Ford Canada issues recall on certain electric F-150 trucks
Ford Canada has issued a national recall notice on certain F-150 Lightning electric trucks over steering wheel control concerns. According to the notice published by Transport Canada and last updated Thursday, 'the nuts for the ball joints that connect the front upper control arms to the steering knuckles may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the upper control arms could separate from the knuckles. If this happens, there could be a loss of steering control,' the recall reads. Affected models include 2023, 2024 and 2025 F-150 trucks, for a total of 11,409 vehicles, nationwide. A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash, the recall notes. Ford will notify and advise owners via mail to bring their vehicle to a dealership to inspect for loose and/or missing nuts. If any are found, the dealer will replace the steering knuckle(s) and nut(s), according to the notice. Transport Canada says the Thursday notice replaces recall #2024-778, noting that vehicles that were repaired under that recall don't require this repair. Owners of this model can also call Ford at 1-800-565-3673 or visit their recall support website for more information. READ MORE: Have a Ford SUV or truck? These two recalls could affect you

(AP Photo/David Zalubowski) Transport Canada has published updated auto recalls affecting certain models of the Ford Expedition, F-150 and Lincoln Navigator. Last updated Friday, after they were first issued on May 9, the recall notices affect more than 15,000 vehicles, combined. Braking issues Among the updated notices is recall on 2022, 2023 and 2024 models of Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs over issues related to braking. According to the recall notice, the front brake lines on some vehicles 'may have been bent during engine installation,' creating the risk of contact damage with the engine's air cleaner outlet pipe, which may cause brake fluid leaks. 'Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash,' it reads. Ford will contact owners of the 13,172 vehicles under the recall by mail and advise them to bring their vehicles to a dealership for inspection, replacing the brake lines and outlet pipes as necessary. Steering control Also updated Friday was a recall on 2025 Ford F-150 trucks. According to the manufacturer, the bolts attaching the lower steering shaft and steering gear may not have been properly tightened on some trucks, possibly leading to a loss of steering control. The recall is said to affect 1,846 trucks, nationwide. As with the other recall notice, owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and instructed to bring in their trucks for inspection. Ford may replace the lower steering shaft bolt, if required.
