Ford and Lincoln Recall: Thousands at Risk of Unintended Rollaway

Ford Motor Company has issued a sweeping recall affecting tens of thousands of Ford and Lincoln vehicles due to a defect that could cause the cars to roll away unexpectedly. The recall covers select models from the 2020 to 2022 model years, including the Ford Escape, Ford Bronco Sport, and Lincoln Corsair.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a faulty bushing in the rear suspension may degrade over time, leading to a loss of vehicle stability and, in some cases, allowing the car to move even when parked.

The problem stems from a rear suspension toe link that can fracture, which not only compromises handling but also increases the risk of a rollaway if the parking brake is not engaged. Ford has reported at least one injury linked to the defect, though no fatalities have been recorded as of this writing.

Owners of affected vehicles will be notified starting next month, and dealers will replace the defective toe link bushings free of charge. If you own one of these models and notice unusual handling or hear a clunking noise from the rear, experts recommend parking on level ground and using the parking brake until repairs are made.
