Details

Issue: On certain vehicles, the outer ball joint for the rear suspension toe link may seize.

If this happens, the toe link could break while driving.

This could cause a sudden loss of vehicle stability.

Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a rear ball joint manufactured by ZF.

Safety Risk: A loss of vehicle stability could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the rear suspension toe links and inspect the ball joints.

If a ball joint requires replacement, the dealer will replace the rear suspension knuckle.
