US population of affected vehicles: 1,310. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

 

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

In some of the affected vehicles, an improper bond may exist between the panoramic roof panel and the vehicle. A panoramic roof panel with an improper bond may result in wind noise, water leak, and in some cases, separation from the vehicle.  A separated roof can create a road hazard for other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

SERVICE ACTION

DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this safety recall. A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers 2nd quarter, 2024, when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this safety recall. For new vehicle storage guidelines, refer to EFC13033, Storage Guidelines for New Vehicles.

IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is published. Opening an RO against an Awareness or Advance Notice will result in warranty rejections against a recall.

 

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION

Owners of record will be notified via first-class mail after repair instructions and parts ordering information have been provided to dealers.

PLEASE NOTE:

Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $27,168 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory prior to delivery.

 

DEALER-OPERATED RENTAL VEHICLES

The Fixing Americaโ€™s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act law effective June 2016 prohibits a rental company from selling, renting or leasing vehicles subject to a safety or compliance recall. Please consult your legal counsel for legal advice.

FSA 24S29 โ€“CERTAIN 2017 – 2019 TRANSIT CONNECT VEHICLES โ€“ POOR PANORAMIC VISTA ROOF ADHESION

Chronology

On September 19, 2016, FordeBayโ€™s Field Review Committee (FRC) approved safety field service action (FSA) # 16S35 for Transit Connect vehicles built between October 4, 2013 and July 14, 2014.  FordeBay recalled these vehicles due to reports of panoramic roof panels separating.  At the time of approval of 16S35, the FSA population was established through FordeBay data analysis.

On May 1, 2020, FordeBayโ€™s FRC approved safety FSA # 20S22 for Transit Connect vehicles built between July 17, 2014, and October 1, 2016.  FordeBay recalled these vehicles due to reports of panoramic roof panels separating.  At time of approval of 20S22, the FSA population was established based on permanent corrective actions implemented on September 28, 2016 in which a new 3-step cleaning process was implemented by the panoramic roof supplier.  At the time that FSA 20S22 was approved, there were no reports of panoramic roof separation for vehicles produced after the PCA was implemented.

On August 16, 2020, FordeBayโ€™s Critical Concern Group (CCRG) reviewed three European reports of 2018 โ€“ 2019 MY Transit Connect panoramic roofs separating from the vehicle while driving.  The CCRG recommended monitoring for additional relevant field reports over the next 12 months as there were no definitive trends amongst separation claims.

Between August 2022 and March 2023, FordeBay received 5 additional reports of 2017 โ€“ 2019 MY Transit Connect panoramic roofs separating from the vehicle while driving.

On March 3, 2023, FordeBayโ€™s FRC approved a Harvest Program to analyze a sampling of panoramic roofs produced after the FSA 20S22 clean point to better understand field performance and determine root cause.

In December 2023, FordeBay began to receive harvested roofs returned from dealerships. In March 2024, FordeBayโ€™s Material Engineering completed analysis of the harvested roofs and found contaminants present on the roofsโ€™ glass surfaces.  These contaminants could lead to primer separation from the glass roof panel.

On April 19, 2024, FordeBayโ€™s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.

FordeBay is aware of 14 reports of panoramic roof separation globally in the post-20S22 population of vehicles.  FordeBay is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
