What's wrong, in plain English

Ford is recalling certain Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs because the fasteners that hold the rear suspension toe link to the vehicle's frame may not have been properly tightened. If a toe link comes loose or separates from the frame, it can cause a sudden change in how the vehicle handles. This can happen while the vehicle is being driven, making the vehicle's behavior harder to predict and control on the road.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (recall number 19S36).
3. Dealers will inspect and tighten the fasteners, adjust rear alignment, and check the rear tires, replacing them if needed, free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V773000.
