A fracture of the SUV’s rear linkage can compromise the steering of the vehicle and lead to an accident
Ford issued a new recall on Wednesday for approximately 375,200 Explorer SUVs from 2013-2017 model years due to possible suspension failure The bulk of the recalled explorers are from the United States – 325,000 – while 25 200 more are part of the Canadian recall campaign
The automaker said the recall population is largely from areas of the United States and Canada where rust and corrosion are common The problem is the possibility of a fractured rear suspension toe link , which was already tinkered with in a previous safety recall, Ford said In the event of a fracture, drivers can lose control of the steering, increasing the risk of an accident
Notices should start sending out to owners shortly and if you receive one you will need to take your Explorer to a Ford or Lincoln service center There a technician will inspect and replace the transverse ball joint as needed. p>
