Ford Recalls Over 548,000 US Vehicles for Center Console Injury Risk
Summary
Ford is recalling 548,463 Expedition vehicles from model years 2018-2024 in the U.S. due to a center console issue where sharp edges could cause injury. This follows a larger recall of 1.4 million vehicles in April and an NTSB investigation into fatal crashes involving other Ford models in March. While not as extensive as the prior recall, this event will still incur costs for the company and adds to recent safety-related headlines.
