What this recall means for you

Certain Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2015 with the Police Interceptor or SHO Performance Pack may have rear suspension toe links that fracture under stress.

Ford will replace the rear suspension toe links at no cost at an authorized dealer. Remedy parts are not yet available. Owners were first notified on March 3, 2020, and a second notice will be mailed when parts become available, currently expected around the end of September 2020. The recall began October 28, 2020.
