Some 64,900 model-year 2017-19 Flexes are involved in the recall. The issue stems from the driver and front passenger B-pillar door trim, which may detach while driving and create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
As a fix, dealers will inspect the B-pillar trim and repair or replace it, as necessary, for free. Interim letters notifying owners of the issue are expected to be mailed Dec. 8; a second letter will be sent out once a remedy is available. Those with further questions can contact the automaker at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 25SB8), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
