Ford issues multiple SUV recalls over fire, rollaway and seat risks
Fire hazard warning: Over 565,000 Broncos and Bronco Raptors are recalled for wiring harness damage that can spark engine fires, with owners told not to drive or park indoors.
Rollaway risk: More than 741,000 Expeditions and Navigators face a park system defect that can let vehicles move in 'Park,' prompting a software fix and urgent parking precautions.
Seat safety flaw: Nearly 400,000 Explorers and Aviators have rear seats that may not lock, risking passenger injury; dealers will inspect and repair at no cost.
Ford truck and car transmission troubles
Widespread complaints: Ford’s 10R80, DPS6, and hybrid truck transmissions have generated thousands of owner reports of hard shifts, hesitation, and loss of power.
Manufacturer action: Ford issued multiple Technical Service Bulletins, recalls, and design updates, but not all owners feel the fixes fully resolved the issues.
Ongoing impact: Litigation, warranty costs, and damaged consumer trust continue to affect Ford’s balance sheet and reputation.
