Details

What's wrong: The rear suspension toe links may fracture due to stress on the rear suspension.

Why it matters: A fractured rear toe link will cause a sudden change in vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear suspension toe links, and inspect both rear toe link ball joints, replacing the rear wheel knuckle(s), if necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 26, 2019.
