Update: Ford Motor Recalls 412,774 Explorers Over Suspension Part Concerns

MT Newswires Live02-25 18:27

(Updates with Ford's response in the fifth paragraph.)

Ford Motor (F) has recalled 412,774 Explorer sport-utility vehicles produced between 2017 and 2019 over concerns equipped with cross-axis ball joint parts and rear suspension toe links that "may fracture under certain loading conditions," the National Highway Safety and Transportation Authority said in a notice that appeared this week.

The regulator said in the Feb. 20 notice that a fracture of the rear toe link "diminishes steering control, increasing the risk of a crash."

The regulator said it reached out to Ford after receiving five vehicle owner questionnaires describing a loss of control while driving as a result of a failed rear toe link on 2018 Explorers.

Ford afterward identified 26 reports of rear toe link fractures and is aware of two accidents possibly related to the defect, neither of which resulted in injuries, the regulator said.

Ford said in an email to MT Newswires that Ford and Lincoln dealers will replace the rear suspension toe links with a "revised, stronger design at no cost to the customer" to remedy the possible defect.
