Ford Motor is recalling 227,006 vehicles in the United States after multiple manufacturing defects came to light, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The campaign spans several nameplates, reflecting a broad quality sweep rather than a single-issue fix.The bulk of the action covers 163,256 Bronco SUVs with loose front seat mounting bolts. Another 56,841 Lincoln models and the Ford Explorer are being called back over windshield defects, where air bubbles could form in the glass, impairing visibility and failing to meet a safety standard. Seat anchorage and clear forward vision sit at the heart of road safety, so the emphasis here looks well placed.In addition, 6,909 Econoline vans require repairs because the windshield defrost and defog system may not operate, which likewise compromises visibility. NHTSA noted that all work will be carried out free of charge at authorized dealers, a routine but crucial step to get affected vehicles back into safe operating condition.
