Ford Motor Company, Receipt of Petition for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance
Ford petitioned NHTSA for a decision that certain 2022-2025 Transit vans noncompliant with FMVSS No. 101 (controls and displays) are inconsequential. No immediate dealer action required, but dealers should verify affected vehicles are not sold with noncompliant controls.
