Three recalls cover 1.3 million vehicles in North America, the fourth safety recall covers vehicles in Canada.

Ford says a rear suspension toe link fracture can significantly diminish steering control increasing the risk of a crash. Ford will remove and replace left and right-hand rear suspension toe link.

Ford is not aware of any report or accidents or injuries linking to the F-150 vehicles issue. The company will reprogram the powertrain control module with the appropriate software calibration.
