Ford (F) & General Motors (GM) Announce Series of Recalls
Read MoreHide Full Article
Two auto giants, Ford Motor (F - Free Report) and General Motors (GM - Free Report) , have decided to recall some of their models on complaints and issues related to damaged parts or certain features that compromise the safety of other drivers on the roads.
Ford has announced that it is recalling nearly 215,000 pickup trucks and large sports utility vehicles (SUVs) in the United States and Canada on issues of brake fluid leak that can cause longer stopping distances. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that fluid could leak from the brake master cylinder of the vehicle. Ford has confirmed four low-speed crashes, but there aren’t any injuries yet.
The recall covers the F-150 pickup models from 2016 through 2018, as well as Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs from 2016 and 2017.
Per official documents, dealers will restore the master cylinder and front brake booster if needed. Vehicle owners will be notified by letters, beginning Apr 25. The present recall marks Ford's third for the same problem, the previous ones being in 2016 and 2020.
Meanwhile, Ford’s closest peer, General Motors, also recently announced that it will recall an estimated 740,000 SUVs because the headlights are too bright and have been a cause of concern for other vehicles on the road. According to reports, certain models of GMC Terrain SUVs from 2010 through 2017 are impacted.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has said that headlight glares reduce visibility for other drivers and increase the chances of a crash. The company is yet to come to a mitigating measure for the problem. Affected customers will be notified via letters starting Apr 23.
