Ford recalls thousands of trucks due to crash risk: What to know

(WHTM) — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that Ford Motor Company has recalled thousands of 2023-2024 electric trucks due to increased crash risk.

According to NHTSA, Ford is recalling nearly 12,000 of its 2023-2024 F-150 Lightning BEV vehicles due to an increased risk of crashing.

The NHTSA says the front upper control arm ball joint nut may not have been tightened properly, which could allow the front upper arm control to detach from the knuckle assembly.
