"Ford Recalls 1.9 Million Explorer SUVs for Trim Piece Safety Issue"
Ford is recalling nearly 1.9 million Explorer SUVs in the U.S. due to a trim piece that can detach and pose a hazard to other drivers. The recall covers models from 2011 through 2019, and comes after U.S. regulators opened an investigation following consumer complaints. Ford initially decided against a recall, but changed course after regulators determined the problem was a safety hazard. The company expects only 5% of the recalled Explorers to be affected and encourages owners to contact dealers for inspection when parts are available.
