Ford recalls Ranger vehicles in Vietnam

After reporting and being approved by the Vietnam Register, Ford has officially announced a recall related to Ranger models, with the cause being the risk of broken gear shift cables (or difficulty shifting gears, loss of drive) due to the gear shift cable clamp being installed incorrectly, leading to friction with the cardan shaft (vertical shaft).
Accordingly, Ford Vietnam will recall 2,566 Ranger 2.2L vehicles (the 3.2L version is not affected) and all are versions using manual transmission (including two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions). The recalled vehicles were manufactured from June 5, 2015 to February 2, 2016.

| Only Ranger models with manual transmissions are affected by this recall. |
The recall and replacement (if necessary, including the shift cable and vertical axle) will take more than 1.5 hours at all official Ford dealers nationwide.
The entire cost of this recall will be borne by Ford Vietnam.
