A Ford Explorer recall for more than 1.2 million SUVs has been ordered so that dealerships can replace the left and right rear suspension toe links.
According to Ford, 2011-2017 Explorers may suffer from rear suspension toe link fractures that will cause drivers serious steering problems, including the chance of losing control.
Ford says one driver reported hitting a curb when the toe link broke, but the automaker says it's unaware of any injuries caused by the problems.
A Ford Explorer is more susceptible if the rear suspension often travels over a surface that causes the rear-end to bounce.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has not released details about the Explorer recall, but Ford says about 1.2 million SUVs are in the U.S., 28,000 are recalled in Canada and one Explorer will be repaired in Mexico.
The 2011-2017 Explorers were built in Chicago between May 17, 2010, and January 25, 2017.
Ford dealers will need to align the rear suspensions in addition to replacing both rear suspension toe links.
Affected Ford Explorer customers with questions should call 866-436-7332 and refer to recall number 19S17.
CarComplaints.com will update this page when NHTSA releases details of the Ford Explorer recall.
