Ford
Unfortunately, Ford is no stranger to recalls. This time, the company is recalling six models for various reasons.
- In the first notice, the 2022 Bronco and Ranger models have a problem with the bonding on the windshield. This can cause the windshield to pop out during a crash.
- Then, some 2022 F-150 BEV models with 20-inch or 22-inch all-season tires have an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The problem is that the light might not come on when needed, failing to warn you of low tire pressure.
- The next recall notice involves certain 2022 Lincoln Aviator and Ford Explorer vehicles. Inspections found that some had engine rails that weren’t correctly heat-treated.
- Finally, Ford is recalling all Escape, Maverick, and Corsair models made between 2020 and 2022 with a 2.5-liter/plug-in hybrid engine due to a fire risk under the hood. When the engine fails, engine oil and fuel vapor can ignite.
