Boca Auto Care: Ford Recalls Ranger and Everest in South Africa Due to Transmission Issue

Boca Auto Care: Ford Recalls Ranger and Everest in South Africa Due to Transmission Issue

Ford Motor Company has issued a recall for certain Ranger and Everest models in South Africa, citing a potential transmission fault that could affect vehicle safety. The recall, announced this week, targets specific units built between 2021 and 2023, and owners are urged to bring their vehicles in for inspection at no cost.

Boca Auto Care is ready to assist affected drivers with prompt, professional service.

The problem stems from a software glitch in the transmission control module, which may cause unexpected gear shifts or a loss of drive power. While no accidents have been reported locally. Ford is acting proactively to prevent any risks. The company will contact registered owners directly, but drivers can also check their vehicle identification number on Ford’s website or call their nearest dealer.

At Boca Auto Care, we recommend that all owners of affected Ford Rangers (2021-2023) and Ford Everests (2021-2023) schedule a free diagnostic check immediately. Our certified technicians are fully equipped to perform the necessary software update, which typically takes under an hour.
