- The recall affects nearly 1.3 million vehicles from the 2018-2022 model years, including popular models like the Ford Explorer, F-150, and Lincoln Aviator.
- A critical rear suspension defect can cause the toe link to fracture, leading to sudden loss of steering control and an increased risk of crash.
- Ford has confirmed at least one injury linked to the faulty part, with dozens of complaints filed to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
- Owners will receive free repairs starting next month, including replacement of the suspect toe link or, in severe cases, the entire knuckle assembly.
