll-away. In some cases the park indicator light will not illuminate although the park brake is applied. There is no hand brake function loss due to this issue. Remedy: Inspect rework if required or replace if damaged.
