What is this? A Ford Transit van may have a front suspension bolt that was tightened too much when it was made. This can make the bolt weaker over time.

What's happening? If the bolt breaks, the van’s steering and brakes may not work well. This could lead to an accident.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive a Ford Transit in Germany, this could affect you.

What should I do? Take your van to a Ford dealer right away. Ask your mechanic or doctor if you feel unsafe driving it.
