The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has announced a safety recall for certain 2017–2020 Ford Ranger and Ford Everest vehicles fitted with the 10R80 transmission.
The affected vehicles, sold between 11 July 2018 and 28 February 2020, may experience transmission fluid pump gear failure, which can cause a loss of drive while the vehicle is moving, increasing the risk of a crash.
“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,” the company said.
Owners are urged to take their vehicles to the nearest authorised Ford dealership for free Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Transmission Control Module (TCM) software updates. The recall also applies to affected vehicles exported to Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini.
