This could result in an electrical short to ground, which could cause an uncommanded seat belt pretensioner deployment, a burning smell and/or an increased risk of fire, even when the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off. This may also cause turn signals to flash rapidly as well as cause a loss of the instrument cluster display, heater and air conditioning controls, and multimedia system (radio, screens, SYNC). An electrical short could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will add a drainage hole to the driver’s door stepwell and incorporate a fuse into the vehicle wiring harness.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"17S34","part_number":null,"units":8361,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","french":{"component":"Circuit électrique","notification":"Sécurité - TC","summary":"Dans certains véhicules munis d'un module de commande de dispositifs d'éclairage de remorque, de l'eau pourrait s'infiltrer dans le module et le connecteur, ce qui pourrait corroder le câblage et endommager le module. Cela pourrait provoquer un court-circuit à la terre, ce qui pourrait causer un déploiement imprévu des prétendeurs de ceinture de sécurité ou une odeur de brûlé et/ou pourrait augmenter les risques de déclenchement d'un feu, même lorsque le véhicule est immobilisé et que le moteur est arrêté. De plus, les clignotants pourraient clignoter rapidement et il pourrait y avoir un arrêt de fonctionnement de l'affichage du groupe d'instruments, des commandes du chauffage et de la climatisation et du système multimédia (radio, écrans, SYNC). Un court-circuit pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures ou de dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront ajouter un trou de drainage dans le puits de marche de la porte du conducteur et incorporer un fusible dans le faisceau de câbles du véhicule."},"vehicles":[{"year":2015,"make":"FORD","model":"TRANSIT","vehicle_id":"2015_ford_transit","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2016,"make":"FORD","model":"TRANSIT","vehicle_id":"2016_ford_transit","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2017,"make":"FORD","model":"TRANSIT","vehicle_id":"2017_ford_transit","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2017516"}
