Starter battery and unwelded lower arms on the Transit / Tourneo Connect IIIKnown weak points
- Engine / equipment
- Third-generation Ford Transit / Tourneo Connect (built on the VW Caddy)
- Period mentioned
- 2022–2023
- Symptoms
- The engine will not start or starts reluctantly because of the battery; front-end knocks or, in the worst case, a broken lower arm.
- Possible cause described
- In ADAC’s breakdown statistics, the starter battery is the known cause of call-outs for Tourneo / Transit Connect vans registered in 2023. ADAC also lists a November 2022 recall: because of an assembly error, one or more welds may be missing on the lower arm, which can break (built from March to July 2022, 117 worldwide).
- Check for the garage
- Have the battery tested at the garage (especially if the van does short trips); check the lower-arm campaign by VIN on 2022-built vans.
