The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has announced a safety recall for certain 2017 to 2020 Ford Ranger and Ford Everest vehicles fitted with the 10R80 transmission, warning that a transmission fault could cause the vehicles to lose drive while on the road.
The recall affects vehicles sold in South Africa between July 11 2018 and February 28 2020. The affected vehicles were also exported to Botswana, Lesotho and eSwatini
According to the consumer watchdog, Ford said the transmission fluid pump gear in the affected vehicles may fail, resulting in a reduction of hydraulic pressure within the transmission.
"This may cause the vehicle to lose movement due to transmission fluid pump gear failure, increasing the risk of an incident while driving".
