DETROIT -- Ford announced a recall this week that impacts more than 375,000 Ford Explorer models that were sold in the U.S. and Canada. A problem with the suspension in the affected vehicles has caused 13 reported crashes in which six people were hurt, according to the Associated Press. Ford says the problem occurs in places where corrosion is common and the rear toe links can fracture. They were sold or registered in 22 states and six Canadian provinces where salt is used to clear roads, according to the AP. The vehicles were also sold in the following Canadian provinces: New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec.

Ford is recalling 375,000 Explorers due to a part that can break and lead to a crash. The recall affects Explorers from model years 2013 through 2017. Ford officials revealed the SUVs could have a fractured section of the rear suspension toe link. That can significantly diminish steering control and increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will complete an inspection and replace the part, if necessary, Ford said.
