Land Rover recalls Range Rover due to production shutdown hazard
Nearly 17,000 Range Rovers are being recalled due to a cracked upper steering knuckle joint. December 3, 2024 — Nearly 17,000 Range Rovers are being recalled because the knuckle joints on the front suspension can crack and cause the suspension arms to separate. Recalled 2014-2016 Range Rovers may experience steering and stability issues if the suspension arms separate. In 2019, a Range Rover suffered a front suspension steering knuckle failure while driving at low speeds. Due to similar reports in Canada, Land Rover was contacted by Transport Canada, and more accidents followed. Engineers determined that the use of road salt would cause the steering knuckle to fail. Land Rover has received 12 claims over the past nine years, but no collisions or injuries have been reported. Land Rover dealers will inspect the front suspension knuckles and install mounting brackets, or possibly replace the knuckles. Owner recall letters are expected to be mailed out on January 3, 2025, but Range Rover…
Ford Mustang recalled due to broken rear suspension
Ford is recalling more than 5,200 Mustangs that could lose steering control. September 16, 2024 — Ford is recalling more than 5,200 Mustangs because the rear suspension knuckle could fail, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The recalled 2024 Ford Mustang rear suspension steering knuckles may have a casting defect that could weaken the components and cause the driver to lose vehicle handling and steering control. According to Ford: “When a parts supplier produces a steering knuckle, the debris filter may be improperly positioned during the casting process, causing slag to enter the part cavity and cause casting defects.” Ford learned of the issue through warranty reports of broken rear suspension knuckles in 2024 Mustangs, but has not received any reports of accidents or injuries. The driver may notice the rear tires leaning outward or inward when braking or applying more throttle. About 620 Ford Mustangs are being recalled in Canada. Ford dealers will inspect and possibly…
Ford F-650 and F-750 recalled over tie rod issue
The ball studs in Ford Super Duty trucks were not properly heat treated. July 5, 2024 — Ford is recalling more than 2,600 F-650 and F-750 Super Duty trucks because tie rods could break and cause the driver to lose control. The recalled 2025 Ford F-650 and F-750 trucks are equipped with front axle tie rod assemblies that may contain improperly heat-treated ball studs. This may cause the tie rod to break. According to Ford's recall documents: "The front axle of the affected vehicles may have improperly heat treated tie rod ball studs that may crack and break. Failure of the tie rod ball studs may cause the front axle tie rod to disconnect from the steering knuckle and the passenger side wheel may become disconnected from the steering system." Ford said the sub-supplier mixed a batch of ball studs that used an experimental heat treatment process, causing the problem. Truck owners should watch out for front-end noise or excessive…
