Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information identifies three potential safety concerns for certain 2017 Ford Taurus vehicles. Corroding steering heat shield fasteners may allow the shield to detach, which can increase steering effort at lower speeds. On applicable vehicles, a transmission issue may allow the key to come out before PARK, creating a rollaway risk if the parking brake is not applied. Certain performance-equipped vehicles may also have rear toe links that fracture and suddenly change handling. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved, so check your VIN promptly and arrange the manufacturer remedy when an open recall applies.
