Critical accident warning from Ford: Thousands of vehicles recalled
A recall warning has been issued for Ford F-150 Ligthning models. Ford said there was an error in the vehicles that would cause the accident.
According to the reports, the problem is caused by the crankshaft. It is stated that the problem with the crankshaft can cause engine failure later on. But more importantly, a malfunction that causes oil and fuel leakage to the hot parts of the engine can cause a fire.
Ford states that there have been 23 fire cases from different parts of the world so far. Fortunately, no one was harmed in these fires. Ford emphasizes that fire failure is extremely rare. The rate of vehicles that may be a problem is stated as 17 per 100 thousand.
The specified vehicles will be directed to the nearest Ford service. However, Ford has not been able to solve the engine problem. Instead, extra air flow will be provided to prevent any ignition under the hood in order to prevent fires that may occur.
The company states that the problem was solved during the production phase. Accordingly, there is no similar problem in new model vehicles. The American automaker will begin to inform the owners of the affected vehicles as of August 8th. If your Ford branded vehicle is subject to recall from here you can learn.
