AFFECTED VEHICLES

Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates
Explorer 2013-2017 Chicago September 4, 2012 through September 30, 2017
Elabuga January 28, 2013 through July 28, 2017

 

NOTE: Some of the affected vehicles are also included in one or more of the following field service actions: 16S18, 17S11, 18S43, 19S17, or 20S62.  If affected, the Ford system will automatically close all of these programs upon claim payment of any of the listed programs.

 

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

Some of the affected vehicles exposed to a highly corrosive environment where road salt is used extensively during winter months, have experienced a seized toe link ball joint resulting in a fracture of the outboard section of the rear suspension toe link. A seized toe link ball joint can increase bending stresses in the toe link outboard of the turnbuckle. Rear toe link fracture while driving could result in unusual vehicle handling characteristics, or difficulty controlling the vehicle and may increase the risk of a crash.

 

SERVICE ACTION

Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to replace both rear suspension toe links, check alignment, and adjust rear toe. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of March 7, 2022. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

PLEASE NOTE:

Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery. 

 

SOLD VEHICLES

  • Ford has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this safety recall. Owners should contact their dealer for an appointment to have their vehicles remedied as soon as practicable. Owners can continue to safely drive their vehicles.
  • Immediately contact any of your affected customers whose vehicles are not on your VIN list but are identified in OASIS. Give the customer a copy of the Owner Notification Letter (when available) and schedule a service date.

CERTAIN 2013-2017 MODEL YEAR EXPLORER VEHICLES — REAR SUSPENSION TOE LINK REPLACEMENT

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

WARNING: Suspension fasteners are critical parts that affect performance of vital components and systems. Tighten fasteners as specified. Measure the distance from the center of the wheel hub to the lip of the fender with the vehicle in a level, static ground position (ride height) before disassembly. When securing the new toe link, it must be secured at the previously measured ride height.

WARNING: Tighten the suspension bushing fasteners with the suspension supported at ride height or with the weight of the vehicle resting on the wheels and tires, otherwise toe link and bushing damage may occur.

NOTE: This recall is to be performed on both the right rear and the left rear suspension.

NOTE: It is recommended to perform this entire procedure on an alignment rack.

1. Position the vehicle on an alignment rack. Please follow the WSM procedures in Section 100-02.

2. Raise the rear of the vehicle by lifting the lower coil spring leaf.

3. Remove both rear tires. Please follow the WSM procedures in Section 204-04A.

4. Remove and discard both rear toe links. See Figure 1.

1. Remove and discard the toe link-to-wheel knuckle bolts and nuts.

2. Remove and discard the toe link-to-subframe bolt and remove the toe links.

 

NOTE: Do not torque the fasteners at this time.

5. Install the new toe links by reversing the removal procedure. See Figure 1.

  • Only hand tighten the inboard fastener and snug the outboard retainer at this time.

6. Install both rear tires. Please follow the WSM procedures in Section 204-04A.

7. Lower the vehicle onto the alignment rack with the rear adjustment rack slip plates loose.

8. Tighten the inboard rear toe link bolts on both sides.

  • Torque: 111 lb.ft (150 Nm)

9. Set the tire pressure and perform an alignment and tighten the outboard bolt and nut on both sides. This completes the recall.

  • Torque: 111 lb.ft (150 Nm)

NOTE: the frame side of the new toe link has a slot that is used for the alignment process. See Figure 2.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Federal law prohibits selling motor vehicle parts or components that are under safety, compliance, or emissions recall. Unless a part is requested to be returned to Ford, all parts replaced under this FSA must be scrapped in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal environmental protection and hazardous material regulations. Refer to the Parts Retention, Return, & Scrapping section of the FSA dealer bulletin for further information.

 

Recommended Repair:

If 2011-2019 Ford Explorers or PIU vehicles require service of the rear wheel knuckle and/or rear wheel knuckle bushings, the recommended repair is to replace the affected rear wheel knuckle (5B758/9) as an assembly only. Refer to WSM, Section 204-02, and the Ford Service Parts Catalog as needed.

 

Issue: 

Ford has received reports of toe link failures on customer vehicles after the installation of non-OEM cross-axial ball joints (aka bushings) in the rear wheel knuckle. Installation of aftermarket bushings rather than replacement of the rear wheel knuckle assembly is not recommended, as this may limit the movement of the joint and cause stress on the toe link.  In the reports that Ford received, the toe links failed shortly after installation of an aftermarket bushing installed by the dealership.

Dealerships may have serviced rear wheel knuckles, including use of aftermarket bushings, as part of preventive maintenance.  These inspections and maintenance services sometimes took place as a separate customer paid repair when the vehicle was being serviced for the following FSAs: 19S17, 17G01, 16S18.  Because these repairs would occur as a customer paid repair directly to the dealership and not submitted to Ford for reimbursement, Ford does not have a record of how many of these repairs may have occurred.

 

Dealership Actions:

If your dealership performed repairs on the rear suspension of 2011-2019 Ford Explorers or PIU vehicles and installed aftermarket bushing(s) in the rear wheel knuckle instead of replacing the complete rear wheel knuckle assembly (at any time), you should identify all of the vehicles repaired with the aftermarket bushing(s), contact the customer, and replace the rear wheel knuckle as an assembly.  Failure to do this may result in a toe link fracture.  A fractured rear toe link will cause a sudden change in vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash.

 

FORD MOTOR COMPANY PROVIDES DETAILS ON THREE SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA

JUL 16, 2021 | DEARBORN, MICH.

DEARBORN, Mich., July 16, 2021 — Ford Motor Company today announced details of three safety recalls in North America.

 

Safety recall for certain 2020-2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty vehicles with 6.7-liter engine and single rear wheel axle for a rear axle housing spring seat interface weld issue
Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 34,939 Ford F-350 Super Duty vehicles with 6.7-liter engine and single rear wheel axle for a rear axle housing spring seat interface weld issue.

Affected vehicles may experience rear driveline disconnection. Customers may experience vibration and/or shaking while driving at highway speeds, and/or shuddering upon acceleration. In the event of a disconnected driveshaft, customers may experience loss of motive power while driving or loss of transmission park function if the parking brake is not applied, increasing the risk of a crash.

This action affects 34,855 vehicles in North America, with the remaining balance in Ford’s International Markets Group. Vehicles were built at Kentucky Truck Plant between Aug. 6, 2020 and May 15, 2021.

Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.

Owner notifications will begin the week of Aug. 16. Dealers will inspect rear axle to determine if deformation is present. If the axle is deformed, the axle housing will be replaced. If axle is not deformed, the dealer will perform a weld repair on the spring seats. The Ford reference number for this recall is 21S31.

 

Safety recall for select 2013-2017 Ford Explorer vehicles that may experience a seized cross-axis ball joint
Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 774,696 2013-2017 Ford Explorer vehicles that may experience a seized cross-axis ball joint that may cause a fractured rear suspension toe link. Affected vehicles may experience a clunk noise, unusual handling, or a misaligned rear wheel. Fracture of a rear toe link significantly diminishes steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

This action affects approximately 676,152 vehicles in North America, 59,935 in China, 25,257 in Ford’s International Markets Group, 13,162 in Europe and 190 in South America. In the U.S., the affected vehicles are located in high-corrosion states as defined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or in regions with a combination of cold winter weather with relative high humidity and substantial road salt use.

Vehicles were built at Chicago Assembly Plant between Sept. 4, 2012 and Sept. 30, 2017, and Elabuga Assembly Plant in Russia between Jan. 28, 2013 and July 28, 2017.

Ford is aware of six allegations of injury related to this condition in North America.

Owner notifications will begin the week of Aug. 23. Dealers will inspect the cross-axis ball joint, replace the cross-axis ball joint/knuckle as necessary, and replace the toe links with a revised design part. The Ford reference number for this recall is 21S32.

Ford is providing a customer satisfaction program for vehicles not sold or registered in corrosion states.

 

Safety recall for select 2020-2021 Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with 3.0-liter gas engines for improperly secured battery cable wire harnesses
Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 40,995 2020-2021 Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with 3.0-liter gas engines because the battery cable wire harness may not be properly secured, allowing contact with the A/C compressor pulley. Over time, the A/C pulley may rub through the wire harness insulation and contact the unfused battery positive (B+) circuit, resulting in a short circuit and potential fire.

This action affects approximately 36,258 vehicles in North America, 2,601 in Ford’s International Markets Group, and 2,136 in China.

Vehicles were built at Chicago Assembly Plant between June 19, 2019 and Jan. 5, 2021.

Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this concern.

Owner notifications will begin the week of July 30. Dealers will inspect the vehicle, and:

The Ford reference number for this recall is 21S34.

Recall: 21S32
2013-2017 Explorer Cross-Axis Ball Joint

Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination

Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.

 

During our investigation into reports of seized cross-axle ball joints on Explorers, we found that internal corrosion was the cause of the seizures.  However, we did not understand the factors that were causing the corrosion condition.  We shared this information with NHTSA and worked with the agency in our investigation.  To aid in our understanding of this condition, Ford approved action 20S62 (20V675) in October 2020 to conduct a torque inspection of the rear suspension cross-axis ball joint (CABJ) on Explorer vehicles in North American corrosion areas that had been remedied under prior actions (19S17, 17G01, 16S18).  Initial analysis had found that fractures could occur in the outboard section of the toe link, adjacent to the knuckle attachment, due to reverse bending fatigue under high stress conditions caused by a seized CABJ.  The remedy for those vehicles involved replacement of the CABJ/knuckle as necessary.

 

November 2020 – June 2021:  As stated in the Defect Information Report for 20S62, Ford continued its investigation into this subject.  As of June 08, 2021 Ford, has received 48 reports of rear toe link fracture caused by a seized CABJ on 2013-2017 MY Explorer vehicles in the United States, including 16 reports alleging loss of vehicle control and/or accident, with four allegations of injury. All reports involve vehicles operated primarily in corrosion states that use significant amounts of road salt in winter months.  Most of these vehicles had been remedied under prior actions and some (4) had not been remedied.  To date there have been no incidents on vehicles that were not included in the prior actions.

 

Explorer vehicles were designed and built with two separate CABJ designs for the rear toe link attachment.  To date, all incidents relating to this subject are on the CABJ design manufactured by ZF Friedrichshafen AG that was installed in vehicles produced from September 4, 2021 – September 2017.  No reports have been received on Explorer vehicles built after September 2017.  Those vehicles utilize a different CABJ design.

 

Since November 2020, Ford conducted extensive testing to evaluate the CABJ field performance, including visual and physical evaluation of parts obtained from complaint vehicles and of parts retrieved from non-complaint vehicles in multiple non-corrosion cities.  Investigation included bench testing, CAE evaluations and statistical Weibull analysis of field return parts and warranty data to predict sealing life.

 

Field Parts Analysis

The CABJ failure mechanism is a progressive buildup of corrosion in the joint that results from years of exposure to a highly corrosive environment where road salt is used extensively during winter months.  All field part samples with extensive corrosion had evidence of road salt.  All CABJs from corrosion regions evaluated exhibited seal and/or boot issues which allowed corrosive elements the enter the CABJ, resulting in some level of corrosion related degradation and increased torque.  No parts from non-corrosion regions exhibited seal or boot issues.  While low levels of corrosion in the CABJ do not pose a failure risk, those exposed to years of operation in regions with a combination of cold winter weather with relative high humidity and substantial road salt use showed high levels of corrosion that could potentially cause the CABJ to seize.

 

Corrosion vs. Non-Corrosion Areas

The difference between the samples from corrosion states compared to samples from non-corrosion states was stark.  No internal corrosion was found in any field return parts from non-corrosion regions.  Samples from corrosion regions had varying levels of internal corrosion.

Similarly, there are no reports of CABJ seizures from non-corrosion regions.  All reports of CABJ seizure are from vehicles operated primarily in corrosion regions.

 

CABJ Design Differences

Similarly, the field inspections found that a new CABJ design introduced in October 2017 has been successful in protecting the joint from internal corrosion and joint deterioration. Visual evaluation and physical testing of field return parts for the CABJ design used on vehicles produced after September 2017 found no evidence of CABJ deterioration similar to that found in the earlier design. No internal corrosion was found in any of the new design parts.  This change in performance is due to changes in the sealing system, corrosion resistant grease, and improved corrosion resistant components found in the new design.  And there are no reports of seizures in the newer population.

 

Throughout this investigation, Ford and NHTSA met weekly and monthly to discuss the status of Ford’s testing, test results, and conclusions.

 

On July 8, 2021, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.

 

Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries since the previous action 20S62 was launched.

 

Ford is providing a customer satisfaction program for vehicles not sold or registered in corrosion states.

 

October 27, 2021: Ford revised the number of vehicles potentially affected according to the latest registration information.

 

February 4, 2022: Ford revised the owner notification dates for parts availability.
