Details

What's wrong: The outboard section of a rear suspension toe link may fracture.

Why it matters: A rear toe link fracture can result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the cross-axis ball joint (cabj) knuckle attached to the rear suspension toe link and replace it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 27, 2020.
