Ford recalls 500 cars for faulty suspension
[THE INVESTOR] Ford Sales & Service Korea, the local importer and distributor of Ford vehicles, plans to recall certain model year of Exlorer SUVs sold here for the cars’ suspension problems, according to the transportation ministry on Dec. 21.
The recall affects 489 Explorer cars produced between Jan. 17 and May 31, 2014, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
The ministry said the toe link in the rear suspension of the vehicle may not have been welded properly, possibly causing it to break.
In such case, the driver may lose control of the vehicle, which in turn could lead to accidents, it added.
Free repair services will be available starting Dec. 30 at Ford Sales & Service Korea service centers, and those who have already fixed the problem at their own expense could have the cost reimbursed.
