Auto recall: Ford recalls Rangers, F-150s and Super Duty trucks

Drive safely. Otherwise, your protection could shatter
Watch out for flying windshields. Two of Ford’s beloved models may have windshields that weren’t properly bonded into their frames. In other words, the windshields could pop off if you get into an accident.
That’s why Ford is recalling thousands of pickup trucks in America. Here are the specific vehicles with the issue:
- 2021 Ford F-150 vehicles made from Oct. 27, 2020, to Feb. 3, 2021, at the Dearborn Truck Plant
- 2020 and 2021 Ford Super Duty trucks made from Oct. 13, 2020, to Jan. 23, 2021, at the Kentucky Truck Plant
If you have one of these models, expect a notification in early April of this year. When you turn in your car, dealerships will remove and reinstall the windshield using the proper procedure.
This isn’t the first time Ford F-150s were recalled. A software glitch found last year endangered millions of drivers. Tap or click here for the full story.
