Ford has announced a series of recalls affecting more than 200,000 vehicles in the US due to various safety issues. The recalls include 6,909 Econoline vans with an inoperative defrosting and defogging system, and 163,256 Bronco SUVs with loose front seat bolts.
Additionally, 56,841 Lincoln and Explorer vehicles are being recalled because of air bubbles in the windshields. Ford stated it would replace the faulty parts free of charge. The company also issued a warning for over 175,000 Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator SUVs, and F-Series pickup trucks over moonroof deflectors that may detach.
Ford has received two reports of drivers struck by detached deflectors. This year, Ford has been the most frequently recalled automaker in the US, including a previous recall of 1.4 million vehicles over a backup camera issue that causes the screen to malfunction while reversing.
Owners can check if their vehicles are affected by visiting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website and entering their Vehicle Identification Number.
