2016 Ford Transit Custom Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2016 Ford Transit Custom addresses the turbocharged 2.2L DOHC inline-four diesel in Cargo and Pasajeros trim, across four-door extended passenger and cargo bodies.

Known issues on the 2016 Transit Custom. Eight recalls are attached to this model year. One concerns trailer tow modules that can admit water and corrode their wiring, which can short and, at worst, start a fire; another was issued by a hybrid conversion company over a front driveshaft universal joint that can let the shaft come away from the vehicle; the rest, from various upfitters, involve foldaway seat backs that can move under crash loads. Owners have filed 154 complaints with NHTSA, dominated by 58 on the power train, with the engine and the structure at ten apiece. Driveline, wiring and seat mounting procedures carry the load here.
