U.S. automaker Ford announced on Friday the recall of approximately 775,000 2013-2017 Explorer SUVs.
These vehicles can exhibit a steering problem that has already left six people injured in North America.
Are concerned about 676,152 vehicles in North America, 59,935 in China, 13,162 in Europe, 190 in South America and 25,257 in the rest of the world, details the group in a press release.
They were manufactured between September 2012 and September 2017 at a factory in Chicago, United States, and between January 2013 and July 2017 at a factory in Elabuga, Russia.
Owners soon notified
On these cars, a part can seize up, causing a thud, unusual handling or a misaligned rear wheel, Ford says.
If a connecting piece at the rear of the vehicle ends up breaking, it affects steering control and ultimately increases the risk of an accident, the group adds.
Owners will begin to receive notifications at the end of August and will be called upon to have their cars inspected at dealerships.
Last February, Mercedes recalled more than a million vehicles around the world.
A problem had been identified with the automatic emergency call system eCall, which could give an erroneous location of the vehicle.
