Concern

26S49 – Transit and Transit/Tourneo Custom – Automatic Transmission Snap Ring

Defect, as DVSA words it

Affected vehicles may have an Electronic One-Way Clutch Assembly built with an unseated snap ring which may lead to a sudden and unexpected loss of forward or reverse movement.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Disassemble the transmission to check the snap ring is correctly seated and replace any necessary parts.

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.
