Ford is recalling over 1.3 million vehicles to fix rear suspension and transmission control software problems.
The recall covers over 1.2 million Explorer SUVs manufactured between 2011 and 2017. Ford says a rear suspension toe link can break if the suspension moves a lot, limiting steering control.
Ford says it’s not aware of any injuries related to the defect.
Dealers will replace the left and right toe links, which keep weight on the tires.
Ford also is recalling 123,000 2013 F-150 pickups for a second time to stop transmissions from unintentionally downshifting into first gear. The recall covers pickups with 5-liter and 6.2-liter gas engines. A previous software update didn’t work, but dealers will update it again.
