Ford Recalls 230,000 Minivans for Corrosion Issue
In the United States, the recall affects only vehicles sold or registered in 20 salt-belt states and the District of Columbia, she said.
Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue, Felker said.
To address the problem, Ford dealers will install a new third-row seat mounting bracket and move the latches away from the potentially corroded area, while also installing overlay panels in the wheel wells, she said.
The affected states are Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
