Ford Issues Safety Recall in North America for Select 2018 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX Vehicles for Door Striker Bolts
DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 13, 2018 – Ford is issuing a recall for approximately 555 select 2018 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles in North America to replace door striker bolts in all four doors.
