My backup camera goes black and radio buttons do not work when this happens. They replaced apim and harness wires but did not solve the problem. They say they cannot replace radio because not on recall list. My van is under warranty. My van has the same issue as the recalls but not on the list. I've been having this issue since I bought the van. It needs to be on the recall list so I can get this issue fixed.

Ford has issued recall 24V226 for apparent tire rub on the Transit Trail package almost two months ago and has since given no information on timeline for this recall. This issue seems to be contingent on a "perfect storm" of variables and therefore seems to pose much less of a safety risk than stated. Many owners online report no tire rub even during aggressive offroad driving. Regardless, the agreed upon preventative fix is very well documented within the Transit community and has been performed by countless van owners in the past, myself included. This potential issue should have been blatant well before production started on these models, but now that we're here, it seems Ford is dragging their feet to publish what should be a very quick and straightforward fix which is holding up many

Ford is taking too long to remedy this recall. And also their inference that there may be smaller tires put on the vehicle materially changes the vehicle that I purchased. Based on information at Large It is believed that there are remedies that can be deployed without reducing the tire size. Many are awaiting their decisions so they can move forward with their vehicles.

We are now 3 months into Ford recall 24S21/24V226 for the Transit Trail. No communication has been received beyond the initial notice in March and no timeline has been given. As seen in forums online, many buyers, myself included, sit in the dark while our vans rot away on the dealers lot with no end in sight. Ford needs to at least give us a timeline so buyers can make an informed decision on proceeding to wait, or back out of their purchases (if possible).

The rear axle snapped and rear tire separated and rolled behind vehicle on the expressway causing the potential for injury/fatalities to our driver and surrounding passenger vehicles by recall 24S05. At no point did we receive communication from Ford that the vehicle should not be operated. We scheduled the recall repairs for next week, 5/4/26 however this morning, 5/1/26 the rear axle snapped and the tire fell off of the vehicle. The vehicle has been towed to Roche Ford in Bensenville for repairs. The recall has been well documented and has thus far caused 285 incidents and 1 accident prior to our issue this morning. There were no indicator lights or messages to indicate an issue.
