Concern

25SE6 – Transit and Transit Custom – 12V Battery Venting
Advertisement

Defect, as DVSA words it

Affected vehicles may have 12V batteries that have been incorrectly vented allowing any potential venting to be directed into the cabin.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Inspect the battery and replace if required. Fit a battery vent tube to expel any gases.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Check this recall on the DVSA service

Read from DVSA's bulk recalls file (RecallsFile.csv, 7 MB) on 17 September 2026; this recall first read on 4 September 2026, read 15 times since. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Source: DVSA, Check vehicle recalls. CarsMultiverse is an independent site, not an authority: the official notice is the one on the DVSA service.

Ford TRANSIT CUSTOM in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. Ford TRANSIT CUSTOM is named on 17 European notices and 2 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Ford elsewhere in this register

Ford is named on 371 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Ford Transit, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
