Ford recalls over 230,000 Explorers for rollaway and axle bolt defects.

Ford is recalling over 230,000 Explorers from the 2020-2022 model years due to a rollaway risk if the parking brake is not applied. The recall is in response to a "disconnected driveshaft" issue that could cause the vehicle to roll away and potentially lead to a crash. Ford will repair the affected vehicles free of charge by replacing the rear axle bolt and subframe bushing, as well as inspecting the rear axle cover for damage. This recall comes after two complaints of faulty rear axle bolts were received by the Office of Defects Investigation.
