PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL:LINKAGE AND CABLE
Parking brake failure can result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
19V767000
POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
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.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2016 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.
