Washington — Ford Motor Co. is recalling 915,000 older Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner SUVs in North America for power steering problems, in the latest major recall this year.
The Dearborn automaker said it is calling back 2008-2011 Escape SUVs in North America under pressure from Canadian auto safety regulators, who have been investigating the issue since late 2011. Ford told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration it has reports of five crashes and six injuries in U.S. crashes connected to the issue.
Ford said because of poor signal-to-noise issues in the torque sensor, the vehicles’ power steering system may shut off and default to manual steering, which could make it harder to steer and lead to a crash. Ford will notify owners by July 25.
