Ford Issues Five New Vehicle Recalls

Newscast/UIG via Getty Images(DEARBORN, Mich.) — The Ford Motor Company has announced five new safety recalls in North America to fix a number of issues, including faulty brakes and sensors meant to engage airbags.
The largest of the recalls is for 135,000 model year 2014 F-150 pickups and Ford Flex crossovers. The problem stems from an issue in the passenger seat sensors that may inhibit airbag deployment in crashes.
The other recalls cover Crown Victorias, the Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Cars — model years 2005 through 2011 — for possible steering issues.
The auto maker says, in one instance, an accident has been “attributed to a condition” included in the recalls. However, no one has been injured as a result of the recalled conditions.
Ford’s latest recalls cover more than 202,000 vehicles.
Owners of Ford vehicles covered in the recalls can visit the company’s website for more details.
