Ford Pulls 387,000 Cars and Trucks for Repairs - Check Your Model

Ford Motor Company has issued a recall affecting more than 387,000 vehicles across several popular models, citing safety concerns that could lead to loss of steering control. The recall covers certain 2021-2023 Bronco SUVs, 2022-2023 Maverick pickups, and 2021-2023 Ford Transit vans, among others.

Owners should expect to hear from Ford soon, but they can also check their vehicle identification number on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.

The problem stems from a potential defect in the front suspension lateral arm, which may crack or break over time. If that happens, drivers could experience a sudden loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford says it has received a small number of reports related to the issue, but no injuries have been confirmed so far.

Dealers will inspect and replace the affected parts at no cost to owners.

For those driving a 2021-2023 Bronco, 2022-2023 Maverick, or 2021-2023 Transit, the recall is a serious matter. Ford also included some 2022 Lincoln Aviator and 2022-2023 Lincoln Corsair models in the action. The company will begin notifying owners by mail starting next month. In the meantime, anyone with concerns can contact Ford customer service or visit their local dealer for a free inspection.

Stay safe on the road, this is one recall you don’t want to ignore.
