DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 27, 2016 – Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for 83 2016 Ford E-Series cutaway and chassis cab vehicles in North America for a potential issue with the trailer brake controller. Under certain conditions, a driver may lose trailer braking function at a stop, which could result in extended braking distance, increasing the risk of a crash. Vehicle braking is not affected.
There are 75 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and eight in Canada.
Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.
Dealers will update the powertrain control module software at no cost to the customer.

The Versatran Retriever - Another 4,000 lbs., No Problem
Introduced in 2012 the 4th Generation (G4 Series) Retriever is the simplest, strongest, most efficient and easiest to use Retriever yet. Among the many benefits of the 15-ton and 20-ton Retriever's simplicity is strength. Retrievers are at least as strong as anything on the market in their respective class's and, at the same time, weigh 2,000 to 4,000 lbs less than conventionally designed products. To you that means 2,000 to 4,000 lbs. more legal payload and that's what really matters. Add to that near zero maintenance, never a hydraulic leak or spill, efficient operation no matter how cold it gets and the list goes on, what's not to like?
Give me a call, I'd love to talk with you about all of the advantages of Retrievers.
All the Best
