Possible roof separation leads to Ford Transit Connect recall

Updated Sep 29, 2016

Ford has recalled certain 2014 Ford Transit Connect vehicles to reinstall panoramic roofs.

In affected vehicles, an improper bond may exist between the panoramic roof and the vehicle body, resulting in wind noise, water leaks and, in some cases, separation from the vehicle. If the entire panoramic roof separates from the vehicle while driving, it can increase the risk of crash or injury.

Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this issue.

Affected vehicles include certain 2014 Transit Connect vehicles built at Valencia Assembly Plant between Oct. 4, 2013 and July 14, 2014. There are approximately 2,592 vehicles affected, including 887 in the United States and 28 in Canada.

Dealers will remove, clean and reinstall the panoramic roof on affected vehicles at no cost to the customer.
