## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2014 Ford Transit Connect cargo vans manufactured August 9, 2013, to September 20, 2014.  The affected vehicles are equipped with sliding door panels that may have an improper bond strength between the plastic panel and paint primer.  This could cause the door panel to separate from the vehicle while driving.


## What can happen

If the plastic sliding door panel separates while driving, it can increase the risk of a vehicle crash.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reinstall the panel with proper materials, free of charge.  The recall began January 28, 2015.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 14S26.
