Ford vehicles recalled in Canada over issues with brakes, steering
CTV
Several Ford vehicles have been recalled in Canada due to issues with braking systems, steering and child car seat tethers.
Certain Ford vehicles are being recalled over concerns about brakes, loose parts and child seats that could increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Transport Canada highlighted one of the recalls updated on its website Wednesday. It said the wrong software update may have been sent for the antilock braking system for the Ford Mustang Mach-E 2021 model. This could result in safety systems not working and increase the possibility of a crash, it wrote.
For example, the loss of power brake assist could cause a "sudden increase in brake pedal force and lead to an increase in stopping distance," according to Transport Canada's website.
Transport Canada also included another Ford recall for certain light trucks, vans and SUVs over steering concerns.
In the separate recall updated Wednesday, it said there's a risk of losing steering control that could lead to a crash because of potentially loose parts.
The affected Ford vehicles are the Bronco 2024 model and the Ranger 2024 model.
"On certain vehicles, the nuts for the ball joints that connect the front upper control arms to the steering knuckles may not have been properly tightened," the department wrote. "As a result, the upper control arm could separate from the knuckle."
