Johannesburg, South Africa — Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA) has initiated a recall for certain Ranger and Everest models, sold between 2018 and February 2020, that are equipped with the 10R80 transmission.
The recall aims to address potential issues with the transmission fluid pump gear, which may fail, leading to a reduction in hydraulic pressure and the risk of losing drive while driving.
The affected vehicles were sold in South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, and Eswatini. Owners are advised to take their vehicles to the nearest authorized Ford dealership for a free software update. Ford has taken this step to ensure the safety of its customers and prevent potential incidents.
This recall is part of Ford’s commitment to safety and quality, and the company is working closely with dealerships to ensure that the necessary repairs are completed as quickly as possible. Customers can verify if their vehicle is part of the recall by contacting the toll-free helpline or entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the company’s website.
