Summary

Some 2020 Edge/Nautilus/Escape/Corsair/Transit Connect vehicles with and 8F35/8F40 transmission built on or before 30-Sep-2020 may exhibit an illuminated powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0741 and/or P1744 present or stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to the torque converter and a pump stator bushing leak. Replacement of only the torque converter and/or the main control may not resolve the concern. To correct the condition, replace the following components: the torque converter, fluid pump assembly, both fluid filters, main control, input shaft, and flush the transmission cooling system.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 468 complaints in the transmission category.
