Ford Issues Recall for<br />1.3 Million SUVs and Pickups Over 1.2 million Ford Explorers from model<br />years 2011 through 2017 are being recalled<br />due to issues with their suspension systems. The SUVs are reportedly experiencing a<br />fractured toe link on the rear suspension. This defect has the ability to inhibit steering<br />and increase the risk of an accident. There have not yet been any reported<br />injuries related to the faulty toe link. 123,000 Ford F-150 pickups from 2013 have<br />also been recalled due to an issue with their<br />six-speed automatic transmissions. The vehicles have the possibility of experiencing<br />an unintentional downshift into first gear. Ford plans to spend $180 million in repairs on<br />all recalled cars, at no cost to the car’s owner.
