Ford is facing a class action lawsuit over the recall affecting the off-road performance of the Transit Trail model.
The recall involved replacing the 30.5-inch tires with smaller 28.5-inch ones, reducing the vehicle's ground clearance.
The lawsuit alleges the recall compromised the primary benefit of the Transit Trail model and claims Ford intentionally hid the safety defect.
Ford introduced the Transit Trail in 2022 with features like increased ride height and larger all-terrain tires, but the recall impacted its performance.
