Recall Alert: Ford Vehicle Seatbelt Issues and DO NOT DRIVE Warning

First, we learned about a seat belt recall for certain Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles with model years 2018 through 2022. You can read more about that HERE.

Now, there comes a DO NOT DRIVE WARNING for approximately 4,000 Ford vehicles. This seems to be from the lower control arm ball joint that may have been incorrectly installed or repaired, resulting in the control arm disconnecting from the front wheel knuckle. The seriousness of that could cause accidents.

Ford owners of the impacted vehicles will receive letters that are due to go out by June 5, 2026. Those impacted are certain Frod Bronco Sport models from 2021 to 2026 and Ford Mavericks from 2022 to 2026.
