Known issues on the 2023 Transit-250. Eight recalls are recorded federally for this model year. One follows up on vans repaired incorrectly under earlier campaigns, where an incorrect steering coupler cover was installed; one covers a defroster and climate control kit fitted through a special vehicle accessory package; and one covers rear axles left with too little lubricant, which can damage and seize the tail bearing. Fuel tank welding, tire clearance on Trail-equipped vans, a generator fuel hose, camera hardware and wheelchair restraints make up the remainder. Owners have filed 72 complaints with NHTSA, with no dominant category. Steering, axle, fuel and climate control procedures are all covered here.
