Ford Motors Co said on Friday it was recalling around 775,000 Ford Explorer SUVs globally for a steering defect connected to reports of six injuries in North America.
The recall covers 2013-2017 model year vehicles that may encounter a seized cross axis that could cause a fractured rear suspension toe link, , which could fundamentally decrease steering control, increasing the danger of an accident.
The recall covers 676,152 vehicles in North America, 59,935 in China and 38,600 in other locations. The U.S. vehicles are in high-rust states.
Owner notices will start in late August. Vendors will investigate cross-axis ball joints and supplant if necessary and supplant the toe links with an overhauled part.
Ford gave two other little recalls on Friday, virtually every one of them in North America. One is for around 35,000 2020-2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty vehicles with 6.7-liter motors and single rear tire wheel axle spring seat interface weld issue.
Ford is additionally recalling 41,000 2020-2021 Lincoln Aviator vehicles outfitted with 3.0-liter gas engines in light of the fact that the battery link wire bridle may not be properly secured.
The issue could bring about a short circuit and possible fire. Ford doesn’t know about any mishaps, injuries or fires identified with the two more modest recalls.
