FORD RECALLS EXPLORER, TAURUS AND POLICE INTERCEPTORS

August 31, 2017 — Ford says about 263 model year 2017 Ford Explorer, Taurus, Police Interceptor Utility and Interceptor sedans need to come back to dealers to fix steering gear heat shield fasteners.

Ford says the steering gear heat shield fasteners may not be protected enough from corrosion. This can cause the shields to corrode and detach from the steering gears and expose the parts to high temperatures.

Power steering can be lost if the electrical connectors for the steering gears melt, causing a message to appear that says, "Service Power Steering Now."

The loss of power steering can occur with warning and cause the vehicle to return to manual steering, something that can cause problems if the vehicle is traveling slow or around a curve. However, the automaker doesn't know of any crashes or injuries associated with the defects.

The recall includes about 253 vehicles in the U.S., nine in Canada and one in Mexico.

Ford didn't announce when the recall will begin, but dealerships will need to replace any affected steering gear heat shield fasteners. Z  :(

FORD RECALLS F-150 AND MUSTANG OVER DEADLY AIRBAGS.

August 31, 2017 — Ford is recalling about 935 model year 2017 Ford F-150 and Mustang vehicles because the passenger airbag inflators can explode.  ???

As expected, Takata is involved in the problem, but the dangerous inflators are supplied by ARC Automotive, a company that is the focus of a federal investigation.

Takata uses the inflators in airbag modules and contacted Ford about an abnormal deployment of a passenger-side ARC airbag inflator.

The ARC inflator can explode when the front passenger airbag deploys, sending metal fragments into vehicle occupants. Z
