Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 412,774 Explorer vehicles from the 2017-2019 model years because the rear suspension toe links may fracture. A fracture in this part can cause a sudden loss of steering control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. Ford dealers will replace the affected toe links with new parts free of charge to the owner.
If a rear toe link fractures while driving, it can lead to a loss of steering control in the rear of the vehicle, making it difficult for the driver to maintain the intended path and increasing the likelihood of an accident.
Free replacement of rear suspension toe links.
This recall is an expansion of previous NHTSA recall number 21V537.
