A broken key can be replaced with the current service part, which is a like-for-like replacement. However, for customers that may require a more robust key due to high key cycle activity, a mechanical key (Rotunda part numbers: pre-cut 164-R8290, uncut 164-R8289) can be programmed to the vehicle and used in conjunction with the original fob that has the broken flip-key for the remote keyless entry functions. To program the keys, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 419-01B.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10201599-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10201599-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10201599","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"TRANSIT","year_from":2020,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_transit","2021_ford_transit"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
