Ford · Passenger car – Ford Transit

This product poses a serious risk of injuries because the timing belt tensioner does not correspond to specifications and may not function correctly, causing slack in the belt. As a result of this, the belt may jump over the teeth of the camshaft gear, causing contact between the valve and the piston and serious damage to the engine.
