Ford is recalling nearly 133,000 SUVs over two parts that can detach while the car is in motion, potentially causing a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rear door window bars and C-pillar trim, which is located near the back windows, may have insufficient adhesive bonding, which can allow the trim to break loose from the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The recall includes 132,914 Lincoln 2020-2025 Aviator vehicles. Ford estimates that 3.2% of these, or 4,250 cars, actually have the defect.<\/p>\n

Owners should bring their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer, where the faulty parts can be repaired or replaced free of charge, the automaker said.<\/p>\n

Ford said it expects to send notification letters to owners of the impacted vehicles by July 28. <\/p>\n

It will send second letters once the remedy is available.<\/p>\n

As of May 29, it was aware of 1,105 warranty claims of the window bars or trim separating from the vehicle. Ford took the faulty part out of production on May 30.<\/p>\n

The company said it is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to the defect.<\/p>\n

Drivers should keep an eye out, as they may notice the C-pillar applique and division bar start to separate from the vehicle, Ford said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ford is recalling nearly 133,000 SUVs over two parts that can detach while the car is in motion,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":11413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,2332,9649,12310,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-11412","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-car","10":"tag-ford","11":"tag-recalls","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114739768423879653","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
