Ford Motor is recalling about 774,696 Ford Explorers because of potential fractures in the rear suspension.
A seized cross-axis ball joint may cause a fractured rear suspension toe link.
Impacted vehicles may experience unusual handling, or a misaligned rear wheel. Fracture of a rear toe link significantly diminishes steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
