Ford to withdraw approximately 550,000 vehicles in the U.S. due to potential safety concerns.
Ford's Troubles with Recalls
Hey there! Let's dig into the latest automotive news surrounding Ford. It seems the Maverick pickups are facing an issue with airbag indicator lights, apparently hidden in a spot where passengers might not spot them easily.
Moving on to another issue, Ford is recalling nearly half a million Explorer models due to a potential door trim detachment risk during movement. Scary stuff, huh?
Recently, Reuters reported that Ford is recalling 29,500 F-150 Lightning BEV vehicles, made in 2024-2025, due to a detached control arm that could snatch steering control right out from under you.

Now, let's dive deeper into the details of this F-150 Lightning BEV recall. The problem? Improperly torqued nuts on the ball joints of the front upper control arms, which can cause the arm to pop off from the knuckle assembly. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, since this separation can compromise steering control and up the odds of accidents.
For the record, Ford hasn't reported any accidents or injuries linked to this issue, but there was one case involving a 2024 model where the front wheel decided to take a trip of its own. The affected vehicles were built between February 14, 2024, and April 14, 2025.
Good news for the owners, though! They'll get notifications from Ford starting June 9, 2025. Dealers will inspect and replace the nut and/or knuckle assembly at no cost to you.
