NCC recalls Ford Ranger over faulty control arm
Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa notified the National Consumer Commission (NCC) of a recall for the Ford Ranger model sold in 2024.
This is due to the front lower control arm that may have been fitted on the left-hand side of the vehicle instead of the correct front lower control arm.
These vehicles were distributed nationally and exported to Namibia, Botswana, and Swaziland.
NCC Head of Complaints and Investigations Prudence Moilwa said this could lead to loss of vehicle control and possible injury.
"The separation of the joint may result in loss of control of the affected wheel, with the corresponding effect on the vehicle handling increasing. This may increase the risk of a crash or injury."
NCC urged consumers to contact the nearest authorised dealership for an appointment to have the defect repaired.
