The 2017 Ford Explorer has several NHTSA-documented recalls that pose real safety risks if left unaddressed, including fractured rear suspension toe links that can cause a sudden loss of steering control and axle support bracket failures that can result in unintended vehicle movement or loss of motive power. Fuel-system related recalls also appear in the record — cracked fuel delivery modules and leaking fuel components can increase the risk of fire. Additionally, seat and seat-back recliner defects may reduce occupant restraint strength during a crash. Addressing these issues promptly protects you, your passengers, and other road users.
