Local Residents Furious Over 2018-2022 Ford Safety Recall That Could Cause Fires—Why Is Common Sense Not Being Used Here?
Just drove past the dealership and saw another line of trucks being towed in for the 2018-2022 Ford safety recall. My neighbor’s Explorer caught fire in the driveway last week, and now Ford says it’s a 'minor issue.' Minor? Tell that to my burned-up lawn. Common sense says if your car smells like burning plastic or the engine light blinks, you park it and call a tow, not wait for a letter. I’ve seen three posts on here already about people ignoring the recall because 'it’s just a software update.' It’s not just software—it’s a fire hazard. Ford needs to recall every single one, not just partial VINs. My cousin’s 2020 F-150 had the same issue last month. Stop making excuses and fix the 2018-2022 Ford safety recall before someone gets killed.
