Ford Issues Multiple Recalls Affecting Nearly 400,000 Vehicles, Including Heavy-Duty Trucks and SUVs.
Ford Motor Company has announced several recalls involving a total of nearly 400,000 vehicles, with over 295,000 heavy-duty pickup trucks included among them.
The automaker is recalling 295,449 units of its 2020-2022 F-Super Duty models, including the F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600 trucks, as well as its 2021-2022 F-650 and F-750 trucks.
