Ford Motor Company issued four new safety recalls involving 2018 and 2019 vehicles.
According to the company’s website, the following vehicles are involved in the recall:
- select 2018 Ford Explorer vehicles with 2.3-liter or 3.5-liter GTDI engines for a mis-assembled fuel pressure sensor
- select 2019 Ford Super Duty vehicles for transmission casings
- select 2018 Ford Expedition and 2018 Lincoln Navigator vehicles with second-row bench seats for missing j-channel brackets
- select 2019 Lincoln Nautilus vehicles without adaptive front steering to replace driver airbag modules
About 160 2018 Ford Explorer vehicles are being recalled for a “misassembled fuel pressure sensor that may result in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire,” according to the website. Ford says they are “not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires resulting from this condition.” Impacted vehicles, about 144 in the United States and its territories and about 16 in Canada, were built at the Chicago Assembly Plant from July 29-31, 2018. The reference number for this recall is 18S35.
Ford issued a recall for about four 2019 Ford Super Duty vehicles in the US for “a transmission casing that may be missing material around the casting where the park pawl engages the transmission,,” says Ford’s website. “This could cause a vehicle to move while in park, increasing the risk of injury.” Vehicles affected by this recall were built at the Kentucky Truck Plant from August 21 to August 23, 2018. The reference number for this recall is 18S36.
About 38,000 2018 Ford Expedition and 2018 Lincoln Navigator vehicles are also included in a recall. These vehicles are being recalled because of “second-row center bench seats that may be missing J-channel reinforcement brackets in the seat track assembly. A seat track missing one or both J-channel reinforcement brackets may not properly restrain the seat assembly during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.” Impacted vehicles include 2018 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant from March 14, 2017 to August 18, 2018 and 2018 Lincoln Navigator vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant from March 31, 2017 to August 18, 2018. The reference number for this recall is 18S37.
Ford also issued a recall for about 271 2019 Lincoln Nautilis vehicles “without adaptive front steering to replace driver airbag modules that may have improperly injection-molded plastic covers that may separate during deployment, increasing risk of injury in a crash.” Impacted vehicles include 2019 vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant from October 11-19, 2018. The reference number of this recall is 18S38.
