Ford Recalls Explorer Vehicles

The Ford Motor Company has announced a recall for 2016-2019 Explorer vehicles.  620,483 vehicles are being recalled for a faulty roof rail cover that can become detached.  If the rail cover separates from the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion, it can become a flying hazard for other drivers and their passengers.  Affected vehicles include base models, XLT, police interceptor, and Explorer Sport.  The rail covers are painted silver, black or absolute black.  Dealers will secure the rail covers with plastic push pins.  Owner notification is expected to begin during the week of June 28.  Ford’s reference number for this campaign is 21S22.  For additional information, owners can contact Ford by calling 1-800-392-3673.
