Summary
Certain vehicles may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205 - Glazing Materials.

Summary
*** This action is a Customer Satisfaction Campaign and is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.*** On certain vehicles, the headliner pushpin at the B-pillar may not absorb sufficient energy to conform to the U.S specific regulatory requirement for unbelted occupant protection in an interior impact. In the event of a crash, the headliner pushpin in this location may not provide the interior impact protection intended, increasing the risk of injury. Although Canadian vehicles comply with all Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, Ford Motor Company of Canada is voluntarily conducting this customer satisfaction program to reassure Transit Connect owners.
