Ford Recalls 1.3 Million Vehicles

Ford says the rear suspension toe link can break if the suspension moves a lot, limiting steering control.

June 14, 2019

June 14, 2019—Ford is recalling over 1.3 million vehicles in North America to fix rear suspension and transmission control software problems, according to FOX6 NOW.

The recall covers over 1.2 million Explorer SUVs from 2011 through 2017. Dealers will replace the left and right toe links, which keep weight on the tires.

Ford is also recalling 123,000 F-150 models for a second time to stop transmissions from unintentionally downshifting into first gear. The recall covers pickups with 5-liter and 6.2-liter gas engines. A previous software update for the pickups didn’t fix the problem and will update it again.
