Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer), Explorer: Suspension

Affects Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer), Explorer · 2013–2017 — about 22K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles operated in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, soil properties unique to these areas could cause an accumulation of soil to occur at the attachment point of the rear suspension toe link. This could impede the toe link's travel, causing bending stresses and potential fracture. A fractured toe link would affect vehicle handling and could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the toe links with revised parts.
