Your Ford Could Be a Fire Hazard: Over Half a Million Trucks and SUVs Under Urgent 2018-2022 Ford Safety Recall
If you drive a 2018-2022 Ford F-150, Expedition, or Lincoln Navigator, your truck or SUV could be leaking transmission fluid onto hot exhaust parts—creating a serious risk of fire while you're driving. The 2018-2022 Ford safety recall, issued by Ford after dozens of reports of under-hood fires, now affects over 550,000 vehicles in the U.S. alone. Dealers will install a drain tube and seal for free, but if you don't get the fix, you're gambling with your daily driver and your garage. Worse, repairs won't start until April, so until then, your vehicle is a potential fire hazard in your own driveway. Check your VIN on Ford's site immediately, or you could be stuck with a burned-out vehicle and zero compensation from your insurance.
