Ford announced Friday it is recalling about 775,000 Explorer vehicles due to a problem in the rear of the car that can reduce steering control and increase crash risk.<\/p>\n

The automaker will address a joint issue in the popular sport utility vehicle that can lead to a fractured “toe link” in the back of the auto, the company said in a press release.<\/p>\n

“Affected vehicles may experience a clunk noise, unusual handling, or a misaligned rear wheel,” Ford said. <\/p>\n

A fracture “significantly diminishes steering control, increasing the risk of a crash,” the company.<\/p>\n

More than 85 percent of the affected autos are in North America, with the rest coming from China and other international markets.<\/p>\n

The vehicles were built at plants in Chicago and at a Russian plant between 2013 and 2017. Ford said it knows of six allegations of injury related to the issue in North America.<\/p>\n

The Explorer was Ford’s top-selling SUV in the United States in the first half of 2021.<\/p>\n

Ford also announced two other smaller recalls.<\/p>\n

It recalled about 35,000 2020 F-350 pickup trucks due to a weld issue at the rear of the vehicle and about 41,000 2020-21 Lincoln Aviators due to improperly secured battery cable wire harnesses. Ford said it knows of no injuries in either case.\n <\/p>\n\n
