Attention, road warriors and daily commuters! Your trusty four-wheeled companion might need a health check-up.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has waved the red flag on over 45,000 vehicles from household names.
If you're behind the wheel of one of these brands, it's time to perk up and ensure your ride isn't on the recall roster.
Ford Issues Two Major Recalls
Ford has recalled a combined total of 37,823 vehicles under two separate campaigns.
The first affects certain 2020–2022 Escape and 2021–2023 Bronco Sport models that may have received incorrect repairs during a previous recall.
In these vehicles, a fuel injector could crack and leak, raising the risk of an engine fire.
The second recall targets 2020–2022 Explorer SUVs due to a rear axle horizontal mounting bolt that may fracture, potentially causing the driveshaft to disconnect.
Both recalls involve issues where the Powertrain Control Module software may not have been properly updated.
Ford dealers will address these problems by updating the software free of charge, and affected owners will begin receiving notification letters on April 24.
