Ford Recalls Worldwide 769,000 Diesel Vehicles Due to Emissions System Issues
The German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) announced on Tuesday that Ford is recalling around 769,000 diesel vehicles globally due to potential problems with the exhaust gas recirculation system. In Germany alone, approximately 164,000 vehicles are affected.
The models involved, produced from 2014 to 2023, include the B-Max, C-Max, Eco Sport, Fiesta, Focus, Galaxy, Grand C-Max, Kuga, Mondeo, Ranger, S-Max, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Transit Connect, and Transit Courier.
The reason for the recall is described as a “construction-related increase in particle numbers over the lifespan.” Ford will update the calibration software in the affected vehicles. Owners of the affected vehicles can expect to be informed about the recall shortly.
