Two Ford Transit Connect Owners have filed a lawsuit against Ford claiming that the dealership fail to install the recalled shifter cable bushing, did not replace the bushing or did not install a protective sleeve or the sleeve simply fell off.

Just to let any other TC owners know, that if you're encountering this type of issue with your dealership, You need to order a replacement bushing from bushingfix.com and keep one in your in van tool kit. Also, Important, Do not panic if you've gotten one of these recall noticed.. even though Ford list all Transit Connect years etc.. Ours 2020 Connect is NOT listed because we happen to have the 8 speed autotrans and NOT the 6 speed autotrans which is listed within the recall. order that replacement bushing and keep it in the van. If the installation of the bushing is needed, this is something anyone can do because there are plenty of bushing installation videos on youtube.
