Ford F-150
Ford is recalling some 37,000 2015 Ford F-150 pickup trucks for a potential issue with the adaptive cruise control.
The company said that when passing "a large, heavily reflective truck," the radar in the adaptive cruise could incorrectly identify the truck as being in the F-150's lane of travel. The F-150 could then automatically apply the brakes until the adaptive cruise system system no longer believes this to be the case.
Ford said it received a report of one accident related to this issue. No injuries were reported.
The recall affects certain 2015 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant, March 18, 2014 through Aug. 5, 2015, and at Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 11, 2014 through Aug. 6, 2015.
It includes 36,857 trucks in North America, including 33,481 in the U.S.
Dealers will update the adaptive cruise software at no cost.
Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Explorer
The company is recalling about 250 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS cars from the 2015 model year, as well as certain 2016 Ford Explorers, for a potential issue with fuel tank attachment bolts that may not be properly tightened.
If the bolts are not properly attached, the fuel tank straps could break over an extended amount of time, causing the fuel tank to separate from the vehicle and ultimately leading to a fuel leak, Ford said. This could lead to a fire.
Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to the issue.
Affected vehicles were built at Chicago Assembly Plant on July 24, 2015.
Dealers will properly tighten the volts for free.
Ford F-53 and F-59
Ford is recalling about 1,500 Ford F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis vehicles from the 2016 model year for a potential issue with a shift control bracket. The bracket may have been improperly manufactured, and could allow the vehicle to be shifted in to reverse without the driver applying the brakes.
Ford knows of no accidents or injuries related to the issue.
Affected vehicles were built at Detroit Chassis Plant, June 1, 2015 through Aug. 11, 2015.
Dealers will replace the shift control bracket for free.
Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ
Ford said a compliance recall covers about 700 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2016 model year. The recall involves a fuel tank that may have been improperly built and could crack in a crash.
Ford is aware of no accidents, injuries or fires related to the issue.
Affected vehicles include certain 2016 Ford Fusion vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Sept. 3, 2015 through Sept. 13, 2015, and certain 2016 Lincoln MKZ vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Sept. 3, 2015 through Sept. 12, 2015.
Dealers will replace the fuel tanks in affected cars for free.
