If they aren&rsquo;t the fastener could fall out, which could lead the tire camber to change suddenly. That could lead to pulling and changes in steering effort, which could lead to an accident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/02\/2025-ford-explorer-debuts-with-a-new-face-larger-screen-but-drops-hybrid\/\">2025 Ford Explorer Debuts With A New Face, Larger Screen, But Drops Hybrid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\n  _taboola.push({\n    mode: 'thumbnails-a-mid',\n    container: 'taboola-mid-article',\n    placement: 'Mid Article',\n    target_type: 'mix'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\n  _taboola.push({\n    mode: 'thumbnails-oc-2x1',\n    container: 'taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic',\n    placement: 'Mid Article Thumbnails Organic',\n    target_type: 'mix'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Moreover, if the brake hose comes into contact with the tire, it may form a leak, which could lead to a decrease in braking performance, and an increase in the risk of a crash. Customers may notice a pull, a sudden change in the amount of effort it takes to steer their vehicle, and may even be able to spot an issue, if their right wheel appears to be leaning in at the top at a greater angle than the left wheel.<\/p>\n<p>In order to remedy this situation, Ford is launching a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/recalls\/\">recall campaign<\/a>, and will start reaching out to owners on March 4. They will be asked to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the strut inspected, and tightened to the correct torque, as necessary. Lincoln Aviator owners need not worry about this recall, because their struts are designed differently.<\/p>\n<p>        <a
