Ford recalls 100,610 vehicles in North America

FORD Motor Co said yesterday it is recalling 100,610 vehicles in North America in six separate actions.

About 92,000 of the vehicles have a potential problem with front axles that run to right wheels and may have not been properly installed during assembly. That may cause the axle to move outward over time and eventually become disengaged.

There have been no injuries, crashes or deaths related to this issue or any of the six issues in the half dozen recalls, a Ford spokeswoman said.

The front right axle issue is a potential hazard in 2013-2014 Ford Taurus, Flex, and Interceptor models, as well as Lincoln MKS and MKT models, and 2012-2014 Ford Edge and 2014 Lincoln MKX models.

About 83,000 of the recalled vehicles are in the United States and federalized territories, along with about 8,200 in Canada and 600 in Mexico, Ford said.

The next-largest recall among the six announced yesterday covers about 5,264 model year 2011-2014 Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis vehicles in which the electrical system may short-circuit and possibly lead to a fire. No fires have been reported, Ford said.
