Ford Issues Four Recalls Covering Nearly 600000 Vehicles - The Consumerist
Ford announced today that it plans to recall 591,000 vehicles in North America for issues including difficulty steering, fuel pump seizure, and fire risks. The first recall involves 518,313 model year 2013 to 2015 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ and some 2015 Ford Edge crossover vehicles equipped with steering gear motor attachment bolts that may break due to corrosion. If the bolt breaks, the steering system in the car would default to manual mode, making it more difficult to steer. While Ford says that the issue does not cause total loss of steering, the problem can increase the likelihood of a crash. The second recall involves 50,157 model year 2014 Ford Focus, Edge, Escape and Transit Connect vehicles and model year 2014 to 2015 Ford Fiesta vehicles that may have nickel plating that can cause the fuel pump to seize, leading to the vehicle... Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module for owners of affected vehicles. Ford also issued a recall of 22,600 model year 2015 Lincoln MKZ vehicles with headlights that might be brighter than regulations allow. The final recall involves a much small number of vehicles, just 91 model year 2015 Ford F-150 trucks that may have an increased risk of catching fire. Source: consumerist.com
