PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL:LINKAGE AND CABLE
Parking brake failure can result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
26 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 270 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Parking brake failure can result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the coupling fails, the vehicle will not be able to move under its own power and the disconnected driveshaft may impact and damage the brake and fuel lines. Additionally, the separated driveshaft may allow the vehicle to roll if the vehicle is exited when the transmission is in 'Park' but the parking brake is not applied. These scenarios may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.

If the wheelchair lift platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.
Two 2015 FORD TRANSITs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
