TL:DR
Ford's in its recall era, fr fr. Super Duty trucks got a "DO NOT DRIVE" warning, Mach-Es might roll away on their own, and Broncos are straight-up tweakin'. Plus, Explorers and Aviators got seat issues. It's a whole mess, fam. And don't even get me STARTED on the tire pressure issues for Lightning owners up North. Stay safe out there, bestie!
The Tea is PIPING
Okay, so Ford's been kinda sus lately, dropping recalls like it's their job. Like, seven recalls in one go? That's a lot of Ls, tbh.
Super Duty Trucks: Big Yikes π¬
First up, the Super Duty trucks. This is a major red flag, y'all. Ford straight-up issued a "DO NOT DRIVE" warning for 2,345 of these bad boys. Apparently, some of them might be missing a spring in the brakes, which could cause the whole system to fail. That's a big NOPE. Ford's advising everyone to keep their trucks parked until they get it fixed, stat. They're gonna send out mail to notify those affected.
Mustang Mach-E: Rollin' (Away) in the Deep ππ¨
Next, the Mustang Mach-E. We got TWO recalls here, smh.
- Roll-Away Risk: 276 Mach-Es might just decide to go for a joyride without you. Apparently, the "Park" mode might not actually, you know, PARK. Big time sus.
- Rear Door Drama: And hold up, 197,432 Mach-Es could trap passengers in the back if the battery's low and the driver bails first. Like, what?! That's straight-up horror movie vibes.
Bronco: Wildin' Out π΄
The Bronco's also catching strays with two recalls:
- Child Safety Lock Fail: 27,768 Broncos might let the rear doors pop open, even if the child safety lock is on. That's a major safety hazard.
- Airbag Issues: Another 2,272 Broncos got a potential airbag problem. No one wants their airbag deploying at random.
Explorer and Aviator: Seat Shenanigans πΊ
304,662 Explorers and Lincoln Aviators might have seats that move when they're not supposed to. Imagine vibin' and then your seat decides to yeet you forward. So not the vibe.
F-150 Lightning: Low-Pressure Situation π‘
And for all my Canadian besties, 11 F-150 Lightnings might not show the tire pressure warning until it's, like, dangerously low. Stay safe out there, maple leaf fam!
Ford dealerships will inspect and repair these vehicles for free. If you own one of these models, keep an eye on your mailbox and stay safe. βοΈ
Honda's Joining the Party π
Hold up besties, Honda is now entering the chat with a recall of their own, affecting 260,000 vehicles. Apparently there's a defect with the brake pedal pivot pin that may cause the pedal to shift out of place. Ford's not the only one wildin' out here!
