Feds Investigate Ford Explorer Recall Complaints.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Ford's recall of almost 300,000 Explorer SUVs after two complaints that the vehicles behaved erratically after undergoing repairs. The recall was issued in April 2022 due to fractures in the rear axle mounting bolt, which can result in the drive shaft disconnecting. Ford claims to have remediated the issue after updating the vehicle software, but two owners of repaired recalled cars filed complaints with the NHTSA about losing control over their cars. No injuries were reported in their cases, although one car struck a utility pole.
