Ford Motor Recalls 520,000 Ford Fusion Sedans, Lincoln MKZ Luxury Cars, Ford Edge Crossovers Days After Major Recall For Sketchy Doors

Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday it was recalling nearly 600,000 cars and crossover SUVs, led by a notice to certain Ford car owners who could encounter sudden power steering loss linked to the heavy use of road salts in areas of the U.S. that encounter heavy annual snowfall.

“Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 520,000 2013-15 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles and certain 2015 Ford Edge vehicles in corrosion states and provinces in North America,” the company said in a statement. Salt could prematurely corrode the bolts used to affix the power-steering engine. If the bolts fail, the engine could disengage and drivers could suddenly find it harder to steer the vehicle, increasing the chance of accidents. No incidents linked to the flaw have been reported.

Automakers tend to voluntarily issue recalls to avoid the bad publicity that emerges when the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) demands safety-related recalls.

Ford said last week it was recalling 336,873 vehicles in the U.S. to ensure doors don’t swing open unexpectedly. The problem is similar to one identified by Ford earlier this year in nearly 400,000 other cars and SUVs.
