Power train › Axle assembly › Axle shaft

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2025 E-Transit vehicles. The left rear axle half shaft may partially disengage from the power drive unit, which can result in a loss of drive power.

Risk: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. In addition, a half shaft that is not fully engaged to the primary drive unit can result in a vehicle rollaway if the parking brake is not applied, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Fix: Dealer will inspect and replace the rear half shaft and power drive unit components as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 3, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25SD9.

Sep 15, 2026Tires

235/65R16C This vehicle was a rental. During our trip, the right rear/passenger-side rear tire repeatedly lost air pressure, requiring multiple stops to add air. The tire ultimately went completely flat at night while we were traveling on the highway with four young children in the vehicle. We were stranded along the roadway while traffic, including large semi-trucks, passed at highway speeds, creating a serious safety risk to the occupants. After the tire failed, we observed what appeared to be an existing tire plug/repair near the outer shoulder of the tread. Photographs taken during the i…

Aug 17, 2026Electrical system, Engine

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Transit. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the instrument cluster went blank and the vehicle shut off, causing a loss of drive power. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and restarted. The failure reoccurred four times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 146,390.

Jun 23, 2026Unknown or other

The failure involves the vehicle’s surround-view (360-degree) camera system, specifically the side camera feed and/or image stitching/display system. When the camera system is activated, one side of the 360-degree view intermittently fails and is replaced by a solid gray box instead of a live image, as shown in the attached photos. This suggests a fault in the side camera, wiring, or software processing. Ford has issued a recall related to the camera system; however, this issue persists in this vehicle despite the action the dealer has taken relating to the recall. The vehicle is available for…

Jun 4, 2026Visibility/wiper

My transit 2022 van has intermittent issues with the climate controls not working. Sometimes it will completely stop working for a day or more, and other times a few hours. This becomes a big issue in the winter when you need to keep the windshield clear of frost on the outside and inside. When looking online I found that I am not the only one having this issue.

May 26, 2026Electrical system

Safety Component Affected: BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA Description of the Safety Defect: The rearview camera system on my 2022 Ford Transit fails completely, displaying either a distorted image, a completely blank blue screen, or a black screen when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. This total loss of rear visibility creates a severe blind-spot hazard and an immediate risk of a back-over crash, especially given the large commercial dimensions of this van. History of Failed Manufacturer Remedies: This vehicle has been brought to an authorized Ford dealership seven (7) separa…

May 24, 2026Electrical system, Service brakes, Fuel/propulsion system

I’ve been dealing with some intermittent problems with my 2022 transit for a couple years now. Basically I’ll be driving on the highway and all the sudden I’ll lose gas control, and power braking and the dash displays a message that says “shift to neutral to restart vehicle”, battery icon flashes red and I have to coast to the side of the highway. The electronics in the car will still be working when I pull over but the battery is dead. If I shift to park my engine doesn’t turn over or make any clicks at all. The few times it’s happened it eventually will turn back on after 10 min or so after…

We are reaching out regarding Safety Recall Notice 23S48. This recall pertains to this issue: "when the vehicle is placed in reverse, or when the 360-Degree view is selected, you may intermittently see a rear camera blue or black image on the SYNC screen." After bringing our vehicle to the Ford dealership, they have replaced the camera as the recall specifies. However, the issue described continues to persist. Ford is telling us than any further work towards fixing this issue would be at our expense. 

Jan 22, 2026Forward collision avoidance, Back over prevention

The contact stated that the camera was turning gray and blue. The manufacturer was contacted and helped with the repair. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The modules were reset by an independent mechanic. The contact rece…
