Warlock- Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Ford recalled 1.2 million Explorer vans for a problem with the suspension. The recalled trucks are from 2011 to 2017 models. Ford said that cars that travel frequently on difficult terrain may experience a fractured steering end on their rear suspension, which may affect the steering and increase the risk of an accident. Ford said a customer reported hitting a curb when the steering terminal broke, but he is not aware of any related injuries. Ford said it will spend about 180 million dollars to solve the problem, which will be done at no cost to the owners of the cars. Ford also announced three more smaller recalls. One is 12,000 Ford Taurus and Flex cars, as well as Lincoln MKS and MKT vehicles sold in Canada. They have a similar problem with their address terminals. Ford said he is aware of an accident with minor injuries associated with the problem. Affected vehicles range from the 2009 model year to 2017. Ford also removed 123,000 Ford F-150 trucks in 2013 with 6-speed automatic transmissions that could potentially go down at first gear unintentionally. And it is withdrawing 4,300 Ford Econoline vehicles from the years 2009 to 2016 that are used as ambulances or school buses. Those vehicles have a weld on the clutch that could fail, preventing them from moving. The automaker Ford Motors Co. (NASDAQ: F) reported Monday that it will cut 7,000 high-rated jobs as part of a massive Ford restructuring plan. The company says that it will save approximately US $ 600 million per year.
